Mannings

We went to another yarn store today - go figure! Judy, Jan and I went over to Mannings in East Berlin. It was raining all morning and the drive over there was really wet. We walked around Mannings, and yes, we bought some things because we still have some empty space in Jan's car.


After the shopping we couldn't get from the store to the car because of the rain. So we sat on the porch at Manning's where we waited for the rain to let up.





It was time for lunch and Judy took us to "Dobbin House" www.dobbinhouse.com . The restaurant is in an old building and we had a good lunch and it was fun to look around the building. There are old embroidered pictures on the wall,


and a place where in the old days the slaves were hidden away so they would be safe.



There is a lot of history in this building!




The restaurant was actually under ground and lit mostly by candles. The waitresses are dressed in period costumes and the menu is fun to read, because they had written it like you would expect it to be written a hundred years ago.





It was still raining when we left there, so we went back to Judy"s house where some of us took a nap and I knit. We had dinner at home, and then knit some more.
