Maybe it is because yesterday was the Autumnal Equinox (the first day of fall), I feel the need to hold onto summer for just another day or two. I am doing that by reliving the recent visit to Geneva On The Lake, Ohio. We visited on a really hot July day -- although I think the whole summer was really hot. The "we" included my husband, Bobby, my parents, Bud and Dolores, my great-nephew, Ameareka and his mom, Aya. Ameareka is 6 years old and neither he nor his mom had ever seen Lake Erie. Aya … [Read more...]
End of Summer Reflections
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...]
Owney: Where I Go When My Parents are Out Gallivanting
My mom, Wendi, and my dad, Bobby, take a lot of trips. You might think it is because of Mom's blog, but really they've been doing this for as long as I've known them. Sometimes they are just day trips. Sometimes they are longer trips. I'm not sure why I don't get to go along with them. I mean I'm just a 25 pound dog. I don't take up too much space or anything. O.K. I will admit that I'm not the most obedient dog around. I will pull them when we walk. I also know they think I bark too much, but, … [Read more...]
Forrest Gump, Washington D.C. and Me
I love movies. Not all movies, but the ones I like, I have no problem watching over and over again. My husband, Bobby, often records movies from weekends when Dish Network runs specials in hopes that you will upgrade your package. On our DVR right now we have plenty of movies waiting to be watched that I have yet to see. I often select the ones I have already watched and enjoyed previously. I guess there is just something comfortable about watching a movie when I know how it ends. The boy gets … [Read more...]
