Today, September 6, might be considered the unofficial end of Summer 2016 -- or beginning of Fall depending on if you think of Labor day as the end of Summer. Phew! I don't know about you, but for me and my husband, Bobby, it has been a whirlwind of a season. I thought I might reflect on things a little, partly because I am tired from the weekend, but mostly because I had such a great summer, I kind of want to re-live it. The Beginning of Summer in May -- It started out quiet enough with … [Read more...]
Nothing Rinky about Rinky Dink Family Fun Center in Medina, Ohio
When I turned 10 years old, I got to have a slumber party with a group of my friends. We put a tent up in the backyard and slept outside. When I turned 10, about 100 years ago, they didn't have places like Rinky Dink Family Fun Center. But now they do, and so, thanks to a terrific offer on Groupon, we (my husband Bobby and I) went there to celebrate our great nephew, DeAveon's birthday. The birthday party consisted of DeAveon, his brother, Noah, his mother (our niece), Ashley, Great … [Read more...]
Spending Time with Boardman, Ohio’s Own Willy Wonka
I have a confession to make. I am a chocoholic. They say that the first step is admitting you have a problem. I know I have a problem, but I just don't want to quit!

Friday, August 12, 2016 was the day when Bobby and I got a private tour of Gorant's factory by its own Willy Wonka. Although he didn't have a purple … [Read more...]
What Can You Say, with Lego Bricks, Everything is Awesome!
Little did I know that July 2016 would have the same theme as the Lego Movie--or at least the same theme song "Everything is Awesome." It is this catchy, can't-get-out-of-your-head tune that is forever repeating. Because of my great nephews, DeAveon and Noah, I know that song quite well. Or maybe I should say is is because of my husband, Bobby, who constantly sings the song to DeAveon and Noah whenever he sees them. Either way, it has been playing in my head most of July. First because July was … [Read more...]
Movie Marathon with My Dad
This past Tuesday, July 26, I got to spend time with my dad, Bud, at the movies like we do every year for his birthday. As I've said in another blog post, this is a tradition that started back in 1985 with the movies Silverado, Pale Rider and Cocoon. Since 1985 I think we have only missed one or maybe two years of our movie marathon. My dad and I love movies. We could probably sit and watch movies all day, every day, for a week. So, that we only take one day out of the year for our marathon is … [Read more...]
