When Wendi and I traveled to Columbus back in April for Special Persons Day at the elementary school where our great-nephews attend, it turned into a two-fer for us. We had a chance to spend some time with DeAveon and Noah, and then share a meal with Wendi's cousin, Danny, who was attending The Ohio State University at the time (he has since graduated with both his bachelor's and master's degrees). We settled on a place I had heard only good things about: Condado Tacos. While Wendi and I … [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 never had the opportunity to attend anything like this for any of our nieces or nephews when they were growing up. The closest I got was attending Candy Bar Bingo at our niece Courtney's, school in New Hampshire. Bobby and I took the day off to drive the 2 hours to go to Montrose Elementary School … [Read more...]
Jeni’s (Really, Really) Splendid Ice Cream
Ice Cream isn't technically one of the major four food groups, but in my house it is rare that we don't have some in the freezer.

That is partly due to the fact we visited Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream in the Short North area of … [Read more...]
The Thurman Cafe, A German Village Gem
When my husband, Bobby, and I went to Columbus on Saturday, March 19, 2016, I had only planned to attend a show at The Little Theatre Off Broadway in Grove City. Bobby had more in mind than that. He had been wanting to try The Thurman Cafe for some time. It wasn't until recently that it was even on my radar. I had no preconceived idea of where we were going. Bobby had talked about the "Thurmanator," this truly gargantuan burger they serve. It consists of two 12 ounce burgers, … [Read more...]
A Perfect Date in Columbus
My husband, Bobby, and I always have a great time together. Well, I should say usually, because there are times when I am...let's say a wee bit moody. But most of the time that isn't the case. So having a perfect date is not out of the ordinary. (Hey, maybe that is why I started this blog.) Saturday, March 19, 2016, was another great time away. It all started when I found out that a friend of ours, Audrey Lombardo, was performing in a community theater production in Grove City, Ohio. … [Read more...]
