Amazing Change

Today we drove up to Amish Country looking for, of course, bakery goods (yum) and other food items. Those of you that have had the opportunity to visit Amish Country know the trip well. We got tasty, fresh out of the cooker donuts and a few other baked goods. Then we ventured on to Mishler's Country Store for a few grocery items. On the way we noticed the Lilac Wood Shop was opened for business. What a thrill that was. We've missed them.

About a year and a half ago the Lilac Wood Shop burned to the ground. They have rebuilt a larger, nicer building and opened again in January. We browsed the store and found some new items. but mostly the same things they had before. We didn't find the big wooden spoons though. We walked around the shop and you'll never guess what we found right in the middle of the store. A modern, very nice, clean bathroom with a flush toilet. We were very surprised by that change but no more outhouse if ya gotta go.
