Blogs from Berlin, Ohio, United States, North America

Got your slickers and galoshes on? It's raining today. Neither rain nor sleet nor snow will stop us where we want to go. We are headed to Berlin, Ohio today. So buckle up in your arm chair as we travel along on those crazy hilly paths again. There's a big celebration going on in Berlin today: their Fall Festival and huge Ribfest. Too bad....the rain tends to dampen the spirit but yet there are many folks strolling around this quaint and touristy town. Our destination was undercover: a mega Antique Mall. Sam seems to know the location of every antique shop and mall in every state. He's like a GPS set on "antiques." We wandered in and out of the many booths, drooling all the time. We did purchase a couple small trinkets. Lulu thought she ... read more

Monday morning, we had planned to go to Coshocton, OH, so that I could exercise at a Silver Sneakers location, Colonial Sports’n Courts. I’d recommend that location highly as the personnel were very helpful. They also had quite a large variety of equipment. I was able to do most of my routine and quit only because I was really tired and hot. There was no moving air in there. The drive was a bit farther than I thought to get there but we enjoyed the scenery on the way. Coming back, we stopped in the town of Pearl at Pearl Valley Cheese Factory and just had to get some to take with us. Then in the next town we came to, which was Baltic, there was an old mill that was converted to a bulk ... read more

Saturday morning, our hosts provided breakfast at the campground. There was fresh fruit, muffins, juice and coffee. There were four local chapters present so time had been set aside for chapters who wanted to hold meetings to do so. Then it was off to check out more of the area again before we gathered at The Farmstead Restaurant in Berlin again for a buffet Amish dinner. I guess I was more tired than I thought. It takes a lot of energy to have all this fun! At dinner I felt myself start to fade and did lose most of my energy. We came back to the motorhome and sadly, I was in for the evening. I also developed my MS earache which I get from time to time. I’m just so happy there is medicine that ... read more

Thursday morning, we headed out of the campground rather early for a nearby, large, indoor Amish Flea Market. It’s quite a place. We’ve been going to it for years and have always found something we just couldn’t live without. This is a ‘new’ merchandise type of flea market and not the type that sells garage sale items. After walking all thru the flea market, I wanted to go nowhere but back to our rig to rest. When we got back, we saw that a lot of others had arrived, so instead of just sitting around and resting, the day was spent visiting and catching up with friends who we hadn’t seen for a while. ... read more
