Yesterday Autmn and I spent the morning in Smicksburg.  Even thought it was cool and cloudy, we still had fun!  We stopped first at Smicksburg Country Store, where Donna (the proprietor) helped Autmn with her list of  cheeses for her, her dad, and her sister.

From there we went to the Chocolate Shoppe – and got the BEST chocolate-covered peanuts in the USA!  Yum!  We also got non-perils and a huge slab of bulk Premium Milk Chocolate.  This will be melted down in pieces for my Easter projects:  Peanut-butter pretzel nuggets, Oreos, and Ritz crackers spread with Peter Pan.  That will be NEXT weekend’s project!

With our major chores done, we parked over by the post office and walked around town, peeking in all the shops and seeing the unique and interesting crafts and décor.  We both saw tons of things we just HAD to have, but ended up just choosing a few small things to bring home.  Even left some  Letters to Mary postcards in one of the shops with a sales clerk whose brother is a Civil War buff.  Autmn made friends with the resident cat in The Drying Shed (by far my favorite shop!) and the cat liked the attention, as well.

We stopped in Indiana on the way home, grabbed McDonalds for Autmn’s lunch, and hung out there for a while.  All in all it was a great day, and we both enjoyed the company and the window shopping.  Such a great way to spend a Saturday – with people you love!
