You have to try Bauman’s on Hoffmansville Road in Sassamansville PA.
My grandfather loved apple butter.
What's the old saying? "You don't know $#!# from apple butter!" I think my grammpa said this at one time or another.

That's my childhood introduction to the art world... My world now which I love. Oh I loved to play that board game as a kid. Lost & Found in Cleveland is the holiday movie that will inspire your family to look more closely at family heirlooms and cool vintage stuff. Streaming soon. A must-see film. Oh, and that PhD appraiser played by Martin Sheen... who do you think that character is based on? Go ahead guess! ... See MoreSee Less

More shopping…I didn’t buy, I walked by. ... See MoreSee Less
I always get my clothes too big. I feel like I am in a straight jacket , if something is too tight.I think the shell one did not look too bad. You could always have put a white button down shirt underneath to dress it up:)
You look great! I like the shell one, just smaller & the sleeveless on it's own or layered. When I finally lost 50lbs, I still picked/ordered the same size. It's hard to look at a smaller size & realize that it fits.
Love the blue top - you're looking great!
Skinny woman. You get smaller every time I see you. Looking good.
I like big sweatshirts
Turn sideways, we won't be able to see you. Looking fabulous
You look great , 👍 wow 🤩
But I liked the blue one
I like that green jacket you had on the other day. 💚
The ivory is nice blue too.
I wear larger sweaters they are comfortable
You look beautiful! Good for you! ❤️ I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life and I would love to find something too big 😱
The white looks great color wise but hits less than flattering but color and style looks great
No to all three. There are so many things you look fabulous in, just not any of those, sorry.
I like them all!
Shell
I would rather have a root canal without novocaine than go clothes shopping! 😒😞☹️
The tank top actually looks best! Pair it with a denim jacket or black cardigan. You look fantastic!
You look great 👍
U honestly look great in all of them. But 2 and 3 maybe wins
The shell sweater in a smaller size might look nice - that style might also just be baggy (in that case - no)! I do like the beige tank top, maybe with a lightweight jacket?
I like them all on you keep up the good work 
Love the ivory. Jazz it up with a denim jacket.
The shell with a black jacket.
The one matches your phone case.
