View Lancaster County from a balloon

Notice our shadow and off in the distance is Sight and Sound Theater.

we had our own family, fan club. They even followed us on the road for a while.

if you look closely you may be able to see the Amish man and his son who took time away from chores to check us out.
My dad bid for a ticket for a hot air balloon ride at a benefit auction and I was the lucky one to go with him. It was a windy October afternoon clear skies, a little chilly which we promptly forgot about once we were in the air.



We were the only local folks, with fellow travelers from Baltimore and New York.There's nothing like a view from the air to remind me that we really do live in a place that God has blessed with unusual beauty.As we glided over Amish farms, residential areas and schools, it became very clear that we all have something in common, A balloon flying overhead brings out the kid in all of us.People came from their barns, houses , or stopped what they were doing in the back yard for a few minutes to wave or shout a greeting.



It was a one of a kind experience and one that I will do again when the opportunity comes . www.balloonridesdaily.com Now if I can only figure out how to share the pictures with you , we'll be in good shape.

News Inn my life

Come in and rest awhile

Ok, everyone, this is a stretch for me. So far in my life I have been strictly an observer in the Blogging world.The time has come to change that , believe me it is WAY out of my comfort zone. As a result of that you will be happy to know that this first one will be very short. Enjoy it while it lasts because from here on out it could get lengthy.

Ever since I can remember,innkeeping was a dream of mine.For a long time it was only a thought in the back of my mind. In 2004 that dream became a reality when God put the opportunity right at my doorstep.The best thing about innkeeping is the PEOPLE!! I have no regrets about doing exactly this!

No matter if you live next door or miles away, A getaway at Ellmaker House is always refreshing. visit http://www.ellmakerhouse.com/ and make your reservation today. I'll be waiting to hear from you.
