Engage Virtual Range: Top Notch Training and Fun

By

I heard of Engage Virtual Range in January 2020. I had stumbled across an advertisement of a couple's date idea for valentine's day. I was intrigued. I'm always looking for new and different things to try. Plus, deep in my core, I believe that being able to handle a firearm is important (or at least it is to me). It didn't work out for Bobby, my husband and I for valentine's day, so I put it on the back burner. That is until my birthday week. I talked my sister, Randi, and my brother-in-law, … [Read more...]

Celebrating our 25th at the Olde Jaol Steakhouse

By

My husband, Bobby, and I have been married for 25 years! I know, it's hard to believe that it could be that long since we look so young, but it has. I had thought that on our anniversary, we would be able to spend the day together... alone...away from the house and computers. However, due to circumstances, we couldn't take the day off. Instead we decided that we would celebrate by enjoying a night out on the town. My initial thought was that we would go to CW Burgerstein, in the basement of … [Read more...]

Fog Can’t Stop The Music on the Steamboat Natchez

By

When my husband, Bobby, and I were going to New Orleans, I knew that we had to hear live music. I mean seriously, New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz music and Louis Armstrong. The only question was where we would listen to it. I don't think Bobby would have minded if we ended up in some club on Bourbon Street, but that really isn't my type of thing. Instead I talked him into going on a riverboat cruise that also had a live band. Well, actually, it was Bob Adamov who told Bobby we needed to go … [Read more...]

The French Quarter on a Saturday Night Minus Bourbon Street

By

We are beginning of our fourth day in New Orleans. Much of my husband, Bobby's, time has been working at the CAMEX convention, which is why we are here in the first place. However, we have had our evenings free to explore the city. On Saturday night we decided, or more to the point, Bobby decided we should go to the Napoleon House for dinner. The Napoleon House is in the French Quarter. Let me step back here for a minute. It is February in New Orleans. Based on what one of our drivers for … [Read more...]

Kozmo’s Grille: In My Mind I’m Already There

By

Before I moved to Wooster I never gave much thought to Massillon, Ohio. But over the years it has started to become a destination spot for me. I've enjoyed movies at the Regal Theater and at the Lion's Lincoln Theater. You can read about our time watching White Christmas or Prince Bride at the Lion's theater in earlier posts. We've also enjoyed eating at Bella Sera a fantastic Italian restaurant in the nook of a shopping center. But I have found another reason to make a trip to Massillon for a … [Read more...]
