I Like Jessica because........

Cliff Note:I originally posted this last week forgetting that Jessica was on vacation. According to my site meter she's back, so I'm moving this back to the top.

Taking a look at my blogroll, I notice that bloggers from the southern states outnumber those from northern states. Jessica is from Michigan and proud of it. Why, I don't know. Keep in mind that I live in Ohio. Jessica loves cold weather and the activities that come with it.

I discovered Jessica from Frasypoo's blogroll. The first thing I discovered was that Jessica is a photography nut. Second thing was that she is a proud band mom, like one of my best friends, Brenda. I first left a comment there when she took some pictures of her daughter Jordan at a band show. It was during marching season and we folks connected with our local marching bands seem to notice those things.

Of course I have to interject here that Jordan's band, the Hartford Indian Emerald Vanguard, is a corps band, as opposed to the Rittman Indians Marching Band, which is a show band.

Jessica loves her dogs and has a blog just for them, Seadra and Zoe. Seadra is an 8 year old boston terrier and Zoe ia a 4 year old pug. You can catch their adventures chronicled in that blog.

As I mentioned before, Jessica is a photography nut and has a blog called Through the Viewfinder, which is mainly dedicated to this hobby.

Jessica's main blog is called Five Pines, and is very much a family oriented blog, where she features herself, her husband, Craig, son Caleb, and afore mentioned daughter Jordan, who by the way has one of the prettiest smiles I have ever seen. The family seems closer to Ozzie and Harriet than Ozzie and Sharon. I will mention again as I have done before the web address, willimakeadifferance.blogspot.com. I think most who come here want to do that, and Jessica is a good example of making a difference by blogging. She also makes a difference by being a nurse, as I am sure that she uses the same compassion in her work as she does around all the blogs. And Jessica is also an advocate of wearing her seatbelt;)

You have to read Five Pines for that story. Enjoy your visit.

Bella: It must be my rugged good looks, full head of hair, and my willingness to try something new, such as boiled peanuts.
Keeping in mind that my wife's parents are both from West Virginia, which is almost in the south.

Plus I love being called darlin'

Cliff!! You sure know how to lift a person up. And you really do pay attention to details. Wow, a whole post dedicated to me and my family. I had to read this one out loud to my husband. We both liked the Ozzie and Harriet comment.... somedays that is true and somedays not :-)

You are right, we were on vacation all last week just getting home late this afternoon. I have to say it was one of the most realaxing vacations we've ever had. I am really excited about blogging all about it and posting some of the most amazing photos that I captured. I was really hoping to get some great shots of wildlife and birds and I was not didappointed. You'll be seeing and hearing all about it on my blog this week. There were so many magical monents that I can't do it all in one post. It will give me something to blog about all week.

Thanks again Cliff. You have a kind soul and I'm glad to have gotten to know you in this blogging world of ours.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil
