Tecumseh! Drama: Shawnee History Comes to Life

By

When my husband, Bobby, and I lived in Hillsboro, OH, we were just a county over from Ross County. Ross County is the county in which the Outdoor Drama, Tecumseh! is performed. Sadly, we never made it to Chillicothe to see the drama, which based on the Tecumseh! website is the "epic life story of the legendary Shawnee leader as he struggles to defend his sacred homelands in the Ohio country during the late 1700’s." We had friends that went, but for some reason, when you live close to a tourist … [Read more...]

The Village Point Parlor Worth a Trip to Hayesville

By

Earlier this summer, my good friend, Jan Maxwell, tagged me in a post on Facebook about a new place in Hayesville, Ohio, that served pizza and ice cream. Hayesville is a small village just a few miles off of US Route 30. It looked like a place I'd like to visit, but honestly, though, I never heard of Hayesville... and my husband, Bobby, and I travel that stretch of highway a lot. It is funny the things you miss along the way to somewhere else. So when Jan and I made plans to meet up to … [Read more...]

Bubba’s 33 gives this Boston boy a taste of home

By

When a friend of ours posted on Facebook he was beginning a new journey with Bubba's 33: Pizza-Burgers-Beer restaurant, I checked it out and immediately wanted to try it. The closest one to us is in Canton, and we decided to make a day of it Sunday by catching a movie and a late lunch. Wendi and I do not drink, so we were not enticed by the beer, but I am a fan of pizza, having grown up in an Italian family in an Italian neighborhood just outside Boston, and Wendi loves burgers. We were … [Read more...]

Dad’s Birthday Movie Marathon 2018

By

TRADITION! TRADITION! Can't you hear Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof shout it? I can. So why do I bring it up? Well, in my family, we like our traditions, especially our birthday traditions. And maybe one of my favorites is spending the day at the movies for my dad's birthday. This year was no different, although we did go a week early. (Maybe he is going to start a new tradition of celebrating for a week, like someone else we know.) Dad's one condition was that he wanted to see Ant-Man and The … [Read more...]

Getting to the Hart of the Matter: Friends are Important

By

About a month or so ago, I received an invite to attend a friend's 50th birthday. In what seemed like two seconds after the invite, I received a text from my friend asking whether I was coming to the party or not because I hadn't clicked on the link and RSVP'd. I told him Wendi and I indeed were coming, and I found the link and indicated we would be intending the 50th birthday bash of Kenny Hart. I met Kenny, along with his fiancee, Dawn Hott, about a year ago through a mutual friend, the … [Read more...]
