MEETING NEW FRIENDS, MARGERY AND PAUL

Monday, September 10 – When we got out of bed this morning, it was 44* F on the thermometer. Fall is definitely here, and it's getting close to “heading south” time. Turned on the over-head heat pump to take the chill out of the motor home. We really like the heat pump feature in our air conditioner. Most of the time (when temperature is 41* or above) that's all the heat we need. If it is too cold outside, the heat pump feature doesn't work....just not enough warmth in the air.
We met fellow bloggers Margery and Paul of Living our Dream for lunch this afternoon at the Der Dutchman Amish Restaurant in Walnut Creek, Ohio.

This is in the heart of Amish country, here in Ohio, and we enjoyed seeing the beautiful countryside, gorgeous farms, the Amish in their buggies, and several Amish farmers working their fields with teams of horses. What an amazing group of hard working people.

Margery and Paul are staying in Amish country, one of their favorite stops. They've been relaxing in the country for several weeks and will be heading to Pittsburg (their former hometown) soon, to visit family and friends. Interesting note from Marsha…Margery and Paul's blog is the first one she EVER read and followed. She was so happy to meet them in person.

We had a great lunch and an even better visit with friends Margery and Paul. We hope to see them in the near future, somewhere down the road.

  3. We got up this morning to 50. So we turned on the fireplace. Isn't it great to have these things that just take the slight chill off?

    We found you just can't beat the food served at lots of Amish places.

  5. I need to put that area of Ohio on our wishlist. We did Amish country in Pennsylvania a few years ago but only over a weekend. I've always wanted to go back.

    Guess you haven't closed on the house yet since you talked about using the heat pump in your motorhome?

  8. Thanks for clearing up the fact that wasn't Paul in your header photo tilling the fields behind that team of horses. I thought he'd gone 'full Amish' on us.
