Quick trip to Lancaster, Pa.

  Thursday and Friday my two sisters and my BF Shelia and I made a quick trip to Pa.

 We always seem to get

into some adventure on our trip. Well this year was no exception. We were riding down one of the roads

and saw a billboard sign to a play musical, called the "Confession". Based on a book by  Beverly Lewis.

Her books are about the Amish and are just wonderful!

 We all just started whinning about how if  we would have known beforehand about this play we would have

got tickets to attend. We went past this place called "Bird and Hand family restaurant", and on their

billboard was their sign advertising the musical being played there. My friend Shelia drove in the

parking lot and had to go in to get some information for maybe our next trip. Of course the tickets

were all sold out, but the lady at the ticket desk said " sorry ladies, all the tickets are sold out but

Beverly Lewis is here and if you wait around you may be able to see her. Well to our amazement,

we did get to see her and she was so sweet! We took some pictures with her and got her autograph.

 Another awesome memory. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. He He

If you haven't read any of Beverly Lewis books I highly recommend them, I have read several.

And there is even a movie on the Hallmark Channel, "The Shunning", which is based on one of her books.

Me, my sister Lina, Beverly Lewis, and my sister Lena. (Can you tell that Lina and Lena are twins).
