Otis & I take the car & wait for Len at the office for hook up, He finishes up at the site..Hooking up!
We have already had our lunch stop, now a gas stop. If Lennie doesn't hurry up, Otis plans to take the wheel????
We are in Amish Country. Poor Otis, the Amish Horse & buggies just drives him CRAZY!!!!
NEXT RIGHT!!!!
Our site at Shipshewana RV Park
After dinner & dishes we took Otis for his nightly walk. When he hears a Amish horse & buggy coming he gets all hyped up! If anyone saw him running to the end of his leash tonight, they would have never guessed it wasn't that long ago he was limping like a little old man dog! Tonight he was running like a young pup!!!
Before we even went to bed it had started raining. By bedtime it was no longer raining.....it was POURING!!!! I hope our visit to Shipshewana isn't going to be a "wash out"???😐😕
This was Lennie's idea! We went to a Salvage shop looking for a refrigerator handle to replace the one that broke off in my hand!!!!
We went to Walmart to pick up a few things. Walmart has their own Amish parking!(Otis went crazy!?!)
Then we just enjoyed a nice country drive!
Well.....maybe we all didn't enjoy the country road, every Amish horse & buggy that drove by caused reason for concern by Otis!!!
In spite of the fact it rained on & off most of the day, after dinner the sun came out, & I was able to capture tonight's sunset!!!
AAAAAH Day is Done........
Back at the RV, I worked on my blog while Lennie watched the NASCAR Race!
I hope he enjoyed it!!!

Sunday September 11, 2016- Sunday in "Amish Country" is a very quiet time. Which is good for Otis I guess, he has nothing to bark at!!! Our morning starts off typical, Lennie walks while Otis & I have quality time!!When I smell coffee it's time to get up!!!! Our fellow RV friends from our Discovery Club, Fred & Betty are arriving today. They are staying in Howe, Indiana, while we are in Shipshewana, Indiana, probably about 10 miles apart.There's almost nothing open on Sundays in Shipshewana & surrounding towns, especially NOTHING AMISH! We didn't do much today while waiting for Fred, Betty, & Betty's friend Lynn to arrive, they should be in around 3:00pm. I colored, Lennie did trip research! We were outside relaxing when Fred called!!!!We didn't know where to go to eat....so we met at a Ice Cream Shop! JUST A MEETING PLACE!!!
Not a bad place to meet up!?!
Good thing the Custard Shop was open!!!!
& why'd we ruin our dinner by having custard!?!
Betty found a Family Diner open in Howe, so we'll go there for a quick bite to eat!
Hey! There's another car from Florida! Oh....that's Fred!!!
We had dinner at the Howe Family Restaurant. The parking lot was full! Could be the place is that good, or....because it's one of the few places open on a Sunday!?! Dinner probably would have been good, but I ruined my dinner by having ice cream first, so I just had a burger, but it was good!I asked our waitress if she would take our picture, she said she would, I handed her our camera, & she clicked! Usually when a waitress takes a group shot, I always check the picture! I didn't this time & as a result...NO PICTURE! Not a bad picture, no picture period🎥??? We made plans to meet tomorrow & part of those plans included an AMISH BUFFET!!!😋😋😋 Fred & "Company" are only going to be here for ONE DAY! YIKES!!!!! they're going to miss Tuesday's Flea Market!?!
Tonight's sunset......!
(Can't wait till tomorrow!!!)

Monday September 12, 2016- This morning, of course Lennie has walked, & it's a bit cooler so he wears his, "CAN YOU SEE ME NOW" sweatshirt! During coffee he told me he was the best dressed guy out there on the promenade!?! Then he added, he was the only guy out there!!!
We meet Fred & "Company" downtown Shipshewana! We kind of went off in different shopping directions, I think Lennie was the only one who returned without a bag!!!
Making the cheese
Another Food Shop!
Speaking of food.....isn't it about lunch time???
Dessert Station!
Our waitress has greeted us, it's time to get in the food line!!!
After our meal.....we go our separate ways, we all have dogs that need a break. Otis has some more horse & buggies to wreak havoc on!!! Fred & company probably have things they need to do in preparation for taking off. Lennie is putting his new surge protector on. Our forwarded mail was delivered today. I actually had a letter! Wow....real mail! Later Lennie & Fred took a drive to another salvage shop, I guess Lennie is still hoping to find a refrigerator handle, even tho he came up with his own solution! I should insert a picture of his solution here!!!
After that HUGE (late) lunch I feel NO NEED for dinner, but Lennie.....he always needs 3 meals a day, so I fixed him breakfast for dinner!
Fred & "company" leave in the morning, as for Lennie & Me.....we're going to the Flea Market. Otis is hoping we don't bring any FLEAS home!?!
-_________________________________________________________________________________
Tuesday September 13, 2016-This morning......is Flea Market Day!!!! We go to the Flea Market every time we're in Shipshewana & it seems like they always have the same stuff & yet I can't wait to go there again!!! It draws a HUGE crowd of shoppers!!!
It's mostly LOOKING!!!
So much to look at!
We are going back to the RV, we are camping practically walking distance to the Flea Market, to have lunch, but Lennie wants to stop once more at the Amish Bulk Food Store, & surprisingly we had lunch right there at the inside deli! Yummy! they had a lunch deal that included your sandwich, chips, drink & a COOKIE!!! I hated to go back to the Campgrounds cause I had to tackle the laundry.😕 Len went to was the car & started getting things ready for tomorrow's departure.
Otis was happy we took him for a walk & he had his last chance to bark at the Amish Horse & buggy! What a silly dog!!!
Tomorrow we will be leaving Shipshewana, we have a long drive ahead of us, that means an EARLY start. I hate those early starts!!!😭
