A Busy, Busy, But Fun Weekend!

Ken and I had a restless night at the hotel, probably because we rarely sleep in any beds other than Waldo and at home.  We were up by 6, showered, and Ken loaded the CRV while I finished getting ready!  We went down to the lobby for the motel breakfast by 6:45.  It was an excellent breakfast with so many good choices.

We were on Interstate 95 by 7:05 (WOW) and we knew it would be another day with lots of miles to cover.  But, all went well and with only a few gas and "potty" stops we were back in Lititz by 4:45.  We stopped at my friend Polly's house to drop off our bikes and the bike rack.  Got to our apt. at 5:15 and had everything unloaded and actually put in its place by 6:15.  We left to have dinner at a local pizza place that also sold beer and liquor - we were ready for a treat after all that driving.  (Another 550 miles today!)

After a delicious chicken cheese steak and a slice of pizza (we shared both) we were on our way to card club in Ephrata.  So good to see all of our card club friends and have an evening of fun!  Only got home at midnight, and needless to say, we were exhausted.

Sunday morning we were at Church by 8:50 and got to sit with Jamie, Dane, and Dane's parents, Sue and Dan.  Good to see all of them.  After church we went to Bria and Cali's Sunday School class and we were so happy to see each other!  After they left, we had a fun time talking to our small life group and reconnecting.  They are such great people!

We left church at 10:40 and headed to the Olde Hickory Grill near Lancaster to have breakfast with Fred and Doloris, our camping buddies and special friends here at home.  So good to see them again too!  Wow, how blessed are Ken and I to see so many of our friends and family in such a short time of being home.  After breakfast we headed to Costco for some needed groceries (Old Mother Hubbards cupboard is bare!) and by the time we were back to the Apt. and had put everything away, both of us needed a nap. 

After resting for about an hour, we drive to Jamie and Dane's.  She was so kind to invite us for dinner along with Lanie and her family, so we could spent time with all of them at one place!  What a special evening.  We are very blessed people!  Left there at 8 when Bria and Cali went to bed and I called it a day around 9.  It has been a wonderful weekend, but I think we need to "catch up" on some rest!

 

Jamie and Dane have a great basement
for entertaining!

Can't help but love these special little ones!

After dinner, they did a dance
show for us.  They had practiced
upstairs before the "performance"!

Katelyn was all smiles during the
"show!"

Bria, Sam, Cali, and Katelyn - the dance
performers!
