The last time I attended a Memorial Day Ceremony in my hometown of Lodi, Ohio, was probably when I was in High School marching band. That would have been over 30 years ago. I don't remember what I thought or felt at that time. I probably was hot and tired from marching up Bank Street with a trombone. I can almost guarantee that I didn't really understand the magnitude of what we were doing or who we were honoring. Fast forward 30 plus years and thanks to the addition of social media, I … [Read more...]

Scouts Making Memorial Day Memorable
Bobby, my husband and I are having a quiet weekend dog sitting. However, because he works at The Daily Record, he is always looking for stories that will interest the readers. He went to the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio, to capture Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts from around North East Ohio decorating the headstones with flags. I want to use this post to express my gratitude for the ultimate sacrifice men and women gave to protect our freedom. Thank you! … [Read more...]
Dor-Stop is a Must Stop When Visiting Pittsburgh
With the holiday weekend upon us and a quiet one planned in my corner of the world, I thought I would wrap up my blogs about our recent trip to Pittsburgh.

(By the way, if want to read about those events, you can click on the respective links.) One other place we stopped was at the Dor-Stop … [Read more...]
Basking in Wooster’s New Dunkin Donuts/Baskin-Robbins
I know what you're thinking, because I have thought it, too, but no, this is not becoming exclusively an ice cream blog. However, on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, the eagerly anticipated opening of the combined Dunkin Donuts/Baskin-Robbins finally occurred. I was super excited about Dunkin Donuts and on my way to work stopped for a donut. I didn't realize that I would be stopping by in the evening for ice cream. But hey, when my husband, Bobby, suggested we go, he didn't really have to twist my … [Read more...]
Cowhaus Creamery Flavors Know No Boundaries
Bobby, my husband, took Owney and me for a ride on a recent Friday night. He had heard about a new artisan ice cream shop, Cowhaus Creamery, that will be coming to Wooster, Ohio in the very near future. He decided that we needed to do some market research by going to see the original location in Oberlin, Ohio. I always like the idea of taking Owney for a ride, so it was no big deal for me to consider driving to Oberlin for ice cream. It is a nice drive from Wooster to Oberlin. I have only … [Read more...]
