Michael Sonata: You’ll Swear He is Ol’ Blue Eyes Himself

By

When I happened upon the Boomer magazine in the entryway of Akron General Hospital in May, I had no idea what I stumbled upon. The magazine is geared to the Boomers in North East Ohio. (Boomers, in case you don't know, is a defined age group of people born between 1947 and 1962 -- or so.) I am not a boomer, but my husband is! I found the magazine interesting and informative. It also led me to discover a place called The Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland, … [Read more...]

Spend a Few Minutes With Frank (Sinatra Impersonator)

I celebrate my birthday for a week, and while there have been a couple events already, Friday was the big kick off to my annual birthday week. Joined by my husband, Bobby, and my parents, Bud and Dolores Breese, we went to the Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland to watch Michael Sonata, a Frank Sinatra impersonator.

Great Ice Cream from A to Z’s

By

I lived in Medina County growing up. I moved back to the area, well close enough, by moving to Wayne County several years ago. However, I have never gone through Hinckley, Ohio at least not to my knowledge. That is until last Saturday, January 28, 2017. My husband, Bobby and I traveled to Walton Hills to Bedford Reservation with our dog, Owney. Both Bobby and Owney wrote about our adventures there, but I get the chance to write about our visit to Z's Cream and Bean. After a chance to walk … [Read more...]
