Have you ever heard of the Buy Nothing Project? When Tom and I moved to Westerville, I joined a group on Facebook that was like a big yard sale, “Sunbury and Galena Sales.” I joined the group because I thought I might be able to pick up some used furniture or other items I needed …

2020 Weaving in Georgia and Ohio
One of the good things about 2020 is that I’ve had plenty of time for weaving. During the Covid-19 shutdown at Fort Frederica I even taught a bunch of other people to weave. One of my favorite students was the maintenance intern, Angela, who got so good at it she started designing her own projects. …
Butch Bandos Fantasy of Lights in Delaware
I’ve written before about Butch Bandos Fantasy of Lights in Delaware. In fact, I’ve written about it twice already. I don’t usually write about something three times, but this is an unusual year, so I’ve done some unusual things. In our efforts to get into the Christmas spirit and find safe things to do, we …
Wonderlights at National Trail Raceway
Last week Tom and I picked up my parents and went to see Wonderlights at the National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio. We have been trying to get out and see some of the light displays in the area. The radio advertisements say “Wonderlights returns to National Trail Raceway.” I’m not sure if they mean …
Merry Little Christmas

Twelve Cookies of Christmas
All this week I will be featuring the twelve cookies of Christmas. Usually you hear about my Christmas baking because I have been baking with my mom and sister. This year, with a pandemic and social distancing, everything is different. Mom usually gives most of the cookies we bake away, but this year she isn’t …
One Size Fits All With Jesus
Have you ever ordered anything “one size fits all?” Did it fit? I must be an odd size because nothing like that ever fits me. Even when things come in sizes, I often have a hard time getting the right size, especially when it is a gift. For instance, I ordered a really cute sweatshirt …
Hogback Ridge Park Near Sunbury, Ohio
In our continuing exploration of the area, Tom and I recently hiked around Hogback Ridge Park, a Delaware County Preserve. As I’ve mentioned before, Delaware County has done a really good job of preserving green spaces close to its towns and housing developments. The weather has been cold and snowy, but it is nice to …
