New chair...new friend. A lovely aspect of business in Amish country...new friendships can be made over a transaction. We look forward to seeing Daniel, the craftsman, again in July.
It’s a mixed day here today….sort of like the weather- cloudy/drizzly with bits of sunshine. We’re sad to leave but happy knowing we’ll be back home tomorrow.
The kids and I are packing up and hitting the road bright and early tomorrow. Our time here at camp has been wonderful. Last night Daniel and I bought a beautiful hickory rocker handcrafted by a local Amish fellow. We stood and visited for nearly an hour afterward. What a rich treasure to visit with someone from another culture.
And THAT describes our three weeks here: a rich treasure. From Nate and Vi….to Lucy, the fabulous executive director of Camp Buckeye…to the volunteers we have crossed paths with….and the delightful conversation I had yesterday with a young woman trying to sort out GRACE after a life of heavy handed religion. (“Performance is everything,” she said.)
It’s all good.
But the best is yet to come….seeing my wonderful hubby and best friend (yes, they are the same) Jay. The kids too are eager to see Dad.
So signing off for a few days…
