Last week Tom and I returned to Oglethorpe Point Elementary for Georgia History Day. Tom has gone every year for the Georgia History day, but I have only been one time previously, in 2019. Tom is always a hit in his colonial soldier clothing, so he is a good visual aid. This year Tom and …

Bathroom and Dog Sitting
Because we were in Ohio a week longer than usual, we were able to do some bathroom and dog sitting for John and Jackie. They usually head for Florida about the same time we go to Georgia, but they are only gone for a week-long vacation. This year, John and Jackie were actually planning on …
Darning Loom: A Darn Good Present
For my birthday, Tom got me a darning loom. This was not a random gift. I asked for a darning loom. I had seen them in several magazines and thought it would be good to have. With historical clothing comes historical clothing repair and a darning loom is a good way to patch a rip …
Lynd Fruit Farm in Pataskala, Ohio
Way back in October, Tom and I visited the Lynd Fruit Farm in Pataskala, Ohio. We are now back at Fort Frederica National Monument in Georgia, but I still have so many things to catch up on that I will be writing about stuff in Ohio for the rest of January. I love to go …
Delayed Departure to Georgia
Usually, by this time, Tom and I are in Georgia. Not this year. This year we have a delayed departure due to the RV being in the shop. As of today, we are not sure when we will be heading south but I hope it is soon. Enough of all this snow and cold stuff. …
Wonderful Christmastime
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmastime. I certainly did, although it wasn’t quite what I was expecting or planning. We always want a white Christmas in Ohio. One year, when I was a pastor, it started snowing during the midnight Christmas service and continued with big, fluffy flakes into the next …
Annual Christmas Cookie Post 2022
It is time for the annual wrap-ups, lists and looking back over the past year. All the posts this week will be posts that I write every year, with the appropriate updates. First up, the annual Christmas Cookie post. I was very disciplined and restrained last year as I tried to get used to having …
Ohio Gourd Show and Festival
The first Saturday in October, Tom and I went to the Ohio Gourd Show and Festival. The Ohio Gourd Show was held at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, so it wasn’t too far away. Tom really likes gourds, and, after attending the show, I have a new appreciation of them myself. The Ohio Gourd Show is …
Fall Foliage in Ohio
The fall foliage in Ohio has been absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect, with cool nights and clear, sunny days. I always contend that Ohio’s fall foliage can rival any other state. We have maples, oaks, sweet gums, birches, and honey locusts, all of which produce wonderful colors. We went on a fall foliage drive …
Jared and Alexandria November Wedding
The biggest event in our family this fall was the wedding of Jared and Alexandria. Jared is my youngest nephew, the son of my sister Julia and my brother-in-law Mike. I wrote about hosting their shower in August and their wedding was just as much fun as the shower. Jared and Alexandria have been together …
