Christmas house, a labor of love

For many years, the Kobilarcik's have transformed their house in Wooster, Ohio to a Christmas wonderland. Their home, located on Milltown Road, between Melrose Rd. and Cleveland Rd, state route 3, is a fantastic display of their Christmas spirit. We took out kids there when they were young and have returned many times. Last night I took my grandson, Ben, there for the first time.
There is space for plenty of parking, as the public is welcome free of charge. The sign pictured above, is behind the soldier on the left. This is the walkway to the house.
As we walked towards the house, we were welcomed by an array of Disney characters, all in their Christmas finest.


As you get closer to the house, you will see displays of dolls and stuffed toys, all in the spirit of the season.


The front and side of the house fully contain displays that took years to come together. Some of these brings to mind department store windows from years past.


And yes, there are displays that show the reason for the season.

The final photo is my grandson Ben with Santa Claus. I gave Santa my card and invited him to see what I wrote about the house.

If you live in this area and haven't seen the house, check it out. I think you will enjoy what you see.

Wish I could see it! The drive may be a bit too far for me. But I did see it through your blog. Thanks Cliff!

Cliff,
I have a neighbor who decorates all of the front of her home and front yard each Christmas.

I enjoy looking out my window and seeing the twinkling lights.

It is in no way as elaborate as the one you shared in your photos but still...it is nice.

Thanks for sharing your visit with us bloggers.

Tom & I have gone to see it a few times. It is very nice. Reminds me of downtown Akron years ago. My mom used to take me up there every year to see the displays. We went to Lake Anna yesterday, it's beautiful. So many lights!!

That looks worth the drive. Lake Anna is a good idea too! We drove to Cleveland last week thinking we would go see "The Christmas Story" house, we kept driving when we saw the line of people lined up one sidewalk and around the block!

Merry Christmas!

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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
