One spring "Mr. Bill" took off to go to a wedding /graduation up in Virginia and decided to come back through Amish Country, to look around visit and "Pick". This was the days before cellphones, and no one really knew where he was, but he was having the time of his life.... getting to know the people, places and things of Lancaster County. One late afternoon after being gone for several weeks, he pulled up in the driveway with Dina and got out wearing his "Amish" Hat and carrying his suitcase. Truck was loaded down with items and treasures he found along the way ....all with a story to tell. We helped him unload the truck and their were over 20 "mule harnessess"... and we said.."Bill, what are you going to do with "20 mule harnesses". He laughed and said...."Make wreaths for the neighbors doors for Christmas". We never did, but always got a chuckle out of the idea! He talked about that trip often and all the wonderful people he met along the way. Happy Trails to you Mr. Bill...and may the Country Roads take you home.
