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. We went to support a couple who own Cuckoos Nest Magic Shop. We also rode the Duquesne Incline, checked out some of the sites where they filmed Jack Reacher and ate a late lunch at Nadine's. (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...]
Band of Brothers See Dream Theater, Yet Again
Shawn LaDouceur has been a good friend since we met at Daytona Beach Community College, probably in 1988. Though much younger, he has had an impact on me. His influence helped me decide to become a Christian, and he introduced me to my favorite band of all time, Dream Theater. Shawn had been attending Cincinnati Bible College in the 1992-93 academic year, and when he came home in the summer of 1993, one of the first things he did was to play "Pull Me Under" from the first Dream Theater … [Read more...]
I’m Someone Special at Special Person Day
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 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.) However, when I ride a really good coaster, the feeling lasts a little longer and I enjoy reliving it with friends. This is exactly what happened when I was able to be … [Read more...]
Steak ‘n Shake Raises Stakes in Burger Game
It seems I have always been generally aware of Steak 'n Shake, and I know a lot of people who like the restaurant. The couple of times I ate there, I was never really impressed. It was years ago before chefs raised the level of burgers to an art form. However, a friend of mine, Frank Yost, loves the place and posts photos on Facebook whenever he eats there or stops in for a happy hour milkshake. With that in mind, I asked Wendi if she wanted to stop there for lunch on our way to Columbus. We … [Read more...]
