    It's nice to see you all in Lancaster. I've been wanting to go there but haven't gotten there yet. A lady on You Tube goes to the Goodwill Stores in the area and wow! they are some big Goodwill stores. Would be lots of fun to eat, stay, and shop at the thrift stores! It's nice to see Carly's bangs above her eyebrows. She has beautiful eyebrows and since they are so "in" right now, she should show them off. She is a beautiful child and I know you are proud of her.

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you so much. We are so proud of Carly. We seem to battle with the bangs. It seems like we get them trimmed and they need trimming again. A lot of the kids have the longer curtain bangs too. But enough about her hair. lol
      You would love Lancaster. We love just riding around and seeing all the beautiful Amish Farm Land. We also like going to the different Farmer Markets and Amish stores. Of course the Pennsylvania Dutch food is delicious too! Appreciate you watching and commenting!

    NOT an Amish buffet (the owners are Mennonites). Just the best buffet ever that happens to be in Amish country and includes some food with roots in Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. We get up there around 3-4 times a year, and the trip to Shady Maple is always an anticipated highlight.
