I just went back and read the blog I posted last January, when I was thrilled to have the opportunity to walk on the beach and search for sea glass in 17-below-zero-degree weather. Despite the fact that the sea glass was frozen to the beach and that I froze my ass off, I was able more…

I love the colors of the sunset, but I have to admit that this time of year, they have some fierce competition from the beautiful colors of the fall foliage. I live within walking distance to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, so it’s easy for me to take a break during my day to sneak more…

Summer is not over, summer is not over… That is the mantra I keep repeating! If you are a northeast Ohioan desperate to latch on to outdoor activities before we get locked up inside for the winter months, I’ve got a great way to get outdoors, listen to music, try a tasty mojito, and catch more…

I love finding new, cool outdoor things to do in Ohio, and if you live near the Akron area, you have to check out the new Lock 4. And no, I didn’t get it wrong and mean to say Lock 3. Akron’s popular concert venue, Lock 3, has a new sister venue, that is über more…

Well, I got my bubble burst this past weekend. I’ve been working out a lot lately with a mix of yoga, Zumba®, bike riding, and long walks on the beach. I felt like I was getting in pretty good shape and my body was toning up. That is until I was thrust into the Vermilion more…

Hope you had a wonderful and long holiday weekend! Mine was a blast and, as I predicted, I am sunburned, a tad bit bloated, and very happy. It is going to take me a day or two to get back into the groove after spending all weekend by the water, on the water, in the more…

I absolutely love living close to Lake Erie. The waves that roll into the beach remind me of being at the ocean, and one of my favorite things to do is take long walks on the beach, looking for seaglass. Back in May (yeah, I’ve been a bit remiss on getting my beach photos up) more…

I think my sister is a little yanked that I didn’t mention how cool she is on my About Page. I mean come on; she isn’t even a fan on my facebook page yet!  What up with that! (hint, hint) She should know how I feel about her, but just in case, in tribute to more…

I just love the colors in this picture!  This photo was taken in early May last year on the shores of Lake Erie. I think it looks like a watercolor painting. This was one of those sunsets that kept getting prettier, and despite the cold I continued to run down to the beach to get more…

I grew up watching Paige Palmer with my mom and sister on TV and can still remember sitting on my mom’s feet, at Paige’s urging, so my mother could reach her toes as she exercised. Paige was smart, worldly, confident, and invented her own way to be a feminist (no bra burning or hairy legs more…
