Hello Winter Weather!

I love hearing people complain about how much they wish it would actually look and feel like winter outside. I get it. I love winter and we live in Northeast Ohio... you just learn to accept the horrible weather.

Then we get slammed with the snow and EVERYONE is complaining about it! Myself included. I should probably clarify my earlier statement. I love winter when I can watch it from the comfort of my home with hot tea and a really good book. I hate winter when I almost get run over by a semi-truck because they forgot to snowplow half the highway. I hate driving anyway but jeez! My heart was in my throat after that.

On the plus side, the hubby and I had the most fantastic weekend. We took a mini adventure to Amish Country on Saturday! We were so lucky. It was 50 degrees and sunny; a beautiful day.

We started at Smucker's. I always have the best time in there. It just might be my love of Mixed Fruit Jelly.





After that, we stopped at a "Latin store" and stocked up on all the yummy things we can only find in stores that import from Mexico... hello yummy-ness. 

Our next stop was Lehman's. Most people wouldn't be impressed with a store that sells non-electric goods. I am and, lucky for me, my husband is too! 




Jose's caption for this one- "This is what my wife 
does in a non-electric store... reads her Kindle."

I very nearly spent a LOT of money in there... I reined myself in. My birthday is only a few months away.

The next stop was just to satisfy my snack attack. Shislers Cheese House has samples of their most popular snacks right inside the shop. Hello snacks! Some of them are even healthy. Yumm! 

Our last stop was Das Dutch Kitchen. Go there! Go there very, very hungry. Get bread for the table and cover it in a LOT of apple butter. Then eat the Broasted Chicken. Save room for the Bumbleberry Pie. Or get the pie to go and buy a container of the apple butter.  Wow, that was seriously delicious food.

And the perfect ending to a beautiful, happy day.


These wonderful memories, with the person I love, get me through the dark, bleak, snowy days. The next time the sun shines, go make some memories with the one you love.
