Going to Meet Yvonne for Lunch!

Last week Yvonne and I finally got together again and met for lunch! We have been trying to get together for ages. I decided to take my camera to try and get some pictures because the ride up to Lancaster county is a beautiful ride.  It was a pretty day, bright and sunny and warm. Here are a few shots I got. I left early and there was no traffic so I could stop along the way to get some pictures!

 There are many farms, usually Amish farms along the way.

 I came across this Amish man leading his team of what I think are mules.

 They have to work hard since they still don't use electricity!

 We were meeting in Strasburg so rather than taking the road around the town, I went through the town as I was early. I love this quaint little town and the houses along the main street.

 This is the restaurant where we met; The Fireside Tavern. It used to be The Strasburg Inn and Joe and I have eaten here MANY times over the years. I took these shots to show Joe as the last time we were here it was all a big construction mess outside:) I'm sorry I didn't get a shot of the front of the restaurant.

 This is a B and B in Strasburg. I have had a friend for over 40 years who's Father-in-law owned this home. He was a Doctor in Strasburg. Now it is called the Limestone Inn.

 Their children gave them a gift of 2 nights here for an anniversary gift several years ago so they could go back. How sweet!

 Buggys are a common sighting along the way so I always go slow in case there is one around a corner!

 I hope you enjoyed going along on this little ride with me. Yvonne lives in a beautiful part of our state as those of you who read her blog (www.stonegableblog.com ) know. She is a dear friend and a beautiful person, inside and out.

 

Thanks for your visit.

XO, Pinky

~~~I had Lunch at STONE GABLE!!!~~~

 YES!!! You read that correctly! I know you are all DYING. Yvonne and I met through blogging and have become very dear friends. It is a friendship I treasure. She lives in the bucolic countryside of Lancaster county. It is GORGEOUS, and just a 45 minute drive for me. This is not the first time I have been at Stone Gable, we have shared several lunches, dinner and she has been here. I did NOT take pictures at her house, I will leave it to her to blog about our lunch if she wants to. But, I wanted to share this beautiful scenery. This is not Yvonne's house, just an Amish home along the way.

 This part of Lancaster county is Amish country. There are many horse and buggies to see and the MOST adorable little children you will ever lay eyes on!

 I promise, I pulled over and stopped for these shots, I didn't get them while speeding along the road:):)

 But the scenery along the way is spectacular and I wanted to share that. As you can see in my mirror, there was noone behind me:):)

 There are many farms along the way. I saw alot of cows and horses but there was always someone behind me then and I couldn't stop.

 This is the town of Strasburg, Pa. they have a train depot and museum that my hubby and I have seen several times.

 I was STOPPED in traffic, due to road construction and this guy just happened to be here!

Joe and I love to take a day trip, drive up to Lancaster county and shop, have a nice lunch and come home. We have done that MANY times. It is great shopping too. Yvonne is lucky to live in this wonderful area. THANK YOU, Yvonne for another wonderful day together. As you can imagine, lunch was FABULOUS!!!! I was so full, I didn't eat dinner:):) Thanks to you all for stopping by. XO, Pinky
