Jonah & The Red Caboose Motel

My hubby and I went to Lancaster PA for an overnight
with several couples and friends from our church.
We had tickets to see Jonah at Sight and Sound.
It was so great. I could not even imagine how they
were going to do the whale. I was not disappointed.
I won't give any details as not to spoil it for those
who will be going to see it.

We stayed at a neat motel call The Red Caboose Motel.

It is actual train cars made into motel rooms.

Ours was so nice. I understand each train car is

decorated in a theme.  Ours was Philadelphia

Eagles Football.  My brother-in-law would have

loved it.

Here are a few photos:

You can see from this aerial post card all the train cars
lined up.

Here's our room living room area.
It was like a little house
inside a train car.

Here's our bedroom area.

Here's our shower.

  And our hot tub bath.

Here are some of the
train car rooms.

Here's my hubby standing on the
stairwell to our train car.

Here I am under the railroad sign.

They have a large gift shop

that is everything trains &

Amish.

Inside the gift shop is a huge
train set - so darling

It even has a mountain and skiing

Gondola's heading up the mountain.
Can you see them?



Here's the old conductor

in the gift shop.

Had to grab a photo

of him.

Here I am bright an early

heading into the dining car.



Here's my hubby in the dining car.

We had a delicious breakfast.

Just outside the window you can see

for miles farm after farm.

And as we ate we saw several Amish

families going by in their buggies.



Love it out in Lancaster.

They are bold in sharing

their faith !

Easter 2012 Happy Resurrection Day !

Hubby and I at church.

We spent Easter with my in-laws.

Delicious ham, pasta,  Yalanchi Sarma - stuffed grape leaves

My mother-in-law Mary makes these so delicious.

She also made this soup called Monte

Oh I love this soup.

Homemade Easter bread

I made a carrot souffle.
It turned out pretty good.

We play the traditional Armenian Easter

Egg fight. It is such fun.

Here is a photo of it being played I found

on the internet.

My husband won this year

 Taylor his little cousin had a blast
cracking his Dad's egg. hah


Pretty flowers my hubby gave me for Easter

So thankful for this !

And finally . . .

Saddened to hear of the passing of Thomas Kincaid.

Really loved his work.

It was a blessed day !

Dead Sea Scroll Exhibit

Hubby got us tickets to the Dead Sea Scroll Exhibit in NYC.

We had a blast. WOW so interesting.

Here I am outside the exhibit.

It was so neat to see the actual scrolls. I could not get over how
neat the folks handwriting was.
Of course I couldn't read a word of it but it was still so interesting.

We watched a movie about how they found the scrolls and
how they ended up in Israel. 

We were not allowed to take photos

I got these off the Internet.

So much pottery.
Amazing how they pieced them
back together.

 This was an alter they found to

burn incense in direct disobedience

to what God said to only burn incense

in the temple. 

These were used to hold

the bones of deceased

family members.

You go from room to room
and it is all marked and
explained. Very well done.


This was my favorite thing.
The coin of Caesar.
Reminded me of Jesus saying,
 “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and
to God what is God’s.” Mark 12:16-17

We purchased this great book and little pottery jar

to remind us of all we learned and our day.
