385 Crosswinds Drive, Lititz, PA Sold The 2 bedroom townhouse in the Crosswinds Development sold on June 21, 2011. This property was on the market for 32 days and settled in 60 days, selling for 99% of list price. The sold price was $148,000. I am pictured with the former owner who will be settling into a new place in a few weeks. We are both smiling because of this successful transaction. If you would like to learn how I can help you achieve the same results, please contact me.

Looking for a tasty treat in Lititz, PA? Try the Tomato Pie Cafe. After I was showed houses today in the Lititz area with a buyer, I looked for a place to grab a cup of soup or lite snack as I often do. I stopped at the Tomato Pie Café at 23 N Broad street across from Lititz Springs Park.  It's located at the former Glassmyer's restaurant and reminds you of a little whistle-stop cafe. After viewing the menu of salads and sandwiches, I decided to sample their specialty - The Tomato Pie. It was stuffed with tomatoes on a light  fluffy pastry crust with a smattering of cheese and served with a small salad. Delicious and highly recommended if you like tomatoes of course. A variety of smoothies, teas, and coffees are also available.  The baked goods are from the Lititz Family Cupboard. Also ...

I have been showing homes in Lititz over the past few weeks. The older homes are similar with bay windows, wrap around porches, large garages - some with room to park one or more cars.  I do love Lititz - Lititz Springs Park, the shops on Main, Wilbur chocolate... Today I stopped by the General Sutter Inn for a cup of soup. Located at the corner of Broad & Main Streets, the Sutter Inn has been a Hotel/Inn since 1764. The spiced chicken corn soup was served good and hot and a little spicy - cream based with corn, chicken, pepper, and some bits of carrot, too.  The pear, walnut & spinach salad was light, crunchy and served with a light celery dressing.       The dining room was full and so was the adjacent Bulls Head Pub, which serves craft beers and fodd as well. The Bulls Head Pub offer...

The Beauty of a Backyard Butterfly Bush It is amazing to me how often I miss the beauty of God's creation in my own backyard. Too often we plan for the once in a lifetime trip to a far and exotic land. We dream of capturing the wonderous sunset, hearing the steady beating of the waves to the shoreline, or simply basking in a place we picture as paradise. However, I have recently realized that below my own nose was the beauty of a Butterfly Bush. It has been drawing the attention of multitudes of butterflys. Right here in Lititz, PA I realize there is beauty. Can I see it? Can I smell it? What does it take for me to simply pause and say, "God, thank-you for the wonder of creation which surrounds me.   Each year I trim the Butterfly Bush which is in my backyard to about 4 feet. Each year ...

Night Life in Lititz, PA This was the full moon after the rain storm. I was amazed and realized it does not get better than this. I enjoyed the night coolness and was awe inspired by its beauty. Take some time today to give thanks for the beauty of God's creation. Give thanks for the persons who have blessed your life. Enjoy your own night life in the backyard with those you love. It really does not get better than this.

Memories The picture of the weeping blossoming cherry tree symbolizes the changes I have experienced over the past 13 years. Recently I turned 49 and I began to reflect on my life and the changes I have experienced over these years. This weeping blossoming cherry tree was given to my family and me as a gift by members of our Sunday School class. We were leaving one congregation in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania or more exactly, in Souderton, PA and moving to Lancaster County, PA to begin a pastorate in a Leola, PA congregation. The tree was about three feet tall and came with money attached to the small tree limbs. It was really a neat gift and we appreciated it. In those thirteen years, our children have gone from teenagers and children to young adults. Our children are 26, 24 and 21...

I earlier blogged about our ficus tree returning to the deck hoping for some revitalization and renewal. I decided to further explore how to best care for this tree. I learned much at this site. There were things I intuitively understood, but which were confirmed. Having as much natural light is necessary for the ficus tree. During the winters in PA it is somewhat difficult to provide that light. Has anyone ever used other lighting means over the winter to help provide more light for the ficus tree? Was it successful? Another thing I learned which is important is to not water the tree with water treated by chemicals. Our tap water which has been the means of water is part of the problem over the winter. I will need to get other water during the next season of our ficus tree's indoor li...

Sauder Egg Run Lititz, PA 17543 Today I ran the Sauder Egg run in Lititz, PA. I had anticipated a sunny and warm morning, but was greeted with a cloudy and overcast day. However, it was perfect for running a race. I arrived later than I wanted, but was finally able to get registered for the race about 15 minutes before its beginning. I was anticipating this race to see how much, if any I would improve since I ran the Jingle Bell Run in December. In that race I ran an average of 8:20 miles. My goal for this race was to break 40 minutes or below an 8 minute mile average. It had been several years since I had run this race in Lititz, PA. Lititz has three races during the year beginning with the Sauder Egg Run, followed by the Freshburst run in July, and the Pretzel Twist in September. The ...

This weekend I took the boys to a show they had been begging me to go to.  What was it?  A Truck Show!  Not just any truck show, but a Mack Truck Show held in Lititz PA (Brunnerville, to be exact) at the facility of the Gerhart Equipment Company.  There were LOTS of trucks there... Big trucks, small trucks (not too many of those though), dump trucks, tow trucks...trucks! My oldest son has been reading about trucks and could name most of the models.  It was definitely not my cup of tea... The Gerhart Truck Show is apparently one of the biggest truck shows in Lancaster County annually (it's the only one that I know of, actually)... There was a bluegrass band and food (of course), with proceeds going to the Brunnerville Fire Company, who had a lot of volunteers there doing a great job. Did...

One of the most pleasant and historic towns in Lancaster County is the borough of Lititz, PA, founded by the Moravians in 1756.  Besides the wonderfully preserved architectural heritage and rich history, there are well-tended parks and green areas which add to the quality of life. Linear Park is one such area.  Running between Market Street and Brookview Drive, it symbolically connects the historic town with the modern surrounding suburbs.                              Children have plenty of available activities, while the paved walking trails are ideal for cyclists and joggers. A wide variety of scenery passes by in the relatively narrow park.  Here a brook cuts through a wooded area.                                                                                                    A b...
