A New Adventure

It has been a little over a week since I moved to Pottstown. I have definitely learned somethings about the north and Pottstown.

Things I have learned:
1. There is a major lack of sweet tea up here. However, I quickly used my smarts and realized I can make sweet tea! So I made some sweet tea and Matt contributed some lavender to the mixture which gives a nice interesting flare to the tea.
2. The boys in Pottstown have an interesting way about them. After 2 nights at a local bar I realized all the guys here dress quite thuggish, smoke and have tattoos. Lucky for me I am not looking for a guy in this town!
3. People don't dress up like they do down in Charlottesville! What do I care though! I'm embracing my southern qualities and wearing my sundresses whenever I get a chance.
4. Amish children (to be referred to from now on as Amlets!) are absolutely adorable! I almost want to become amish just so I can have an amlet! While driving to the Shady Maple Smorgasboard we saw horse and buggy and horse drawn tractors. The view was PHENOMINAL!!! The mountains with the sun splitting the clouds on the way there and on the way back the variety of colors in the sky were breath taking!
5. Amish make great food. I currently have in my kitchen peach bread, raspberry bread and apple cinnamin bread. I quickly realized though my home does not have a toaster. But I'm thinking french toast would be great with it!
6. I am a pretty good fisherwoman. Went for the first time yesterday and caught two fish. I was bummed when Matt caught 3! I guess I am a hunter after all and I can't hide my competitive nature.

I will find a theme in my blogs. I will learn how to format them. But for now this is what I have to say! This is directed towards Christina and Anne. I will start carrying a camera and make it more interesting. For now I'm out of here...it is raining and it's movie night for Matt and I.
