It's our first day of Summer Ramble 2019! Leaving Sugarcreek we headed west out of Tuscarawas County and through Holmes County noting how little we actually got out and about during our two weeks in Amish Country. We planned to stop briefly in Hayesville, Ohio to see...

Warehouse Winery

Warehouse Winery

It was a good day, if a bit blustery and chilly, at üCamp. Truth be told it was actually so rainy that the evening presentations and showing of American Grafitti was cancelled. That gave us a guilt-free opportunity to go off campus with a cadre of good friends and...

Six of us piled into a Highlander for a trip to Lehman's, originally founded in 1955 to stock non-electric equipment and supplies in demand in the middle of Ohio's Amish community. These days the Lehman's store here in Kidron is patronized not only by local Amish and...

Milking Time

It's where Chipotle's sour cream comes from, an Amish family dairy farm certified for its humane animal care. We were invited to watch the milking this afternoon. We were impressed with the care the family took with the process from the milking of the cows and the...

Friends alerted us to the fact that the Amish Country Doughnuts truck would be open for business this morning so Amanda and the two of us headed out for a sweet experience in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Even just ordering these huge doughnuts at the counter is a fun experience....

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
