Monday/Tuesday

This a combined accounting of the events of the last two days. As I mentioned it earlier we decided to spend Rosh Hashanah with our friends.

My wife decided to cook dinner and dinner would be transported to their house. She got up early Sunday and by noon all dinner was done.

We packed it into the car and started off to their house.

Three hours later we arrived and the girls prepared dinner.

Not because my wife made it but it was fabulous. We all enjoyed it and just had a good time. Stayed up until about midnight and just talked and talked.

Monday morning got up at a reasonable time and we all took off to Amish country. We just love that area and it is fairly close to our friends' house.

Since my wife loves antiques we again visited a whole bunch of antique stores. One has to be careful with these stores because some of them sell stuff that is not local and likely made outside the country while the real Amish stores sell local antiques. These were the ones we were looking for.

Found a few things we liked and bought a few things we liked.

One of the highlights of the day was the family style lunch in a local restaurant. Five of us sat at a table, two more people were added later, and were served non-stop with food. For me the star was the fried chicken. Very well made, crispy and plenty of it. But there was roast beef and other things, too.

After lunch we walked a little more to walk off the added calories then said our goodbyes and took off for home.

Trip home was easy and by around nine we were in our apartment. All in all it was a very nice time because as far as I am concerned there is nothing better than spend time with good friends. Actually for me the only better time is to spend time with my wife.
