Was there for like last 9-10 days. Have to unload a few videos from my drone and phone and will share here!

I love visiting the Amish folks. Stopped by a small produce stand on the side of the road last night, which is owned by a local Amish family. The entire family of like 8 came out to help us! And better, they had a big ol English Bulldog. I told the father it was my favorite dog and then he told me he had puppies for sale! Had to leave quickly without seeing them as I know myself too well! He said $2,395 but I could probably have talked him down. Would have been divorced before I hit the NY border anyway, so likely for the best. :)

Also, the nicest family I have ever met. Very strong German accents they had. I know their Bible is a very old German one so I can only guess that's where it starts, but really have no idea.

Felt obligated so I bought a few bird feeders, some homemade strawberry jam and some other goodies.

---

That aside, ate at various buffets 6 times total, and worse when we ate at the house we stayed at. Thought I gained like 60lbs while I was there, but was SO damn hot and I sweat the whole time - I damn lost 6lbs instead when I weighed myself when I got home. :(

Had prime rib, bbq pulled pork, bbq ribs, fried shrimp, cold shrimp, NY strip, fried chicken, haddock & breakfast galore as well!! Was with family the whole time, so was a really nice experience.

Usually it's one of those shots where the ball sticks between the backboard and the net. :)

So nothing exciting here. I love Pa. for the relaxation I get when I go there. I absolutely love all of the animals! Everything about the Amish, and their food of course!

Nice! I feel like I was there!

I tried to get photos and videos both from phone and my new drone. Wish it was more exciting! I should have video taped my fat butt mauling the various buffets! :laugh2:

Beautiful shots, every one of them. Seeing that Weeping Willow reminded me of my grandparents home near Reading.
Though I live in the South. I will always be a Pennsylvania boy. Just wish the rest of the state looked that good today.
Thanks for all of the memories too!

Looks like a little slice of heaven! Definitely makes me want to resume searching for a mating pair of peafowl but I then think about the racket they make with their calls and I immediately close the google tab.

However should the people that own the property just in front of ours turn out to be Democrats, game on. Along with a nice flock of guinea fowl. :dev2:
