Have you seen this summer list on the city, good stuff.

After our time in 'da Burgh, our family has spent the past 9 or so months adjusting to life back in Lancaster County.  There is much the same, yet much different about getting to know our neighbors across fields and a highly trafficked road (trash trucks going to a landfill with hotly contested expansion plans).  It is a joy to see kids running across the grass to their grandparents and have the opportunity to cross the road for times with extended family and other neighbors.  Last weekend Hayley and Ellen spent time with their visiting cousins and a neighbor, capped off by a neighborhood socials.  What a blessing to have a community which celebrates birthdays, Christmas, sledding, and 19 cent a lbs bananas (at the veggie/fruit distributor's store across the road).  Quite a unique transition as we reacquaint ourselves with friends/family and an area which has changed a lot since we've been gone (Amish have moved into the neighorhood, developments going up overtop many fields, and road expansions on the horizon).
