Wow, is it September already? This is always such a transitional month. It begins with summer still on our minds and ends with the temperature on the decline and the smell of autumn in the air. Not that we’re complaining. Ice cream tastes just as good in the fall as it does in the summer, doesn’t it? Well, maybe not quite as good, but you know what we mean.
Apparently most of you thought ice cream also tasted good on a deserted island, because in last month’s poll, 64 percent of you chose a solar powered freezer and 100 gallons of ice cream as the item you’d most like to be stranded on an island with. Ice cream easily beat out comforts such as an industrial strength tent (14 percent), a library of your favorite books (13 percent) and a family photo album (3 percent…sorry mom!).
This month’s poll (on the right) isn’t about barren Pacific islands. In fact, it’s about a little oasis we like to call Lancaster County. We want to know if you’ve ever visited our neck of the woods and, if you haven’t, when we can expect to see you!

Lancaster County………….. LOVE it!! We try to get into the area as much as possible to visit. We are refered to as the “city folks” by all of our relatives. The entire one side of the family lives out that way. Our hope is to relocate into the area at some time. Would love for it to be SOON!
My Dad remembers visiting Lancaster when he was in boot camp 50 years ago. He said the food was wonderful. Now, we’ve been delighted to call Lancaster County home for over 15 years.
We’re just a few miles from Turkey Hill and have done the hike around it a few times. Last time we were at the overlook, we saw an eagle fly by at eye level. We also know many Turkey Hill employees, and they are great people. Turkey Hill’s a wonderful neighbor.
My husband and I love the Lancaster area. We have celebrated our last 9 wedding anniversaries there. We love the people, the food and the scenery. We live in the Niagara Falls area of New York state, which also has wonderful people, food and of course one of the most breathtaking sights in the world. I recommend a visit to the falls also.
I have fond memories of Lancaster’s fantastic Amish Market. The food variety was wonderful as well as delicious. Hope I can return sometime.
I used to live about a mile from Turkey Hill Dairy. Now I live about 3 miles away.When my kids were small we used to walk up to the dairy and watch the calves being born. Then we would go back home to a snack of Turkey Hill ice cream. AAAAHH,memories!
I have visited Lancaster many times. It is one of my families favorite weekend spots. We live close enough to be able to enjoy the day or the weekend and still be home early enough to finish our household chores before the work week begins once again!
We consider Lancaster our “second home.”
Our visits are frequent and most enjoyable. We love to wonder the back roads and sort of go back in time when life was much simplier and less hurried.
We are continuing a tradition with our grandson that started with our son, taking him along with us to appreciate the beautiful countryside.
Our family decided that they would be happy to live in Annville if the opportunity every presented itself. We love your area!
Love the country down your way. it is beautiful there as it is here in Central, Pa.!
I used to visit Lancaster County every year when my son was young and in the Cub Scouts and my husband and I were Scout leaders. My son was about 10 years old and younger then. He is now 45 years. That is how long ago we went. We loved the trip and had a good time while there. Now I am not able to go because both my husband and me are physically handicapped. If it wasn’t for that, we would be enjoying the trip with our grandchildren.
