I Resisted Everything -- Almost!

I returned yesterday afternoon from my overnight trip to see our good friend, "Sid" in Pennsylvania. Having lost her Golden about a year ago, she recently added a new addition to her home, and Sid was anxious for me to meet her new girl, Gracie.

Anytime I have the chance to get together with my friend, I know it's going to be a great time.  This trip was no exception.  We had a fun day catching up, and we took advantage of the beautiful day to drive around Lancaster and see a few places I'd not gone to before.

I had no idea that there was not one covered bridge in Lancaster.

But there are two

And you can still drive across both.  

My friend wanted to use the day to get ready for Thanksgiving, and pick up a few things for the dinner she's planning at her home.  That meant several stops at a few of her favorite places.

First on the list, were pretzels at the Hammond Pretzel Company.

Then we were off to the bakeries.  Despite how good everything looked, I resisted buying anything here.

And here...

And here too.

One of our last stops was the "Wilbur Chocolate Company.  Where, I am not kidding, the air outside smelled like chocolate,  Again, I resisted buying anything.  

Despite there being a great selection.  

But the one thing I just had to buy was this monkey hat. Dusty didn't seem to mind wearing it.

But when I put it on Todd, he made it pretty clear that he wished it was one purchase I had resisted!

It didn't last long, and as soon as I removed the hat,
Todd's dignity was quickly restored!

I hope you've had a good weekend!
