Shopped Until We Dropped!

Yes we did! 

 

Where to begin.  I will start at the beginning.  Seems best, right?  We dropped the girls off at the kennel for their vacation.  In case you don’t remember, the girls are Jana’s dog (Mattie) and my cat (Penny).  NOTE:  They did fine.

Jana and I then headed for Holmes County, Ohio.  We took expressway until we got past Columbus, and eventually we ended up on one of the back roads that go through Amish Country.  It was a beautiful ride.  Took us about four hours to get to the motel.  Would have been less, but we stopped for lunch and potty breaks.  Both necessary stops 😊.

We stayed at a Comfort Inn in Millersburg.  This was one of the nicest motels that I have ever stayed.  The motel served a hot breakfast every morning.  Of course, this was where we ate.  They had scrambled eggs, either bacon or sausage, cereal, fruit, coffee, juice, bagels, cream cheese, waffles, pancakes, and, of course, donuts.  Since the stores didn’t open until nine o’clock, we usually got on the road between eight-thirty and nine.  Didn’t want to miss out on anything!

After checking into the motel on Monday we decided we might as well head out.  We still had a lot of time to do some shopping.  The first thing we did though was find the Catholic Church.  Tuesday was a holyday so we knew we would have to go to Mass.  I had found a church in Millersburg which turned out to be about five minutes from the motel.  I called them and was told their Masses would be at noon and seven o’clock p.m. on Tuesday.  We put their address in the garmin to find the church so we would know where we were going.  We were doing just fine when the garmin told us to turn right on NO NAME STREET.  Now you can imagine what we thought.  How do we find a street with no name.  Well, it turned out that that actual name of the street was NO NAME STREET.  We had a good laugh about that.

From there we went to TIS THE SEASON CHRISTMAS STORE.  It was wonderful.  We spent about two hours there and a lot of money!  We bought a lot of Christmas presents along with a few items for ourselves.  I can't tell you what we bought since some of them were presents.  Next we went to a store called SOL’S.  This place had everything you can imagine.  And, yes, we bought a few items at SOL’S but decided we would come back again later in the week. 

That was the extent of our shopping for Monday.  Our next stop was supper at the FARMSTEAD RESTAURANT.  It was delicious!  Amish cooking, of course.  We decided to order from the menu so we wouldn’t over eat by getting the buffet.  We both enjoyed our meal, and finished it with a piece of pie.  What a way to end the day. 

After eating we went back to the motel, took our purchases to our room, and collapsed.  We knew we would have to rest up for the next day.
