Reluctant Visit to West Side Market
I'm basically a good wife, but I have been a little reticent regarding Bobby's desire to visit West Side Market. In the last year, he has mentioned us "needing" to go there a couple of different times. I've been there before, so I had already crossed it off my bucket list. Didn't really see it as a good reason to battle the Cleveland traffic, to see it again. However, because today is his birthday, I began to think that I could make the journey for him.

Bobby and I took Owney to Portage Lakes State Park on Labor Day and on our way there we passed Pav’s Creamery. It is on the corner of Manchester Road and State Road. Bobby said we needed to stop there on our way back. I had no intention of doing such a thing. From the quick glimpse I had, it looked like some … [Read more...]
