Visiting Amish Country

Pam, Dave, me and Bud visited our friends from the Villages, Pam and Rod in their winter home in Mansfield Ohio. They have an apartment in their sons home in the basemant of his 3900 square foot brick house. The apartment in so nice, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, laundry room. The house upstairs was fantastic. It was probably the nicest house I have ever been in. The bathroom (one of six) was bigger than our living room. Oh well, it is nice to see how the other half lives
Pam and Rod took all over Amish country. We went to an Amish store like Lowe's only there is no comparision. This one has oak woodwork, etc. It was so nice. Then we went to an Amish hardware that went on forever. You can find things there you can't find anywhere else. We also went to Wooster, Ohio to the Rubbermaid outlet and bought a few things. I never knew Rubbermaid made so many different things.
We ate, and we ate and played Mexican Train until it was quite late. We made lots of noise with all of our kidding and laughing. We always have such a great time when we all get together.
We were really quite a group this weekend. Bud has a sore leg, Dave has a sore hip, Pam is recovering from walking pnenmonia, Rod was taking a sulfur drug that gave him an allergic reaction and compromised his liver so he had been very sick. Maybe we had so much fun because everyone was on pain medicine.
Pam's son Jason rolled his pickup truck and totaled in on I-475. It is a wonder he didn't get killed or kill someone else. The angels must have been watching out for him.
All in all it was a wonderful weekend.
