Celebrate the Small Things

I'm pleased to be part of Vikki's Celebrate the Small Things Blog Hop. Each week we post something that has happened in our lives - mostly to Celebrate.


 Today I'm definitely celebrating a four day mini-vacation with my son, Robert. 


Two of my daughters and myself drove to Lancaster, PA to spend a marvelous family time with Robert and his girlfriend, Carol. We dined at the Belvedere on a outside patio draped with exquisite floral arrangements. Had a brew at the Lancaster Brewing House. Walked endlessly. Had fun taking a ride on the Strasburg Railroad built in 1832, a path taken by Abraham Lincoln in life and death. 

Enjoying a beverage on the Strasburg!

    The best part of the trip must have been being with your son. The rest was icing on the cake. I'm happy for you.

      Hey, Debbie, my daughter and I look a lot alike. I'm a wee bit older though.

      Thanks for dropping by Father Dragon and Lizzy. Yes even short vacations are fun, and Lancaster is quaint with all the Amish in their buggys.

    Cute picture, Cathrina. I'm celebrating a visit with my daughter today. She asked me to stay with her in Ventura Beach for a few months in a luxury condo. No problem...
