Thursday, July 9

It was a beautiful, slightly hazy morning as we headed west.

Tunnels are familiar to those who travel through the mountains on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Because we’ve had lots of rain, foliage is lush and green.

Trucks always get my prayerful attention.

Breezewood was our first stop – for breakfast.

This was the most attractive Bob Evans in which we have ever eaten.

We got off the turnpike sometime before Pittsburgh.

Rain

We’re making progress.

Isn’t she pretty?

An interesting antique shop.

We knew we were close to Berlin, Ohio, when we began seeing Amish buggies.

Our destination and beautiful home for the next two days – Berlin Grande.

After settling into our room, we went to Mount Hope Auction to check if Gary Nussbaum and his crew needed any help for Friday evening’s truck rally. We helped with a few things, but I think there will be more to do in the morning.

Gary and Pearl asked if I would take pictures. Yes! I am going to like my job. 🙂

We chose Mrs. Yoder’s for supper, and it was apparently the place to be, as it was quite full. We had to wait a few minutes before there was a seat available for us.

Our comfortable room and bed looked good at the end of the day.

More tomorrow.
