Tom and I recently visited Maysville, Kentucky on our journey back to Ohio for my cancer surgery. We try to find one interesting or historical place to stop each time we travel back to Ohio, to give us something new to see. Maysville, Kentucky is a small city – about 9,000 people – on the …
From Happy Trails
Cheryl and Scott Giddens, Visitors
The first week of July Tom and I had some very special visitors, Cheryl and Scott Giddens. They were our first out-of-town visitors and they came all the way from South Carolina. Well, actually, they live in South Carolina and they were sort of on the way from being in western Virginia for a show. …
Fun Three Days in Ohio
Tom and I had a fun three days on our “weekend” back in Ohio. We weren’t really home for much of that time, but we got everything done on our to-do list. We drove up to Ohio on Tuesday morning and afternoon. We decided to take a back way, missing Cincinnati. Although Cincinnati is a …
Triple Falls and Cove State Park
Tom and I always ask the rangers about their favorite places to go. Recently Ranger Layton told us his favorite hiking place is Triple Falls in Tennessee. He lives in Speedwell, Tennessee, so he isn’t far from Triple Falls. Triple Falls is a man-made waterfall on Bruce Creek. When I-75 was built through this part …
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, Inside it is Boring
It’s raining. It’s pouring. Inside it is boring. May and the beginning of June have been extremely wet here in the Cumberland Gap area. Today marks the fourth straight day of constant rain. I don’t mind rain so much when we are in Ohio because there is plenty to do inside the house. Including room …
Morning Walk at Cumberland Gap
I am continuing my morning walk, at least on the mornings that I don’t work. We started at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park on May 16, so we now have three weeks under our belts. I love to get out for a morning walk first thing. I get up, shower, have breakfast and do my …
Winter Wonderland in Ohio
Tom and I returned to Ohio’s winter wonderland for three weeks in February. We had to vacate our RV spot at Fort Frederica, which I explained in a previous post. During the time we had to be gone, we came back to Ohio to spend some time with Mom and Dad. The day we arrived …
Brownie Points in Columbus
Tom and I recently made a visit to Brownie Points in Columbus. Brownie Points is one of the stores listed in the Buckeye Treat Trail, which I have written about previously. All the other stores were retail stores with bright, colorful exterior and a welcoming interior. This place is a little different. First, we had …
Donnas Delicious Dozen in Gahanna, Ohio
Donnas Delicious Dozen was our third stop on the Buckeye Treat Trail. Despite being the third, it was first in the deliciousness of the treats we tried. Donnas Delicious Dozen is located right on the edge of Columbus, New Albany, and Gahanna. We stopped there on a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon. We had already …
Elegant Illusions Christmas Drive Through Park
Elegant Illusions Christmas Drive Through Park is a new Christmas lighting display at the Portage County Randolph Fairgrounds. Tom and I recently picked up Mom and Dad and headed out for the adventure of the lights. I am always looking for new drive-through displays because Dad isn’t able to walk around. By finding a drive-through …
