~Lancaster, County, PA~

We had another fantastic day in Amish Country! We spent the entire day going from village to village and going in and out of different Amish stores. Everything is homemade – quilts, food, furniture, meats, cheeses – just amazing. All the stores have samples of everything they sell. We actually were FULL from all we “tested”. We did buy some meats, cheeses, peanut butter schmier, etc....


Some of the towns were actually quite big and there were buggies everywhere.

 This is all the stuff we bought – all for under $30.00. We stopped at such a great Amish farmstand. It was so cheap too. We bought ½ dozen corn, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, 3 x cukes, onion, sweet potatoes and an “orange crisp” watermelon. Then off to “Stoltzfus Meats” where we purchased feta cheese?? (is that a meat?), beef sticks and peanut butter schmier (a delicious spread!) and our last things came from “September Cheese Farm” - a family run operation – parents and 5 kids – we bought Muenster cheese, Farmer's cheese, 3 x cajun cheddar curds and 1 x tomato and basil curds – all DELISH!!

Ok....so who said “camping” had to be hotdogs and hamburgers??? We had such a great dinner with all our purchases – roast beef and gravy, sweet potatoes, corn, beans and spaghetti squash and then our watermelon for dessert – thanks Amish!

  2. p.s. The following message is from Mom: Are you going to Ellice Island? While at ellis island here is some info to look for Giovanni D'angio from Mondragone Italy arrived May 29,1910 on the Calabria Manifest line number 0030, and brother Raffaele on May 26,1911 on the Perugia Manifest line number 0013. The D'angio name is on the wall of names I believe. Could you take apicture if you find them? Thanks a lot Love Grandma
