It is dark. It is raining. I can barely see the white-capped waves on the lake.
We drove extra miles north of the interstate last night in order to stay at a Fairfield Inn because we love them.
We drove over 400 miles yesterday. We were up at six and on the road around 7:30. Banjo Man drove the first two hours. There was sun, there were farms, it was lovely. My turn came and the trip turned ugly: rain, construction and traffic. For hours.
Finally I had had enough and took the exit to Shipshewanna, Indiana, home of the Amish and many quilt stores. We had been here twice before, so we went right to a huge restaurant and scarfed down comfort food at the buffet.
I took a picture of mashed potatoes, but I hesitate to post it.
Uh oh. Time to hit the road. Pennsylvania and Banjo Man are calling!!
is there any more pie? 
Hate driving in rain. Be safe. ❤️🌸🙏💕
It has been a long time since my high school geography class so I had to pull up a map to locate Lake Erie and see how it fit into your route home. Now I see it. Thanks for keeping us posted on your trip home.
I couldn’t believe we were that far north!
I couldn’t believe we were so far north!
Onward! Hope you can avoid the snow! So good to see you here in Lincoln. Thanks for stopping.
A treat to have lunch with you. 😊
I hope you had a chance to stop in at a favorite quilt shop “I Sell Fabric”. I love Shipshewanna!
Drove right past it, bit it was raining and we were starving. Intended to stop on the way out but a bridge was out and there was a major detour. Guess I will have to see it another year….
