Friday, November 28
We had some errands to run today: Weaver’s Store (Fivepointville), Wal-Mart (Ephrata), and Landis Homes (Lititz) – including a short visit with Mother when there.
In some areas there was still some snow and ice on the ground.
As we neared Landis Homes, we noticed the Amish were building a new barn. It wasn’t real large, so there only a few men working on it.
There was a trailer with trusses and lumber on it at the end of the lane.
When approaching a Landis Homes office entrance, I noticed some pretty ornamental cabbage.

After a quick stop at Wal-Mart, I was glad we didn’t have a lot of shopping to do. The store was full of people and lines were long. Weaver’s Store was quite busy as well. Cerwin needed to return a hunting item.
We spent the rest of the day at home, and at one point Cerwin noticed that our water heater was leaking. Consequently, I had to heat water tonight to clean up after supper. It isn’t a good weekend to discover we need a new water heater.
We may have to spend the weekend heating our water. Oh, well, it could certainly be worse. At least we have water. 🙂
I love that store! I remember when it was a tiny one room store, before they built the big one. I was one of the very few non-Amish customers! I would buy little sun bonnets for my baby girl. We still visit that store when we come to Pa. I always enjoy walking around and getting some little donuts, freshly made, on the way out!
