A Trip to Versailles

We took a drive out to Versailles this weekend to pick up some supplies. Our first stop was GVS. The boys loved that store! The boys each got to pick out a special bouncy ball and a balloon.

We picked up all the "necessities". Hair pins and clippies, stockings, suspenders, headscarves...And a few "fun" items as well, such as a quilting mat and a set of toy farm animals for the boys.

We bought a new guest book as well. (it was even on sale! :) )

After GVS we went to Weavers to pick up grocery supplies.


Shopping in Versailles is such a pleasant experience. I love the rural setting, but even moreso I enjoy being around likeminded people every where you go.

Here's what we purchased at our visit to Weavers:
* 50lbs Russet potatoes
* 50lbs white sugar
* 50lbs all purpose flour
* 50lbs wheat flour
* 10lbs light brown sugar
* 10lbs dark brown sugar
* 26lbs oatmeal
* strawberry rhubarb jam (I just couldn't resist!)
* 1 gallon syrup
* 1 gallon white vinegar
* popcorn oil
* 10lbs popcorn kernels
* a pie roller
* a box of half gallon canning jars
* big box of pretzels
* a peck of apples

We really enjoyed the drive through the winding dirt roads and countryside.


Once all of our shopping was done we went to Lehman's for supper. "I like this restaurant" Jacob said. We had a delicious meal of baked steak, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy. It was nice to visit with the ladies there.

After supper we headed off for the long drive home. We saw a gorgeous sunset. The sun looked like a huge orange ball hanging low in the sky. The picture doesn't begin to do it justice!


The boys were so excited about their "presents". What a wonderful day!

Our pantry is now well stocked. I can't wait to get in the kitchen and cook up something special for the boys. :)

With Love,
