We saw some beautiful countryside today. We decided to go to the Dutchman's Store in Cantril today. They had peaches for $.99/pound and various other things, too. So we took off about 10:00. Beautiful crops between here and there! We got some bargains and a couple of things we really didn't need...just wanted! When we left Cantril, we went out the east way and there was a camel....AND a baby camel! Now that's something you don't see every day! I had my camera with me, but I hadn't checked the battery and it didn't have enough juice to take any pictures! We also saw shocks of oats and a big straw pile...and a young man raking hay with a team of draft horses. I wanted to drive through Drakesville, so we went that way home. The Amish down around Drakesville are prospering evidently...there are several new businesses, and everyone was open today. It was a good day for a Sunday drive...on a Wednesday!
When we got home, we had our lunch and just enjoyed being with each other. About 4:30 we made homemade ice cream. Just as it got done, some of our church friends pulled into the driveway, so we shared with them. I didn't like the ice cream very well. It was a mix from The Dutchman's, called vanilla bean. I would rather just have my mom's cooked pudding vanilla. I thought this was a little overwhelming with vanilla.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Independence Day! We sure did!! More later...
