Before Jackie and I went to see “Beauty and the Beast” last week, she took me to brunch at Fitzys Diner. The original Fitzys Diner address is 1487 Schrock Rd. in Columbus. Fitzys is one of the few places in Columbus open 24 hours. When Jackie said we were going to a diner, I pictured something …

Beauty and the Beast – New Movie
The new “Beauty and the Beast” movie came out in the middle of March, but it took until last Sunday for me to go see it. Even though Tom and I saw a lot of movies on St. Simons, Tom didn’t really want to go see “Beauty and the Beast.” So I put it off …
Super Duper Everything Party
Tom and I were only in Ohio for two weeks between the time we finished at Fort Frederica and leaving for San Juan Island. Much too short a time. We were not able to see everyone we wanted to see or do all the things we wanted to do. Tom and I had to fit …
Mothers Are a Gift from God (usually)
Have you ever noticed that Mothers’ Day is the sappiest, most sentimental holiday of the year? There is a reason why more people go out to eat on Mothers’ Day than any day of the year. And Mothers’ Day is second only to Valentine’s Day for flower sales. People with great moms are sentimental about …
Local Roots Restaurant in Powell, Ohio
On our short stay in Ohio, we still had time to check out a couple of new-to-us restaurants with John and Jackie. After we attended church at Powell United Methodist together, we headed just down Powell Road to the Local Roots Restaurant. Tom and I drive by the restaurant almost every time we go to …
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Tom and I had one day in Akron on this visit to Ohio. We saw our favorite dentist, went to CVS, and then had several hours free before meeting friends for dinner. We decided to go to Cuyahoga Valley National Park during that interim time. Over the years we spent a lot of time in …
Cleveland Indians – Our Annual Game
When John realized that we were only going to be in Ohio for two weeks during the entire Cleveland Indians season, he suggested we fit in our annual game. We try to get to at least one Cleveland Indians’ game every year with the family. John picked the date, my parents confirmed it, and I …
Visiting a National Park
Many people are getting ready for summer vacations now. Being an expert at visiting National Parks (well, maybe not an expert, but I have visited and worked at a lot of them) I thought I would give you the benefit of my experience. Thus, today’s post is a how to guide for visiting a national …
Depend and Dependable: Learning to Be a Sheep
Do you depend on Jesus and can Jesus depend on you? Yesterday I returned to the Powell United Methodist Church for worship and this is the question I encountered. I went by myself to worship. Tom and John took off early for an all-day paintball game. Jackie was doing things around the house. So I …
Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon by Donna Andrews
I recently discovered a new mystery writer and I have been enjoying her books immensely. Donna Andrews has written a series of books with bird-themed titles. There are 20 books in the series so far and I hope there are many more to come. “Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon” is #4 in her Meg Langslow series. Meg …
