Sisters =)

What a fun, but short, weekend we had! Saturday morning just after 8, Mary Ellen and I headed north towards State College to our sister, Jean. We arrived in good time in spite of the rain.....let the fun begin, in spite of the rain!!

After lunch we went to Bellefonte to check out an antique mall. Oh the hills in that town!!

This doesn't show how steep they really are.

I'd hate to park up there....

the car door would fly open like a bullet on one side

and be impossible to push open on the other!!

The bottom picture is at the thrift shop we found

on the way to the antique mall.

The antique place was incredibly big!

Lots and lots of levels and stairs and booths.

SO much fun!!

After that we stopped in at Jean's son's beautiful property.

de saw the tree that fell across their road 

during a violent storm earlier in the week.

They were without power for a long time.

We drove past lots of downed trees around that area.

Anthony and Lori have a beautiful property.

Taken from one of the windows facing the pond.

We all headed to Done's  Bones for dinner.

We ate there last year, too.

The food is fantastic!

Anthony and Lori and their adorable boys

Dick and Jean

Mary Ellen and me

Jeanie with her adorable grandson.

Grandpa is feeding him a french fry =)

After stuffing ourselves (the portions were huge!!)

we went back to Jean's house again for the night.

First a movie then some sleep.

We were up early and at church around 8!!

Jean is the music director at this church.

Their service starts at 8:15.

These 4 made some beautiful music together!

Jean had Mary Ellen and I help sing with the choir. 

Of course she did =)

After that service was over, we went home for a bite to eat then headed to another church. At that church neither Jean or Dick have any responsibilities. They just go to soak it in. So nice for them!

After the service we visited with Anthony and Lori and several of their friends.

Before lunch we took time for some pictures....

Yes, we took one outside on her patio...

it wasn't raining but it was cold!!

All too soon it was time to head south towards home again. The time goes too fast when we are together!

Our drive home was uneventful and the was even some blue skies!

Some of our family came last evening and we had breakfast for dinner....it was so good! And Nana got to hold Cambrie =)


It's a chilly day today even though the sun is shining. Here's Noah's take on it....

Happy Monday to you!
