Back from Pennsylvania!
Hi everyone!
I had a great time in Lancaster this past week. I flew in to Philly on Sunday and met my editor, Sue Brower, and we drove to Paradise, PA, and stayed at the Creekside Inn Bed & Breakfast, a gorgeous historic home.
The Kathy and Dennis Zimmermann, the owners (pictured above), were wonderful hosts, and they shared many, many stories about their wonderful Amish friends. I highly recommend staying at the Creekside Inn when you visited Lancaster!
Above you can see Sue and me posing at the Creekside Inn. During our stay, Sue and I enjoyed two Amish farm tours. We also visited the Bird-in-Hand Bake Shop, and we met my Amish friend for lunch. Sue and I had dinner with another friend at the Bird-in-Hand Restaurant & Smorgasbord. On Tuesday, we visited a few more places and then headed back to the airport.
Our trip was quick but very productive. We talked about my current projects and future books. I hope to visit Lancaster again soon. Once my hubby is well, I’d like to make a family trip and show Amish Country to my boys.
I finished my edits to my second book, A Promise of Hope, last night, and I plan to send it off to Sue tomorrow after checking one last detail. I’m very excited about this story and can’t wait to share more information with you! I received a draft of my cover this week, and it’s gorgeous! I’ll share it as soon as it’s approved.
Below are a few photos from
my trip. You can find more on my
personal blog and on my FaceBook site.
I hope you enjoy them!
Above is a photo of a green shaded window in an Amish museum. You can tell the true Amish homes when you visit Lancaster County by spotting the green window shades.
Please note -- I'm sorry that the photos are so large. For some reason, the program won't allow me to size them.
‘Til next week,
Amy

Amy,
Your pictures were great. I especially like the one with the Amish boys and girls, there is just a peace with them and I just wish everyone had that kind of peace in everyone's lives. Thanks for sending them.

Amy,
I was also in Lancaster last week. We stayed at the Country Acres campground. I love Lancaster!! Everyone that we met were so friendly. We try to go there at least once a year.
