Monday Evening and We Are in Pennsylvania

We finally arrived in PA and have time to sit down and catch our breath. In fact, we even have time to watch some, maybe all, of the Chiefs-Broncos game.

Friday evening we went to an Octoberfest and ate good German food and Milwaukee beer What a tasty combination. A group of young people. came in and performed a number of German folk dances. They did a marvelous job. it ws easy to tell how much they enjoyed the dancing.



On Saturday Maryann and I decided to visit the Reiman Publications shop. They have a complete collection of all of the "Saturday Evening Post" covers by Norman Rockwell. They even have a display of a specially made mannequin representing Norman Rockwell painting his self portrait cover. it was very cleverly done.


While in the little town of Greendale we visitied some of the shops after lunch. Outside of the restaurant was this fountain and garden. We are particularly interested in the device in the center that spins in the wind. We will be looking for one for our patio which we are planning to redo in the near future.

In the afternoon we did take the tour of the Miller Brewery. It was quite interesting. However, we did forgo the beer tasting. There were a lot of people on the tour and we wanted to beat the crowd to be able to get out of the parking lot more easily.

Saturday evening was the banquet and dance. It was another opportunity to visit with old friends and drink a little wine and, of course, dance. I was unable to get a photo of Maryann and me dancing. Perhaps Jim Anderson got one and will send it to me. If so, I will post it.

Time to get back to the game. The score is 0-0.

Serve well!
