CAROLE: Hey
Louise! Vacation time is fast
approaching. Wondering if any of our readers have been anywhere interesting in
recent years that they’d like to share?
My family adores camping in Death Valley. We love nothing so much as
tromping through a run-down ghost town or hiking to the back of an old mine.
There’s so much history left tumbling around out there. We’ve seen an eighty
foot waterfall in the heart of the desert and wildflowers of every color
imaginable. It’s one of our favorite
destinations.
LOUISE: Well, Carole,
you surely know by now that summer is my FAVE time of year, and along with
beach days, barbeques and flip-flops, I always look forward to my annual trip
to Lancaster, PA. As much as I’d love to say that I enjoy traveling to exotic,
tropical locales, I’m a simple country girl at heart. And nothing comforts me
more than a drive out to “Amish Country” where time seems to stop rushing
around so darn much. At the first sight of the miles of rolling green
farmlands, dotted unassumingly with silos and white houses, my worries seem
less formidable. My husband and I have made this trek so often that it has
begun to feel like a home away from home. After a day of shopping at road-side
vegetable stands and local-owned gift shops, we will typically visit our friends
who are lucky enough to call this pretty place their home. And if it’s fried
chicken or brown butter noodles you’re after – look no further. Everyone should
experience the peaceful Lancaster atmosphere at least once. In fact – now I
feel like going again this week!
Thanks for shooting the breeze with us today! Stay close and stay cool!
