Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Southern Ohio is the Shawnee State Park. Without my computer and cell phone service, I was unplugged for 4 days!!!

What happens when you are involved in planning an event bringing a possible 8000 people to town? PANIC! My way of keeping calm - blog this event!

Marion County, Ohio, Deputy Sheriff Brandy Winfield was murdered Oct. 2004 in the line of duty. His friends honor his memory each year with a poker run. This year brought the bikes to Upper.

A small sleepy farmtown in northwest Ohio has been my home for most of my life. With a very historical background, I wanted to share a few thoughts about Upper Sandusky and Wyandot County.

A rare family get together celebrating my mother's 76th birthday provided the kids with some fishing.

The celebration wasn't for Mothers' Day - we did that last weekend. This celebration was for Mom's brave, successful fight against breast cancer.

My family knows that I like my birthday low key. On my last birthday, my son, daughter-in-law, and their four daughters treated me to a visit to the Columbus Zoo - one of my favorite family activities.

What can you do and see on a short weekend trip? Well, for myself, our daughter and son-in-law, it was visit Indianapolis.

My husband and I decided to take a day trip to the Amish Country in Holmes County Ohio.

OK - so not technically a blizzard in our area, but for most of central and north central Ohio.
