Country & City...Rural Thursday

Out in the country we're used to seeing signs like this...


 My husband and I recently took a trip to Pennsylvania and as we crossed into the state I couldn't help but snap a photo of the signs that greeted us...


Yay!!! We made it!


What?! 
Funny, huh?

But it is a good warning and true! 
We're not used to driving in city traffic. You know, just a couple of country bumpkins come to see the big city :) 
But my husband and I had a lovely time exploring Philadelphia... 


Independence Hall was spectacular to see!
I can honestly say though, that we were SO glad to go here...


This is the view from Country View B&B in Kinzers, PA, where we stayed a couple of days to explore the Amish and Mennonite country in Lancaster County.

Oh, I want to go back soon!!! It is so beautiful. The farmland is gorgeous beyond words and the folks were so nice. If you are going to the area and need a lovely place to stay for the most affordable rates, check out this B&B. It's run by Eli & Barbara Smucker, a sweet Mennonite couple. They made us feel so welcome, and she is a wonderful cook! 


Here's a little Amish humor for ya'...

You know you're a tourist when you drive slower than a buggy!

Images are mine. Please don't take them without asking. Not that anyone would want them. I'm just sayin'. 

I'm linked with Rural Thursday.

Trailer Tuesday ~ Inescapable



Lizzie Engel left Kingdom, Kansas, and her Conservative Mennonite faith five years ago, fleeing abuse and rejection aimed at her when she became pregnant with her daughter, Charity. However, when a strange man begins to hang around outside her apartment building in Kansas City and she receives several odd, threatening messages, she begins to fear for their safety. When an untrue accusation of theft causes her to lose her job, she has no choice but to return to the small Mennonite town. Unfortunately, evil follows her, and she will have to face a storm of lies, deceit and murder as a winter blizzard rages around her and the residents of Kingdom.

I recently won a copy Inescapable by Nancy Mehl so I thought I'd post the trailer for y'all to enjoy.



Have you read any Suspense/Mennonite books? If so, would you leave a comment with some recommendations? Thanks!
