Well our day at Lancaster yesterday was quite cool and drizzly, I guess not all days there can be spring-perfect.
I was amazed at home MUCH development has taken place along the main thorofares, I cannot believe that the powers that be in that county allowed their most prized commodity-- countryside, to be swallowed up by multiple strip malls, cookie cutter tract developments and cheesy hotel chains.
Our funniest monment was watching an Amish man hightail it down Route 30 in what appeared to be a propane-powered forklift....progress!
Above, one of two Seder Plates, we had 15 people!
Below, the lower servants quarters have been transformed into a Seder dinner
We traveled to Lancaster County yesterday, particularly to pick out a chandelier from Great Windsor Chairs. This store was chocked full with beautiful period appropriate furniture as well as prints, lamps and chandeliers! I was so glad we made the trip.
The Julius Strugrus Pretzel Factory in Lititiz, Pennsylvania, started in 1861, and, as you can see, they also have a cut out in a room showing the brick framework construction of their building.
Ed Alana and Josh pose by the storefront; and Alana and Josh demonstrate the pretzel twisting techniques we learned.
The brick ovens that were originally used to bake pretzels.
A serene Amish Country vista. Hmmm...looks a lot like Upper Freehold !!
We will be mounting the new chandelier today. Have a great Easter everyone,
Love, Penny Ed Alana and Joshua
