Last Friday I attended a luncheon at Wedgewood Estates with my mother and sister for Mother’s Day. Wedgewood Estates, just in case you are wondering, is not connected in any way with Wedgewood United Methodist Church. It is just a coincidence that the retirement community where my mom and dad live is named the same …

Silkies Pantyhose, Necessary or Not?
On Sunday I wore Silkies Pantyhose while I was at Wedgewood. Monday I threw them into the laundry so they will be ready to wear the next time I need pantyhose. They are one of seven pairs of Silkies Pantyhose that I still own, four of them in their original packaging. When I first started …
Ohio Glass Museum in Lancaster, Ohio
The reason we went to Lancaster was to see the Ohio Glass Museum. I learned about it when I was researching trifle bowls, which mostly seem to be made by Anchor Hocking in Lancaster. I thought it would be interesting to see such a big glass plant still in operation, but they don’t give factory …
Azaleas at Frederica
I rave about the azaleas at Frederica every year. They start blooming at the beginning of February and continue to bloom through March. When I walked in the azalea garden this morning, it looked like most of them were done blooming because the weather turned suddenly very cold. No matter how long or short their …
Midway Museum in Midway, Georgia
Tom and I recently visited the Midway Museum in Midway, Georgia. This is our sixth year on St. Simons Island, and I was looking for someplace new to go. Volunteer Linda Usrey suggested the Midway Museum to me last year, but it took a while for us to get up there. We went to the …
2023 Island Concert Series on St. Simons
One of the things we really enjoy about being on St. Simons Island in the winter is the February Island Concert Series. I attended three out of the four concerts in February and enjoyed the variety. The Island Concert Series is held in the St. Simons Presbyterian Church. 2023 was the 39th year for the …
Oglethorpe Point Elementary Georgia History
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 …
