I've just returned from a beautiful day with my dear Rebs.
We drove with the top down on her jeep, sun smiling on us and the wind in our hair. Nothing but blue skies and the road ahead. We drove all over Lancaster County - through towns with odd names like "Bird in Hand" and "Intercourse", past endless green pastures laden with dairy cows and young colts grazing alongside their mothers, over hills and valleys, and alongside cornfields that perfumed the air with their earthiness. We came across horse-drawn buggies carrying Lancaster County's most popular citizens, the Amish and Mennonite community. We came across oddities only found in Lancaster: a Mennonite woman riding her bicycle, clothed in an ankle-length dress and talking on her cellphone; and many a young Amish man riding about town on retro-scooters.
To conclude the official Rebs' tour of Lancaster, we popped into the downtown area where we shared a PB&J doughnut (soooooo good!), bought biscuits and chocolate at the local English/Irish/Scottish store and had lunch at Prince St. Cafe.
Afterwards, we watched Brideshead Revisited and admired the beautiful Matthew Goode. We sighed. We blushed. We giggled like school girls.
It was a glorious day. I am refreshed and as perky as a sunflower in the midday sun. Happy sleep and dreams are certain tonight.
Thanks, Rebs! Love, love, LOVE you and your beautiful soul!
