My cousin and I took a guided tour through the Mansfield Reformatory in Mansfield Ohio. This is where the Shawshank Redemption movie was filmed. I thought I would share my pictures with you since I took the day off from cooking. There have been multiple movies and a video filmed here including being filmed as a Russian prison for the […]

Our last day trip this week was to Amish Country. We do not go into the main tourist area but instead stick to the back roads and visit our favorite businesses. The best advice I can give you about visiting Amish Country is never go on a Sunday. The Amish are very religious and Sunday is for church and family. […]
