Do you like renewing your drivers license? I never minded before. When we lived in Akron, I went to the BMV in Ellet, stood in line five minutes and got my new license. Four years ago, newly retired, I got it renewed in Mansfield and had the same kind of experience. When the time came …
New Hairdresser and New (sort of) Style
While I was in Ohio, I decided to find a new hairdresser. My last two haircuts at Great Clips have definitely not been great. I am tired of such hit or miss haircuts. So I decided that, if I could find a new hairdresser in Columbus, I could at least get a good haircut twice …
Georges Linworth Diner in Worthington, Ohio
The last place that John and Jackie took us to eat while we were in Ohio was Georges Linworth Diner in Worthington. Diners are always fun and this place is a new favorite for John and Jackie. We went there to eat in between Saturday morning choir practice and the 12:50 showing of “Knives Out,” …
Heart Attacks: Making Each Day Precious
In the last few months, two good 60 year old friends have had heart attacks. Both of them had 100% blockages in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). These kind of heart attacks are called “widowmakers” because they can lead to death if the person isn’t treated right away. Our friend Tom got immediate treatment …
Wolf Pup Loom by Schacht Spindle Company
Finally I had my new Schacht Wolf Pup Loom in hand – and in the RV. Even though the dimensions sounded reasonable when we ordered it, the loom looked a lot bigger once it was in the RV and out of the box. But, before we could get it in place, I had to put …
Retrieving the Schacht Wolf Pup Loom
I mentioned last fall that I ordered a Schacht Wolf Pup Loom after my weaving class at Red Stone Glen. I was very excited about getting the loom and had visions of weaving dish towels for everyone in the family for Christmas. Unfortunately, the loom was delayed and I didn’t end up retrieving it until …
Knives Out: Best Original Mystery Movie This Century
When Tom and I saw the trailers for “Knives Out” we knew it was a movie we would have to see. We are not into blood and gore and lots of violence for the sake of upping the ratings. But we love the classic “who-dun-it” style mystery. Some of our favorites are “Clue,” “Murder by …
Lunches and Suppers with Friends
While we were in Ohio, we had lots of lunches and suppers with friends. We got to touch base with plenty of the folks that I love, even if I didn’t always remember to take a picture. Of course, I would always love to spend more time, but my diet probably can’t afford many more …
Until Christ Is Formed In You
I recently read Galatians 4:19 and was struck by the language Paul used. He wrote, “My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you.” That is only a portion of the passage and I don’t usually take verses out of context. But this one verse …
Bru Burger near Polaris, Columbus
In contrast to Beer Barrel Pizza and Grill, Bru Burger is a place that I would eat over and over again. It is another new restaurant, located close to Polaris on the north side of Columbus. Bru Burger Bar started in 2011 and now has ten locations across three states. The menu isn’t large, compared …
