SMART Muster in Kinzers, PA

July 23rd -  Wednesday - Beautiful Sunny 75 degrees

We left here early on Wednesday morning and made a detour to get to Carlisle to pick up our three months supply of medication and then drove on over to Lancaster.  Traffic was really dense and we did not reach our destination until after 5:00 pm.  We literately just parked our motor home on our designated site and went to our host's site to have dinner with our group.  The weather was just wonderful for our stay, in fact, a sweater felt good.  After dinner we sat around and caught up on the news with the rest of our group of retired servicemen and their families, then we went back to our motor home and got things unpacked before it got dark.

When I took Maci out for a potty break, I realized this was not a military park, as it was really dark, and I was glad for my leash with the attached flashlight.

We brought along a Netflex movie, Woman in Gold and we watched that on  Wednesday evening.  We both enjoyed it.  Would recommend it to anyone that has not seen it. On Thursday I really goofed off and enjoyed reading my book.  I have been very involved in a Lighthouse mystery that has been over 3000 pages long and I wanted to get it finished and I did just before we went out to dinner at Millers.  Our whole group enjoyed a lovely Smorgasbord meal there.  It is right on route 30 and you can eat your meal and watch the Amish farmers work in their fields at the same time.  They were actively cutting hay at the time.

 The campground was right next to Rough and Tumble and they were hosting John Deer Days on Friday and Saturday, and Lou and I being country folks took in the exhibits on Friday.  In fact, we spent about four hours there.

A few of the John Deere tractors.

The first known hot water heater

Notice the gas lamps hanging from the ceiling.

Natural gas pump that came from western PA.

Sleigh used to deliver mail.

Old washing machines

No ones knows what this wagon was used for!!

Instead of a sand box, this is a kernel corn box.

On Friday evening we went to Rainbow's Comedy Playhouse for dinner and the stage show.  Lou and I had never been there before.  It was a good dinner and the play of "Too Many Cooks" was wonderful.  We were amazed to find that our waiters were the actors in the play and they did a wonderful job.  We had wonderful seats, center front, thanks, to one of our members that was kind enough to make reservations for all of us.  Lou and I both ordered Beef Wellington and it was very tasty, the beef was very tender and served hot.  Our salad dressing was creamy apple and that was tangy and a nice change.  All in all this was a very nice mid week Muster.  It was decided that we would not have one in August, everyone seems to be very busy in the upcoming month.  Lou and I will be setting off for our square dancing campout at the end of August.
