As Janie's plane landed, the sun which had been absent for a couple of days, peaked out from behind a bank of clouds. By the time I picked Janie and her luggage up, the day was sunny, making the few remaining golden and russet leaves shimmer from their branches. We did so much during her visit!
Friday we ate at a Thai Restaurant called Spice and then visited Rees Harps in Rising Sun, Indiana.

Saturday, after crossing the river into Ohio, I tookJanie to Simply Scrapbooks in Kettering. We had lunch at The Pub. I was driving so these are her pictures.

Monday I got to introduce Janie to my friend Charlene. We had an Italian lunch and then did a little shopping at Archiver's. I was sure that they would hit it off, and they did! Janie and I also went to Scrap Your Art out and Scrap, Paper Scissors!
Tuesday we started heading towards Pennsylvania, and stopped overnight in Berlin, in Ohio's Amish country. Our stop there was far too brief, I'm already planning on a longer visit.

| We stopped at the Hershberger's Farm and the adjacent Bakery and Produce shop to buy preserves, cheese and some baked goods! |

To top it off, we got a goody bag from Julie that included amongst other things, a cute mini menu of everything Jen served us over the four days we were there. |

We drove back in pouring rain and terrible winds, only to get back to a tornado watch and a terrible thunder storm, worthy of the best storms in Tampa! Janie missed Dancing with the Stars because of a power failure, but other than a few items that got thrown around on the porch, everything was just fine!
Finally, the day before Janie had to leave again, we went to Burlington, Kentucky to visit one of the cabins built when Kentucky was being settled and to munch at the Towsey House Tavern.

| This early pioneer cabin is now a quilt store, full of beautiful fabrics! |
