Ruth and I had a great day. We started by having Coffee with Alicen. About 10AM Joley & John showed up. Joley told me she would take me to an Amish bakery to get the best shoe fly pie in the area. So we told Oscar to be a good boy and left him behind in Gracie. In just 45 minutes later we arrived to a CLOSED sign.

What can you do but get over it. It did flash me back to our last trip when we bought lemon filled doughnuts that turned out to have no lemon when we returned to the CG. Anyway we decided on lunch at Cracker Barrel and while there discovered they rent books on CD that you can pick up at one location and return to any other. We're stopping tomorrow to pick up our first book.

Next we went to Joley & John's house since we had never seen it. They gave us the tour then left us alone for about 30 minutes while they ran some errands. In that short time we managed to break their coffee maker. Opps! So we returned to Alicen's and unhooked the toad so we could get turned around to exit their long driveway in the morning. Another Opps, did I do that? My spotters were carefully watching tree clearance and other obstructions while I backed off the driveway and made some super sized ruts in the yard. Stew will hate me come spring. We ended our evening with yummy supper and lot's of baby time.

Buy the way, Oscar did fine. No unpleasant piles or destruction. See photo we took upon our return.

Tonight we test the furnace again. Forecast is for a low of 21!

Tomorrow we take off in search of our own pie and depending on weather, a stop at Bobby's or head further South. DC area here we come.
