The First Day in Volant








What great memories we made today. Left my sisters in Pittsburgh and headed for Volant, PA. A wonderful Amish area where the shops are quaint and the people are real.

Sweet memories were made today as we gave our middle sister her 60th birthday present. Lou actually started the tradition of giving this particular gift to each other for each of our 60th birthdays. Lou and I gave one to Pat (our oldest sister) on her 60th birthday 2 years ago. She had the idea of a 3 tiered diamond necklace, each diamond representing a sister. A tradition was born with that first diamond necklace and we all decided it would not only be a precious gift for each other but a precious gift to leave to each of our own daughters.

Had a FABULOUS cajun blackened steak tonight for Lou's birthday dinner at Rachel's Roadhouse, watched some men fly fishing in the Neshannock Creek, then saw some breathtaking sites of the Amish homes. Surprised Lou with a flower arrangement in her room made all of edible fruit. It was delish! A great day, most definitely.

Thanks Lord for a sweet time with my sisters.
