Address, please?

Such a problem to have!

4. Peruse the quilt shops on the back roads.

I like the California Innovations model with the removable wheels/handle cart.
LOL, that sounds similar to our trips, except we don't buy shoes or peruse the quilt shops.

It is wonderful! I really do suggest buying the reusable shopping bag. Mr. Kipper was not happy that I purchased yet another reusable shopping bag, but I convinced him that this one serves a purpose. It's smaller than your standard grocery store size bags, but I have one that's similar in size, and I use it for smaller items at the grocery store.

Be careful if you put those reusable shopping bags in a dark closet. They breed...

I know they do! I stored two in the hall closet a year ago, and months later, there were probably 15 of them!

Any hot shopping tips for this week in Lancaster County?

From our CSA box we've had all sorts of interesting greens lately (to the point where I never want to see another salad) and the veggies are slowly starting to come in - so we're good on greens but other produce would be worth bringing home. I've heard cherries are late this spring, so not available yet. Any seasonal meat or cheese stops to make this week? Special events for Thursday or Friday?

Roots Country Market is only on Tuesdays but worth a stop if you're going to be in the area then.

I don't know about Lancaster County, but right now, you can get very nice, fresh strawberries in York County.

Yeah, but who ever goes to York County? Kind of a desolate wasteland over there.

Isn't it though? I mean, York City only has 2 or 3 microbreweries, plus one or two others in York County, plus a nice beer bar or two.

You mean I've visited anywhere from half to 100% of the beer bars worth visiting in York County?
