Grace
and Ken were the best hostess and host! They thought of all kinds
of options of things we could do while we were there. We started the
breakfast at the Shady Maple Smorgasbord. Although they said the prices had gone up, we found them to be quite reasonable - compared to
the you-live-near-DC prices we pay for meals. The buffet had about
everything you can imagine. Some of the food I haven't had since I was a
kid, and now that I know enough abut what is in it, refuse to eat as an
adult - scrapple. However, there are members of my family who do enjoy
it, so this pic's for you.
After that we went to the Daniel
Boone homestead, a fascinating place to visit with some great photo
opps. According to the informational video, Daniel Boone left the
Birdsboro area because he wanted more "elbow room". Given the size of
the property NOW and understanding it was much larger THEN, I can't
imagine, how much more elbow room he could have needed.
The day
ended sitting on their front porch listening to
the sounds of the great outdoors, talking, and
laughing. Laughing is a great way to spend an evening and there was plenty of it! Their cats, Miss Maudie and Dill (did
I mention that they are both retired English teachers?) kept us company.
The only thing that disturbed our evening was the four cars (yes, we
counted - 4!) that drove down the road in front of their house. It was the quietest road we'd ever been one!
