So many treasures and so little time!! The Amish and their lifestyle are fascinating to me. I often wonder what it would be like to live that way, but know that I would never survive without a blow dryer. :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264090993272772256.post-77059502643308922142015-05-10T23:36:08.884-04:002015-05-10T23:36:08.884-04:00That shot of the barn with the pony on the steps i...That shot of the barn with the pony on the steps is my favorite.

Not certain though! A coule years ago, my daughter, mother-in-law and I went to Pennsylvania to visit my brother-in-law and his family and we went across the border to Ohio to the Amish country there. We stayed in Millersburg and it was just as gorgeous as Lancaster. There were so many thrift stores! We had a blast shopping them and I found so many wonderful things in them. I hope to go back someday! Thanks for sharing your trip...:) Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!Vicky Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421861086003316243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264090993272772256.post-2922924212807616522015-04-30T21:13:41.407-04:002015-04-30T21:13:41.407-04:00We have been going to Lancaster County for many ye...We have been going to Lancaster County for many years. You really need to go back especially during the summer and spent a few days. I love going when the Amish set up roadside farm markets during the summer months. <br /><br />To really enjoy Lancaster county make sure you get outside the main tourists areas and tour the countryside. On Fridays, there is the Green Dragon flea market and many Amish and Mennonites are there selling their wares. <br /><br />While restaurants such as Good & Plenty, Millers and Plain & Fancy are great, they cater really to tourists. I would suggest you stop by Dieners in Ronks, PA next time. Its a smaller local restaurant that is run my Mennonites and they also serve PA Dutch food. There you will see many Amish and Mennonite families eating and more locals. Its very reasonable and has a great fresh buffet or menu dining if you prefer.

We saw a lot of this when we lived in Indiana. Did you eat at the restaurant? I know the Amish prepare wonderful meals.<br />I would love to shop there. Look at all those treasures.
