Day 11 at Siesta Key (the Mennonites)

We are getting more comfortable with our surroundings every day. There’s a very nice lady here in the neighborhood who was telling us about some of the area "attractions". She mentioned a Mennonite neighborhood (which really seems out of place in this part of the country), but as I listened attentively, my brain was thinking "Good food"! Yesterday, when we were out and about, I remembered our conversation about the Mennonite neighborhood, so we set off in search of it. Down one of the busy thoroughfares, we saw a sign that said "Yoder's". YES! We found it! There are a couple of restaurants (we just had to stop and try one ~ delicious!), a quilt shop, Amish furniture store, and best of all ~ a WONDERFUL produce stand. A girl has to have a good produce stand! D had an appointment for an EKG (routine procedure) this morning, so when we were finished, we headed to the produce stand. I was in produce heaven ~ fresh fruits and veggies at good prices, fresh baked breads, Amish canned goods, Amish cheese, REAL butter, and on and on. I told D that I didn't know if I could have made here it for the next 2 months without the Mennonites. He said, "Mennonites to the rescue!" Funny!
