It’s Labor Day, a day to celebrate and pay tribute to the achievements of American and Canadian workers. I spent the long weekend at a beachfront condo, on Lake Erie, with my daughter in Geneva Ohio. We go away once a year together, just the two of us, and always have a wonderful time. The lake view from our condo. […]
My husband and I took a day trip to downtown Columbus Ohio to check out the North Market. Living in a small town, we don’t have anything like this and we thought it was food that you bought then took home to prepare. Boy were we wrong! It is almost entirely made up of food that is already prepared and […]
This is my last post from our trip to Holland Michigan then back to cooking, I promise! Windmill Island Gardens was beautiful and full of flowers, flags, a carousel, an organ and a gift shop. These wooden shoes were on the building where we paid to get in. What a way to walk in with these gorgeous tulips! We looked […]
Here are some more pictures of our trip to Holland Michigan. This is the “Big Red Lighthouse” a different color from any lighthouse I have ever seen. We ate here because it was close to our hotel and we found the food to be out of this world delicious! When we walked up to the front of the building we […]
Holland Bowl Mill turned out to be another favorite and souvenir stop. We all bought our favorite bowl, OK my mother in law and I may have each bought more than one! When we walked into the store, we were immediately greeted. This business has been in the family since 1926 when it started out making wooden shoes. We were […]
This was another part of our trip to Holland Michigan. The reason I focused on the sidewalk is because it never gets salted, plowed or shoveled. A large portion of Holland has an underground water system that heats the sidewalks and streets in the winter which melts the snow. I hope they realize there is a fire hydrant in there! […]
Today we came home from a two day trip to Holland Michigan to see tulips and other flowers. My husband and I took along my mother in law, she is going to turn 94 this week. We also visited other attractions which I will post another day. I hope you enjoy these beautiful flowers as much as we did. My […]
My husband had a few days off so we took a day trip to Yellow Springs, Ohio. It was a perfect day, with a gorgeous blue sky and puffy white clouds. Yellow Springs is a fun place to visit for a day trip or weekend adventure. The hippie town boasts an array of entertaining activities that appeal to a range […]
My daughter gave me my fabulous Mother’s Day gift last week and we celebrated her successful nursing career by staying in a beautiful cabin, just the two of us, at Hocking Hills, Ohio. We walked to two different caves, went in the hot tub at the cabin, cooked steak on the grill, ate out, did some sightseeing and we relaxed. […]
Since we missed out on our cruise to Hawaii last year, due to the pandemic, my husband had 3 weeks vacation built up that he needed to use it or lose it. Monday we decided to visit a new place called Roscoe Village in Coshocton Ohio, pictures below. Tuesday we headed towards Cleveland to eat at a place called Fat […]
