One of the advantages of putting down stakes in Sugarcreek, Ohio a few days ahead of schedule, is the opportunity to run errands in somewhat familiar territory. This morning we had the pleasure of grocery shopping at Buehler’s in Dover, one of a small chain of supermarkets in northeast Ohio. Then we stopped by the Valvoline in New Philadelphia for an oil change. We’re semi regular customers there! A surprisingly fun stop was to purchase an air filter and wiper blades at Advance Auto Parts. Our use of Apple Pay was a revealing first for the three guys behind the counter this morning. They hadn’t known that they had the technology for a customer to use a smartphone to make a purchase! And of course we enjoyed the Advance Auto Parts service of installation of our new wiper blades and disposal/recycling of our used parts. Now it’s time to head back to camp to put away groceries, grab a rest, and prepare for sunset festivities!
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
