On Pining, Coshocton’ing, and Facilitating a Blogging Workshop

“It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone… but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.” ― Kahlil Gibran My mom was a fan of Kahlil Gibran, especially of The Prophet, and I think she would forgive and understand if I take … More On Pining, Coshocton’ing, and Facilitating a Blogging Workshop

Just breathe. Chill out. Take it easy. Relax! Don’t have a cow. I have trouble following any of the above suggestions from well-meaning friends. Once I’m worked up, I just have to have that cow!

Happy Veterans’ Day: Annin Flag Factory Tour, Part 2

Happy Veterans’ Day, everyone! Today I’m going to include the remainder of the photos from my tour of the Annin Flag Factory in Coshocton Ohio, but first I wanted to start with this nice VFW sign near where I’m house-sitting this week.

Annin Flag Factory Tour, Part 1: Patriotic Weekend Window!

This weekend’s photo blogs are from my tour of the Annin Flag Factory in Coshocton, Ohio.  I had so many great pics from there that I figured I will just make the entire weekend full of patriotic photos.

Win a Jar of Apple Butter: Stick Your Head in Something!

I will stick my head in anything. Okay, maybe that’s a little bit of a yarn, but I really do love those plywood cutouts with a silly scene just begging passersby to insert their noggins. So as you can imagine I was ecstatic to pose, Marla Appleseed style. Kurt was, well, a little less than … More Win a Jar of Apple Butter: Stick Your Head in Something!

Death match. That’s the only plausible explanation I can find for why I repeatedly take pairs of socks to the laundromat and return with unmatched sets. I check shirt sleeves, pants, pockets. I run my hands around the insides of the washer and dryer walls, searching in vain.

Bee’s Knees and…Gnat Testicles?: Coshocton River Walk, Part 2

I get it. I get it! “The bee’s knees!”  As I was taking close-up photographs with my camera phone on a morning river walk in Coshocton, Ohio, I was mesmerized by the fluffy yellow leg warmers a particular honeybee had accumulated on his many treks over the aster flowers. I was so full of love … More Bee’s Knees and…Gnat Testicles?: Coshocton River Walk, Part 2

Weekend Window: Raven’s Glenn Brunch

Today’s photo blog is from last Sunday’s brunch at Raven’s Glenn Winery near Coshocton, Ohio. Adjusting to new towns also means exploring local restaurants.

Horse-Drawn Canal Boat

The official flag of the United States in 1836, she represents the early days of the Walhonding section of the canal in Coshocton County, Ohio. I wondered just how far back in time I was stepping when I rode the horse-drawn canal boat … More Horse-Drawn Canal Boat
