Another 1/2 Day of Vacation!

Gary worked till noon today and then we headed to Arthur, Illinois. It is a well known Amish area and one of my favorite places to visit, especially in the fall. It was a beautiful day here and the fall colors are still gorgeous. We stopped at several Amish stores and enjoyed seeing all the horse and buggies on the roads. The Amish are not to allow their pictures to be taken. Today I ask two young children if I could take a picture of their pony and they said, "yes as soon as we are out of the way". On our way back to Bloomington we drove through Bement and Monticello, where we had lived 30 years ago. It was a really fun day.
