Editor's Note: Below is a post I wrote after last year's visit to Wooster's Window Wonderland and visit by Santa Claus. I'm reposting it because if you can, you should try to attend the Window Wonderland this year. It is happening on Friday, November 18, 2016 from 7:00-9:30 p.m. Earlier activities begin at 4:30-7:00 p.m. at Wayne Center for the Arts. Enjoy my flashback post, but more importantly enjoy the festivities downtown on Friday. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...or at … [Read more...]
(Certified Angus) Beef, It’s What’s for Dinner
I used say I was going to marry a rancher, because I wanted to have steak any time I wanted. I'm that much of a beef eater. I didn't, but I got the next best thing.

What I Learned About Vince Gill at Wayne County Fair

I loved that he could convice me in one song of his deep emotions and in another of his sense of humor. Back then, I never would have imagined that I'd … [Read more...]
Natalie Grant(s) Access to Her Faith
When I attended the Girls Night Out event at the Medina Performing Arts Center on September 12, I had no idea that I would be so blessed by Natalie Grant's concert. Up to that day, I had never heard any of Natalie's songs. I had gone because Anita Renfroe was performing. Also, I wanted to hang out with my friend, Jan Maxwell. We had purchased VIP tickets, which allowed us to go to a Q&A session with both Natalie Grant and Anita Renfro. It gave me a glimpse into the heart of both … [Read more...]
