For the past 23+ years I have been writing to a girl in New Zealand. She answered an add I had placed in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine for a penpal. I was looking for a nurse who also quilted and Philippa answered my ad. Today, I was lucky enough to finally meet her. She has come to spend 9 days with me. Philippa arrived in Lancaster County, PA via the train. Quilters are always interested in seeing Lancaster County and seeing the Amish who are wonderful quilters. After a family style meal at Good & Plenty I drove us around some of the area around Bird-In-Hand where we saw some of the pristine Amish farms. We saw a number of Amish school houses. Surprisingly, there were more Amish youth out on the roads in their open air courting buggies than I had ever seen. We also saw 4 large volleyball games going on in some of the areas we visited.
