What are your favorite national park sites? The National Parks have been on my mind a lot lately. I feel like President Trump is basically trying to demolish the National Parks, along with a lot of other things. And working in the National Parks, even as a volunteer, is pretty stressful right now. I have …
The Silos in Dayton, Ohio
On a very rainy Saturday in May, Tom and I met the Winstead family at The Silos in downtown Dayton, Ohio. We had been trying to get together for a while and finally, all the stars aligned, and we were able to spend some time together. The Silos were grain and feed silos originally built …
Dinette Renovation in the RV
While we have been home, Tom and I did a dinette renovation on the RV. You might remember that we looked at a motorhome in February that was too expensive for us to consider buying. We decided at that point that we would make a few changes to our current, paid-off RV instead of buying …
Sullys Irish Pub in Medina, Ohio
Last week Tom and I had lunch at Sullys Irish Pub in Medina, Ohio. We met Karen at Thyme 2 the last time. Medina is a good meeting place because it is halfway between her house and ours. And it has a nice square to walk around and shops to check out. But we decided …
One Thing Leads to Another
One thing leads to another. This is a cliched phrase that is also very true in life, as Tom and I are frequently reminded. You make a decision, and before you know it, you are down a rabbit hole. You choose one thing, which leads to another necessary choice, which leads to a third choice, …
Thinking Caps On
Today is time to get our thinking caps on. I have collected some deep thoughts over the last year and want to share them with you. This is not a skimming post. You can skip it, but you can’t skim it. I invite you to take a little time to read it and use those …
Harvest Pizzeria in Dublin, Ohio
Recently John and Jackie took us to Harvest Pizzeria in Dublin, Ohio. It is their favorite pizza place. I know I’ve been writing about a lot of places to eat lately. I have several projects to write about, but I don’t want to write posts on them until they are finished. These projects are filling …
Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley
I recently finished the book “Parnassus on Wheels” by Christopher Morley and now I am recommending it to everybody. The book was first published in 1917, but I had never heard of it. I was reading “The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore” by Evan Friss and it mentioned “Parnassus on Wheels.” Being intrigued …
Paninis Bar and Grill in Brunswick
After our hike in Hinckley Reservation, Chris, Bill, Tom, and I headed to Paninis Bar and Grill in Brunswick for lunch. As you know, I love going to new places and I had never been to Paninis before. Paninis Bar and Grill is a chain, but it is mostly in northeast Ohio. It started with …
Looking for Jesus in Wrong Places
I have been reading the One Year Bible and have finished three of the gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. In each of them are stories about people looking for Jesus in the wrong places. A little like the lyrics from the old song, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places.” First we have the …
