An Amish Adventure




I just got back from a visit to Ohio and my mom.  We had a great week.  The weather cooperated and wasn't too hot, too humid, or too buggy.  We spent two days in 'Amish country' for an early birthday celebration for mom's birthday.  We left on our 'field trip on Wed. and stopped by Charles Mill lake and checked it out.  We met a lady who gave us some good recommendations to check out.  We visited Millersburg, Berlin, Walnut Creek, and Charm, Ohio.  I went to a bunch of fabric shops and we ate lunch 'where the local eat'.  The pies were delicious.  We also went to the flea market, cheese shops, a great hardware store (Keim Lumber, not Lehman's).  We spent the night in Millersburg because trying to do it all in one day is too tiring.  Charm ended up being our favorite village.  The countryside is beautiful and the people are wonderful. 


In Millersburg I checked out the Holmes County Rails to Trails Trail which is 15 mi. long with plans to expand.  Horse and buggies are allowed as well as walkers and bikers.  I only walked a few minutes since it was hot and humid.

We both enjoyed the trip and I came home with lots of new fabric!
