Travel. Food. Fun.

Step Up and Walk With Me

By

Bobby and I don't have biological children. We do have 5 cats (now that we adopted Kirby) and 1 dog. But we also have 3 other children through Compassion International. Satish, Diane and Christian have been a great blessings in our lives. We have the opportunity to impact them now and for eternity through the ministry of Compassion. Just a few dollars each month can give them an education, health care, clean water, physical and spiritual nourishment. Now we have an chance to assist … [Read more...]

Mardi Gras Close to Home

By

Honestly, I've never really felt the desire to go to New Orleans. I have nothing against the city, its just not on my bucket list. But I do like listening to jazz music from time to time. I had my chance on Saturday when downtown Wooster was filled with jazz. The Wooster Arts Jazz Fest took over downtown Wooster despite the wind and the threat of rain. Bobby and I were able to go there with my mom, Dolores, and one of our great nephews, Noah. The event was put on in partnership … [Read more...]

Kirby, Our Newest Feline Family Member

I love cats…a lot.  Those who know me, are not surprised by this statement. We have four right now, but have had as many as seven. I know, I don't really need another cat. But my dad told me when I was a little girl, that when I grew up I could have all the darn animals I wanted. Well, tonight, I have brought home a new kitten.

In the meantime, here is a video of Anita Renfroe doing one of my favorites. I hope you … [Read more...]

Randi’s Note to Zombies: I Will Survive! (Hopefully)

By

Guest Blog by Randi Breese I like zombies. Well, I love the TV series the Walking Dead and generally any end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenario movies or shows. I'm so unlike my sister, Wendi, who likes butterflies, love stories and happy endings. But, since she knows my enthusiasm for them, she kindly bought me two tickets to Zombie Warfare for my birthday through Groupon. I encouraged her to purchase a 4-pack so she and Bobby, her husband, could come along, but she replied that zombies … [Read more...]
