Mom came to visit

I took Mom to Amish Country. We started our day by visiting Orrville and the Smuckers store.After that we went to Kidron and went to Lehmans...a store that has everything for the Amish and those that are Amish-at-heart. Mom is Amish-at-heart. I think we spent around two hours just walking around, checking everything out. We also were surrounded by a lot of Amish people. I was lucky and got hear stories from Mom about when she was growing up and used many things that you could buy in Lehmans.
Then we went to the Ashery and looked at all the bulk food they had. And then Heini's Cheese Chalet. Above is a photo of Mom and some cheeses. We took a tour and saw how they make cheese and then we got to sample many different types of freshly made cheeses. Mom even bought some to take home with her.
Mom visited other stores once we got to Berlin. I believe that Mom had a great time visiting Amish country for the first time. She also got really good at taking pictures from the vehicle while I was driving. I really liked this one, probably because I also like reading and if I can figure out how to do it while working, I will.
I also took Mom to see the Root Candle Company. We had a great time learning new things about Ohio. I'm so glad she was able to come and visit.
