Miamisburg Mound, Ohio
While we were spending the day with the Winsteads, we visited the Miamisburg Mound. The mound is located very close to their home and they have visited before. Tom went to the mound when he was in elementary school. I had never been. The Miamisburg Mound is one of the places in the Ohio History …
Wooly Bully Yarn Company
The Wooly Bully Yarn Company in Springboro, Ohio is a gem of a yarn shop. When Amy Winstead told me she wanted to learn to knit or crochet, I was all in favor of it. But, even when Tom and I are in Ohio, we are two hours away from the Winsteads. So I searched …
