my world #2: cider mill

10.27.2008

On our way home from girls’ weekend out, BFF Judy and I stopped at a cider mill in a nearby town. It was a spur of the moment decision. After sampling the pumpkin doughnuts, sipping the cider, and watching the kids and animals having a great time, it’s a decision we’re glad we made. The [...]

so what was all the excitement?

10.16.2008

Here’s a clue. Who knew there was an entire industry devoted to fire truck repair? Wayne, maybe, but not me. As it turns out, this wasn’t a repair. They had a new truck they were checking out – whether for the buyer or the seller, I can’t say. Obviously, one of the things that it’s [...]
