Weekend update

We did a quick trip yesterday afternoon to Reading and Ephrata.  It was a cold, but beautiful, clear day, so we took Destiny to the Pagoda.  Unfortunately, after we had climbed all those steps to get to the observation deck, we realized we didn't have any quarters for the telescopic viewer, but we still were able to pick out her apartment building and her school, among many other things.  It was so clear, and we could see so far, I almost thought we could see Philly in the one direction, State College in another, and Lancaster in the other, hahaha!




This is a picture Dick took when we were going down the steps.  At one level there was a sign on a door that there was a private party.  Wouldn't that be a cool place for a party?  One level has a little museum about the history of the pagoda.  

When we left there, we went to Destiny's great-uncle Danny's house, where Frank is doing some remodeling and painting on weekends.  We didn't stay there too long, because he was busy.

Of course we were hungry, and Destiny told us about Bojangles Famous Chicken and Biscuits.  We had never heard of it, but we went, and she was right.  The food was delicious - really, the biggest, tastiest biscuit I've ever had.  Destiny loved that fried chicken!   

After we said our goodbyes to her, we headed home by way of Ephrata to see Sammy.   We probably stayed for just a short, but very fun half hour.





We got home around 10 last evening.  

Today Dick had an unexpected opportunity.  A friend at Fillmore this morning was looking for someone to use his tickets to the Penn State/Nebraska wrestling match this afternoon.  I do not enjoy watching wrestling at all, so we tried to find someone to go with him, but no luck.  So he went alone, not that he cared! 

And I melted into the depths of my comfy sofa for a good, long, deep Sunday afternoon nap.  Ahhhh!!

I had a nice nap today too and said to Bob that there's nothing like a Sunday afternoon nap!
The Pagoda looks like a really great place to visit.
I always love seeing pictures of Sammy. :)

Ehat a neat place, that Pagoda! Lots of stairs though. Guess it's a workout =) Sammy is just so cute....love seeing his smiles! No Sunday naps here. We went to 2 open houses then came home to a house full of family. We had some good belly laughs....I just love hearing the kids having a good time together!

Have a wonderful week!
