For years, Tom and I went annually to the Yankee Peddler Festival in Canal Fulton, Ohio. It has been held the first two weekends in September for 44 years. The vendors dress up in Colonial historic dress and anything that isn’t period has to be out of sight. We always enjoyed this festival with the …

Cleveland Indians Clinch the AL Central Division!
On Monday evening, after watching as much of the Presidential Debate as we could stand, Tom and I switched to the Cleveland Indians game on STO. We were just in time for the 9th inning. We watched with excitement as Cody Allen came in, closed the Tigers down, and the Cleveland Indians clinched the American …
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
The last time Tom and I visited the Columbus Zoo was sometime in 1980 when he and I were dating. At that time it was not the world-renowned zoo that it is today. Jack Hanna had just started as Director of the Zoo and had not yet begun the numerous television appearances that made him …
Kokosing Gap Trail, Mount Vernon Ohio
During one of our “slow” days in Ohio, Tom and I rode the tandem on the Kokosing Gap Trail. We rode this trail once before, before I started writing the blog. It is definitely a blog-worthy trail so we rode it again. The Kokosing Gap Trail is a 14 mile rail-trail between Mount Vernon and …
Generosity
Are you a generous person? Tom and I like to think that generosity is one of our traits. We give generously of our financial resources and are willing to share what we have. Generosity means giving as you have received. Sharing what you have. You can look at someone who gives away lots of money …
The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz
I read the Lisbeth Salander trilogy by Stieg Larsson in 2011. By that time the books had reached best-seller status around the world and it seemed as if everyone had read them except me. I found all three of the books to be captivating page-turners that I couldn’t put down. The anti-hero, Lisbeth Salander, was …
Wayne County Fair, Wooster Ohio
Now that Tom and I are back in Ohio we have been busy seeing people and doing things. So many people to see, so little time! Of course, we always spend lots of time with my parents and as much time as possible with John and Jackie. We are continuing our adventure days with my …
Madison KOA in DeForest Wisconsin
When Tom and I drove back to Ohio from Minnesota a couple of weeks ago, we made the trip in two days. Since we retired, we generally travel at a slower pace so we can see some things on the way. Because our time in Ohio is limited, we decided to push on through. The …
That Little Red House
Before I leave Minnesota behind in my blog posts, I had to include one last favorite place. That Little Red House is a yarn shop in Grand Marais and is my favorite current yarn shop. (My favorite used to be My Sister’s Yarn Shop in Green, Ohio, but it closed in June.) It was really …
Carpenter of our Heavenly Home
Tom and I live in an RV that is custom built. That means that we chose the size, the layout, and the finishes, the same way that we would if we built a house with the help of a builder. We chose to work with New Horizons because we trusted the way they built other …
