While we have been home, Tom and I did a dinette renovation on the RV. You might remember that we looked at a motorhome in February that was too expensive for us to consider buying. We decided at that point that we would make a few changes to our current, paid-off RV instead of buying …
Sullys Irish Pub in Medina, Ohio
Last week Tom and I had lunch at Sullys Irish Pub in Medina, Ohio. We met Karen at Thyme 2 the last time. Medina is a good meeting place because it is halfway between her house and ours. And it has a nice square to walk around and shops to check out. But we decided …
One Thing Leads to Another
One thing leads to another. This is a cliched phrase that is also very true in life, as Tom and I are frequently reminded. You make a decision, and before you know it, you are down a rabbit hole. You choose one thing, which leads to another necessary choice, which leads to a third choice, …
Thinking Caps On
Today is time to get our thinking caps on. I have collected some deep thoughts over the last year and want to share them with you. This is not a skimming post. You can skip it, but you can’t skim it. I invite you to take a little time to read it and use those …
Harvest Pizzeria in Dublin, Ohio
Recently John and Jackie took us to Harvest Pizzeria in Dublin, Ohio. It is their favorite pizza place. I know I’ve been writing about a lot of places to eat lately. I have several projects to write about, but I don’t want to write posts on them until they are finished. These projects are filling …
Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley
I recently finished the book “Parnassus on Wheels” by Christopher Morley and now I am recommending it to everybody. The book was first published in 1917, but I had never heard of it. I was reading “The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore” by Evan Friss and it mentioned “Parnassus on Wheels.” Being intrigued …
Paninis Bar and Grill in Brunswick
After our hike in Hinckley Reservation, Chris, Bill, Tom, and I headed to Paninis Bar and Grill in Brunswick for lunch. As you know, I love going to new places and I had never been to Paninis before. Paninis Bar and Grill is a chain, but it is mostly in northeast Ohio. It started with …
Looking for Jesus in Wrong Places
I have been reading the One Year Bible and have finished three of the gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. In each of them are stories about people looking for Jesus in the wrong places. A little like the lyrics from the old song, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places.” First we have the …
Hinckley Reservation Cleveland Metroparks
Although Hinckley Reservation isn’t far from our old stomping grounds in Akron, Tom and I had never been there. Hinckley Reservation is the southern-most of the Cleveland Metroparks. It is also one of the largest, with 3,200 acres. When we were deciding where to meet our friends Chris and Bill, Tom suggested Hinckley Reservation. Hinckley …
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at Polaris
Tom and I recently met John at Jackie at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at Polaris. We were looking for a new place to eat. Firebirds looked good and its prices were in the middle range. Jackie had suggested a restaurant that is new (opened last week) but their prices seemed high, so we decided to …
