Here are a few pictures from my trip to Lancaster County. We packed a ton of fun into a day and a half.
In addition to general Amish highlights & hilarity, there were a number of fiber related moments ….. we saw cows aplenty, but do you see that field of alpaca? We spotted them on one of our trips down the back roads – I wonder if there were others? We also made a point to go see the Quilt Museum in Bird-in-Hand. This is a must see if you are in or near the area. I also popped in to Labadie Looms where I drooled over some wheels and made a sock yarn purchase! That picture of the felted cat/mouse sculpture is from that shop.
I got home Friday evening from that trip and Saturday was back on the road with Boar & D#2 for a college day. I am happy to tell you that she has finally made up her mind and will be studying at Bard in the fall! You will be interested to know the school is just north of Rhinebeck – oh the convenience!

Do they just teach Shakespeare there – or can you study other guys too?
Amish hilarity? ; )
What a gorgeous campus… I’m so happy that she’s made up her mind!
Congrats on the college decision!
What a pretty campus. Very sweet of her to pick the convenient one, huh?
Now explain all the photos of chocolate making, please. Do these hilarious Amish also dip nuts and chews?
I just peaked at Bard’s tuition! Yikes! No yarn purchases for you this year! I am so glad mine are out and employed!
Congratulations on the choice of Bard. It’s a beautiful campus and I can totally understand why she’d opt to go there. Plus there’s a fantastic farmer’s stand just down the road during the warmer months. (My college roommate lives in Red Hook.)
That’s where Melanoma Melanie and Dogs Steal Yarn Cari went!
Isn’t it a relief to have that decision made? My DH just decided on Westmont College (Santa Barbara area) three days ago – nothing like waiting until the last minute! Looks like both our girls chose small, interesting, beautiful campuses. We can go on a yarn diet together for the next four years!
And I love Amish country – especially Zook’s General Store in Intercourse, where there is another great quilt museum. You’ll have to go there next time!
Oops, I meant my DD decided on Westmont – DH is just going to be sending all his money there!!
How considerate of her to pick a school near Rhinebeck!
