Country Market-Millers Smorgasbord

October 20, 2015-Tuesday-  We are truly enjoying PERFECT Indian Summer Weather!!!!This morning we have bad news for Otis....he cannot go with us! After our coffee & Otis' potty walk, we are driving into Manheim, Pa to ROOT'S Country Market & Auction.It's a Lancaster County tradition since 1925.

                                                Don't worry Otis......we won't be gone long......
I read about the Country Market in the brochure we had, I knew it was a big place, but when we got there.....OMG....the place is huge! It had everything from produce to crafts. It had a lot of stuff one might want, & a lot of stuff one wouldn't want!


                                                                 Coconut Long Johns!

                                            Orange cauliflower???No need for the cheese???
                                                        The outside Flea Market
One man's Junk is another man's Treasure

We better head for the RV....Otis is waiting patiently for us!!!
See that patient look on his face!
With this perfect weather we're enjoying,,,,Lennie is grilling chicken breasts for dinner!
         Yay & Yummy!!!!

& now....the ending to a great day!
October 21, 2015-Wednesday-  (Today is the Back to the Future Day) Well bad news for Otis again....he can't go with us again! Today we are going for our big Amish Feast!!! It's going to be lunch that way we won't be leaving too early or staying gone too long, you know....for Otis' sake!!! We're going to Millers Smorgasbord, we've been there before....we know it's good!!!! The restaurant is located in Bird in Hand, all these cute towns are close to one another.
                                            Good-bye Otis....we'll bring you a doggy bag!!!
                                                               They have my vote!!!            
                                                                  Let's get started!!!!
 Gluttony is a sin soooo I didn't take a picture of our PLATES, it was sinful! But dessert....that's something else & this is chocolate pecan pie, sinfully delicious!!!
                                                      The view behind the restaurant.......

 We don't have to rush right back to the RV, Otis is okay for awhile & we do have a little doggy bag for him! Besides....if he was with us, right now he's be raising heck with the Amish horse & buggy! We went in a few shops & I actually bought some fabric! I told Izzy I would make her a purse when I get back home.....
 Bird in Hand Hot Air Balloon rides. They advertise they go up daily???? I still think I'd like to try that once before I get too old &  too scared!!!
I'm not going to buy anything else....we can go back to the RV now!

                                            See the frustration we're saving you from Otis!
     This is another view of the Amish Farm behind our RV site. We've got Otis out for a walk.
 While we were walking back to our RV site another couple with a dog approached us, Otis started to "Huff" at this dog but then.....an Amish Horse & buggy came down the street, Poor Otis...he didn't know how to deliver his outburst to both the dog & the horse & buggy at the same time!?! We better take that spoiled dog back to the RV site!!!
Dinner tonight.....not necessary, we ate so much at lunch time, I don't know when I'll be ready to eat again!?! Time now to put my jammies on so I can relax!

                                                                         Good-Night!

  1. You should have taken a picture of the fabric. What kind of bags do you make? That marketplace is huge. I would get confused with so much to look at. How do you manage to go to these places without buying stuff??? You have willpower. We had high 70's yesterday and today it is in the 40's. My car broke on the way home from Boston and is in the shop...$$$$$$$$$$$
