Last weekend my husband and I took a trip to Pennsylvania. My husband's grandmother passed away on July 4th so we went back to attend her services and have a celebration of her 93 years of life. She was one of the most selfless people I have ever met. She was Italian and was an amazing cook. About four years ago, I got the opportunity to cook with her and learn some of her most delectable recipes. (And no, I will not be sharing any of them...if I did, I would probably be disowned by my husbands family). She will be missed....

While we were in Pennsylvania, my husband drove me around to see the Amish land...oh how I love taking a peek into their lives. Sometimes I think I was meant to be Amish....I mean I love little white farmhouses, I like gardening, I love hanging my laundry out to dry.... and I love their baked goods.....

We drove some more and I couldn't help myself from taking a picture of an Amish house...

Then on our last 2 days, we traveled to Pittsburgh, PA to meet up with some friends for dinner and of course I HAD to go to the Andy Warhol museum before catching our flight back home on Sunday. For years I have only dreamed of going to this museum...and finally I had my opportunity. I had to drag my husband as he is not a huge fan of pop art, but he cooperated and I think actually liked it a bit. We snuck a pic....

Oh I am from PA and this post made me miss it so much. The fireflies are amazing and I think of them often. I haven't been home in two years. Hopefully I will get to home soon! :)
