See you in Shipshewana!

I hop on a plane to Chicago a week from Friday, and from there, will begin the much anticipated Amish Country Tour! Until then, I know I'll be very busy writing as much as I can and getting organized for the big trip. Just yesterday, I ordered a whole bunch of pens to give away. It's going to be so much fun to gather everything together-and to see what I have forgotten!

When our kids were little, I used to get so worried that I'd forget something. My husband used to calm me down by saying, 'If we don't have it, we'll buy it'. Now that's kind of our travel joke. I'm always telling my husband things like, 'oh no, I forgot a new pair of shoes'. Seriously, I've forgotten all kinds of things over the years…from a bathing suit for a week-long cruise, to all my makeup on a weekend in the country. And that's just me! Our kids and my husband have forgotten toothbrushes, sweaters, books to read…pajamas.

I hope I don't forget anything too important, but you never know!

Here are some more tour dates, today for the Indiana leg of our trip:

Friday, November 11. 6:30 pm. Book signing at the South Bend, Indiana Barnes and Noble!

Saturday, November 12. 2:00-4:00 pm. Book signing at the Blue Gate Restaurant in Shipshewana,  6:00-8:00 Parade and tree lighting. : )

Today I am hosting my ladies' Bible study. I love any excuse to bake, so I just put two loaves of Chocolate chip Pumpkin Bread in the oven. Yum!

Thank you for stopping by! And, if you feel like writing a comment today, let me know what you've forgotten to pack! I could definitely use a smile today.

with blessings,

Shelley
