Amish breakfast

Today was an awesome day. I woke up around 6am and knew today was going to be grand. My best friend Sherry invited myself and 10 other friends to join her in an Amish breakfast. We all met at Sherry's house and drove about 20 minutes south into Amish country. It was a beautiful, sunny, picture perfect day. Mrs. Wickey's house is absoutely gorgeous. She has a phenomenal yard with gorgeous flowers and pottery everywhere. Their horses were just standing by the back door, greeting us as we walked up to the old farmhouse. The interior of Mrs. Wickey's house is just as fabulous as the outside. She has beautiful oak cabinetry everywhere and the floors were so shiney and spotless you could practically see yourself in them. The smell as you walked up to their house was wonderful. We were escorted into the large kitchen and there was a buffet table set up with the most delicious selection of breaksfast foods I have ever seen. We had homemade, warm, fresh from the oven, cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls. We sampled fresh bacon and smoked ham. Fresh fruit of every kind was served on beautiful heirloom platters. Fried potatoes and eggs and pancakes and waffles and on and on.....The fellowship and friendship continued for almost 3 hours. What a wonderful way to start a gorgeous day. We eventually made our way back to Sherry's house for more coffee and girl talk. It was just so much fun. It is something I donot get to do very often. Sherry and I have been friends for almost 35 years and we rarely see or talk to each other, but whenever we reconnect it is like we never left each others side. I love her like a sister and can do or say anything in front of her and never have a fear of it ever being repeated or of me being made fun of. She has a heart of gold!
Well, came hme from girls day out and got groceries and spent the remainder of the day with hubby, chatting, watching tv and just hanging out together.
Now it is almost 8:30 pm and I really need to study. I want to take my musculoskeletal exam on Monday so that I may start the transcription. I guess enough blogging, time to study for a bit. TTYL
