We found this wonderful place about 30 miles west of Canton right in the middle of the Amish. It is a resort so every amenity you would want is here. We don't know if they have seasonal rates yet, but plan on asking before we leave because this area is great.
Today, we decided to make the "circle" through some of the Amish towns. About every 10 miles or so is another little community. I must admit that some of the items that were in their shops are items that I've never seen. Very nice and very good prices. Picked up a few things. Van finally found a fire poker which we've been looking for since last year's New Year camping trip with Dick and Joanne. Also, there were several quilt shops and to my surprise had a pretty good selection of 30's fabric. Of course, the wool up here is to die for.
We were told that you have to eat at least one meal at an Amish restaurant, so we did. Good choice there too.
It was getting late in the day so we thought we'd better get back to the motorhome for our killer dog. Luckily we arrived and about 10 minutes later the Tornado Warning Siren from the phones and ipads starting going off every few minutes. Van and I aren't ones to get too worried with weather, but the rain and wind were horrible and don't forget....we are in a trailer!
I think we are heading to the Pro Football Hall of Fame tomorrow in Canton. For those of you who don't know, I was born in Akron and lived in the area until I was 7. Mom has given me directions and before we leave we plan on trying to find some old places.
Talk to you soon.
In one of the towns there was some sort of auction. There were more buggies than cars.The quilt picture below was in the restaurant and I just love the pattern. I think I'm going to have to do this.
