Bagels By Budge

So her first time ever making bagels.... and
they are better than any bagels I've ever had. 
She's becoming quite the bread queen!
She makes this fresh Rosemary bread
that is sooooooooo perfect!

Bill Withers - Grandma's Hands

What a great song!



Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (2)

I'm sure the birthplace could be argued till the cows come home,

but this is still interesting!

Everyone headed through the door....

A big ship moored up for winter just outside the Hall

They wouldn't let anyone take pictures inside, however, outside we couldn't resist catching this one while heading out for lunch...ZZ Tops Eliminator Custom Coupe (1933 Ford Coupe to be exact) featured in all kinds of magazines, the Eliminator Album cover, owned and driven by Billy Gibbons (the creator of ZZ Top) many places!  The amount of cool stuff in this place is too much to list.  Everything from Muddy Water's acoustic guitar, Michael Jackson's glove, Stevie Nicks stage outfits Jimmy Hendrix couch, handwritten setlists, lyrics, and photos from all the big influences! They even have their own radio station on Sirius radio, that's broadcasted out of the top floor! We saw so many cool things, 100's of guitars, (Les Paul's original design model) and an

amazing Album shop, (Yes, vinyl!)  I couldn't help but think of our friends Peter (and Gail) and Perry (and Susan)...they would love this place, not to mention I must've seen Perry's picture a 100 times (especially in the Rolling Stones exhibit)

Perry favors Mick Jagger.

If it's a boat and a sunset, you can bank on us getting a picture of it!

The ice on the lake is pretty gnarly

Cleveland Browns Stadium

and did I mention it's in the 20's.....brrrrrrrr!

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

So every two weeks I earn 4 hours paid time off, so I took a day off today and we're doing something we've wanted to do since we pulled into Ohio. We're headed to Cleveland to check out the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame! Also, right across the street is the Great Lakes Science Center, so we're gonna check that out too! To add to it all, Bridget has made Philly Steak and Cheese sandwiches, and wrapped them up to take w/ us!!!! We're all excited! Will post pictures when we get back.... in the meantime, if you wanna check out the Hall Of Fame website, click here.... www.rockhall.com
One of the cool things there, is Janis Joplin's Porsche pictured above! 

Cool Twirly Sculpture Thingy

Outside of COSI today...

She Even Picks Up Cars

With a little help from someone else on the end Bridget
picks a car up off the ground!

Playing w/ Sound

Bridget speaks in the beginning into her dish, and it sounds as though she's right behind me.....
everyone should have one of these in their home.....right?

Ball Thingy

Cool demonstration of air pressure.  Pull the rope on the left, w/ bowling ball on the end of rope, in big tube, shoots air into little tube that launches tennis ball up into the air..... neat contraption!

Day @ COSI

Dave, Max, Noah, and Jon
catching some air under the sign!

It's your thing -The Isley Brothers

Not sure why, but had issues w/ last video/song we posted, so trying this one instead... Took a day off today, taking a trip to Columbus to COSI (Center Of Science and Industry), w/ the fam and the boys friend Jon!  I remember going there when I was a kid, and loved it! 

Moving Friends

Today we're headed to Carl and Dee's to help them move.  They found a house out in Galion, and are really excited about getting moved.  Heave ho!  Carl was one of the first people we got to know at West Side.... and they've all shown us a lot of love!  We're thankful for that!
