When my niece, Ashley, told me that my great-nephew, Noah, was having a Special Person day at his school and that he wanted me and Uncle Bobby, my husband, to come, I was thrilled. Bobby and I never had the opportunity to attend anything like this for any of our nieces or nephews when they were growing up. The closest I got was attending Candy Bar Bingo at our niece Courtney's, school in New Hampshire. Bobby and I took the day off to drive the 2 hours to go to Montrose Elementary School … [Read more...]
Daring to Dive on Cedar Point’s Newest Coaster
I have always loved roller coasters. The anticipation climbing the first hill to the exhilarating feeling on the descent to the twisting turns and loops and then the final screeching halt right before returning to the launching platform. They all get me. Even the worst roller coaster is still pretty good (just like pizza.)

Valravn VIP Media Event at Cedar Point Stirs Memories
There are a whole lot of reasons why I wanted to start a blog. What is surprising to me are the benefits of having a blog.

I am the type of person who can watch a movie over and over and enjoy it as much as I did the first time. Maybe even more. My husband, Bobby, is not like that. He doesn't usually watch a movie a second time, let alone over and over. The one exception is the movie Jack Reacher. We both really like that movie. (Blog continues below photos.) So when we decided to make a trip to Pittsburgh on Saturday, April 23, 2016 we knew we had to visit some of the sites where the movie was filmed. (As an … [Read more...]
Nadine’s: Small Space, Huge Tastes in Pittsburgh
When my husband, Bobby, suggested we go to Pittsburgh for the day on Saturday, April 23, 2016, one of the first things we did was search Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. That is our style. We want to check out area restaurants that Guy Fieri has already been to. (We also like to see where Michael Symon goes. His show is Burgers, Brew and 'Que.) For our trip to Pittsburgh, we had five options to choose from. We decided that we would at least have to try Nadine's Bar and Restaurant which is on the … [Read more...]
