I went home for Christmas and took my great nieces and nephews to the Highland Museum & Discovery…read moreCenter. This museum wasn't open when I lived in the area, so I was excited to check it out. We first walked through the section of country music artists from Kentucky. Some popular ones on exhibit included the Judd's, Loretta Lynn and Billy Ray Cyrus. We learned about the early civilization of native Americans in Kentucky. There was a Kentucky clothes exhibit that dated pretty far back and up through the 80's. Then we checked out the basement, which was a total kid's zone. They loved it! There was a McDonald's, an old phone booth, dark tunnels for exploring. They all loved the boat cockpit which included all the controlles. There was a front porch with a swing. A puppet area and even an old piano. I was impressed with the museum. We went in December, and there were lots of beautiful Christmas trees and ginger bread houses on display in the atrium that were created and donated by local businesses. There was an area for the kids to write letters to Santa. This is a perfect place for kids to learn and play. And yes, the adults can learn too;)

What a cool place in the middle of ....Ashland?!?! Not far from WV in Ashland, KY lies this place…read more It is where my children got to be: astronauts, tree huggers, scientists, supermarket clark, bankers, archaeologists, and a McDonald's cashier. By looking through the front window, you would never know that this place has a bottom floor filled with a ton of things that will help a child's mind run wild with creative ideas. Some of the local schools and companies donated towards this project and it is great. My favorite part was the space shuttle area where we could talk into microphones and make our voices sound different. I was talking from the "headquarters" and my children were responding from the space shuttle in space. They loved digging for the dinosaur bones too in the rubber pit (which is very shallow--maybe 4 inches deep). So with every great experience, I like to point out something that needs improvement. For this place, the bathrooms need to be updated/worked on/fixed. In the men's room the toilet was broken (not that I went in there). In the woman's bathroom, 1 stall was out of order and the other toilet leaked from the base when you flushed it. This is gross! On the main floor of the building they had some Christmas trees displayed and well as a gingerbread house contact. Oh, they also have this amazing sound wall where you touch the different shapes in order to make different noises. They also have a country music exhibit. Who knew that my man, Billy Ray, shook his achy breaky heart in this town. same with the Judd's. I wonder if this is where Miley comes to visit too. Anyways, when you have nothing to do when visiting this area...now you do!

My buddy and I went on a tour of different stadiums to visit for college football teams. We got…read moreinto a lot of different stadiums through a pill for the go Cardinals, and really enjoyed ourselves. It's a nice stadium and we are Marshall. We enjoyed visiting for sure.

We recently attended the Marshall versus Norfolk State University game. We were offered the tickets…read moreafter a funeral for a friend's father. Seriously, how could we turn down free tickets? I'm always concerned about where to park when visiting stadiums and arenas. Plus, I do not want to walk two miles. Well, we noticed most folks were parking on the streets and neighboring parking lots. We chose not to since we were unfamiliar with the area and didn't want to get towed during the game. So, I coughed up $20.00 for parking next to the stadium. Besides, the tickets were free. The size of the stadium reminded me of Missouri's Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. It had a close-knit feel to it. The lines for food and drinks weren't slow, and the line moved quickly. We were both impressed. I believe we picked up water and two sodas for $12, and yes, they serve beer until the end of the third quarter. Also, the fans were friendly and talkative. Of course, I signed, "I'm Deaf," and all was good. The universal football talk is a majority of fist bumps and high-fives unless the team is horrible, and then, most folks exit left anyways. So, if you haven't visited Joan C. Edwards Stadium, please try it, and you might find yourself saying, "We are MARSHALL!"

Such a great festival for the area. We try to hit it up every year when we can. Usually the end of…read moreSeptember (last weekend). It's about a two hour drive for us now but so worth it. Prepare for a great weekend of amazing Greek food (Souvlaki, Saganki, Greek coffee, Kataifi pastries, and of course Baklava), dancing (and boy do they dance!!) and finally of course a little Greek culture. Opa!!

Gone are the days where people understood the concept that lots of patrons CAN attend a movie…read morewithout being disruptive. So what is disruptive? Cell phone screens and /or audio or chat. Unruly kids. Any kind of conversation during the movie. Anything that detracts from the movies entertainment value. Hell movie theaters used to have Valets that monitored the event and enforced the general rules for admission. Since the theaters have quit, it was good that streaming came along. Now we can watch new releases without rude interuptions from other people. Actually save money too. So theaters will eventually become a thing of the past. Just like drive in theaters.

4/23/21 When hanging out in Huntington Mall, there were…read moretimes I went to the movie theaters. This theater is one I went to when The Camelot Theater, The Keith Albee Movie Theater and Cinema Theater didn't have the movies I wanted to see. I don't know if they have upgraded the seating, but you might have heard of the term "Down In Front" spoken from time to time. I came to this movie theater once with a friend who did not like Valentine's day mainly because we were both single. Going to this mall or the movies was tricky at times. Mainly because the last bus was around 5 or 6pm. If you missed this bus you either had a car, took a cab back to campus or walked back to school. Still, there were times I chanced watching a movie at the mall. Then I had to rush to the bus station in a hurry. Great times:)
