It is no fun being housebound
all winter, so we find things to do
away from home.
Last week my sister arranged
for us and my other sisters to see
a play at the Whitaker Center in
Harrisburg. The Center itself is
worth seeing with an I MAX the
ater, a science center, and Suno
co Performance Theater. But, we
went to see “Milton Hershey-The
Play.” In three acts and 18
scenes, it portrayed the ups and
downs in the life of the founder
of Hershey, Pa. It was a dramatic
play that pleased a larger audi
ence on a Thursday morning.

Tuesday evening of the same
week we attended the 37th annu

Home Foundation of Lancaster
County. Many years ago my hus

My forefathers picked a good
place to settle as Lancaster
County is ranked first agricultu
rally in the United States among
non-irrigated counties. For many

years, its annual gross income of
more than 938 million dollars
places it first in Pennsylvania.
Several people visited us to
“pick my mind” regarding hap
penings long ago. However, I
think they may be disappointed
as I do not recall some things
such as “Where was the brake on
my grandfather’s Conestoga
wagon?”
Due to the weather, our
daughter and her son from New
Jersey could not visit us as
planned, and so we ended the
week with a travelogue on “Can
ada’s National Parks.”
