Adamstown, PA SMART Muster








October 15th Friday Cool and Sunny

We left Wellsboro yesterday as it was beginning to rain and it continued to rain all of the way here and continued during the night last evening. This morning we awoke to sunshine, however, we have lots of wind.

Our SMART group met in the clubhouse for a welcome supper of homemade bean soup and a variety of homemade breads and for dessert we enjoyed a birthday cake to celebrate all of the birthdays in October.

We enjoyed chatting with everyone last evening and catching up with all of what had happened since our last meeting at Centre Hall in September.

We were up early this morning and got breakfast ready for our group. We are fortunate to have a club house to meet in, as it is a bit chilly outside to use the pavilion. After we cleaned up from breakfast, Lou and I got ready and drove into Reading to Vanity Fair Outlet, both of us enjoy shopping there and neither of us have been there in years. Lou was anxious to get some new jeans, he has been wearing four pair that I had gotten from Penneys and he was in need of fresh ones. Once I got him going he got right into it and I think he ended up with six pair of jeans and four pair of shorts along with new shirts, under clothes, belts, wallet and a couple of odds and ends. We really had a good time and took a little extra time and had Chinese for lunch and arrived back to the RV in time to walk Estee and meet the rest of our group and out for dinner.

We all drove to Ephrata for dinner, we ate at Bright's and found it to be a wonderful place to eat with great homemade food. Lou and I enjoyed a shrimp dinner with pepper slaw and for dessert we split blueberry crumb pie. We ended up having 24 people in attendance. After we returned back at the RV, I started preparing the sausage gravy for breakfast. I have two crock pots full of gravy sitting on the kitchen counter keeping warm for an early breakfast.

We had a friend drop by this evening, Fred Winner. He is a wood carver and he wanted to show us his latest project. He is carving a Puffin and you can see from the picture, he has done a wonderfully good job. Lou had a private showing of a black capped chickadee that he did some time ago, and Lou surprised me with it for a special gift. Fred had entered in a talent show and had won with it, so this is very special treasure for me. Not only that Fred is such a loving, gentle man, Lou and I have so much respect for him. I will have to take a picture of the bird and show all of you what a special gift this is.

Well tomorrow will be a busy day also and we will have to be up very early.
