nora day!

boys and dad off to Avett Brothers concert and camping (in the bitter cold!) and Mally off with friends so it's me and my "baby"!  She wanted to go to this neat old theater and see the local theater company put on the Rumple Stiltskin play so off we went...it was good and she loved it!  Photo op with the lead afterward!

pictures on iphone...not the best!

then we headed to an Amish community somewhat near and she took it all in...she was full of questions and conversation...it was a wonderful day with her!  She admired the way that they live and was so happy as we saw the horse and buggies and that they did a low wave as we passed.  She kept saying that she would love to live there because it's beautiful and had so many pretty open places.  A sweet man who sold us a pumpkin from his home talked with her and answered her questions and thought it was so sweet that she saw the beauty there.  I have been wanting to go for a drive through there like i did when I was young and no one in our family has shown a lot of interest...she did and was so happy that we did it!  Made it worth the wait!  She was my photographer!

 on way there...passed out!
