I was provided a free pass to the Maritime Museum located in Sandusky, Ohio. All thoughts are 100% honest and my own.

I was very impressed with the knowledge of our tour guide at the museum. I could tell he had a passion for old Maritime items and their importance in our history. Sandusky has a rich Maritime history. Through their interactive exhibits and educational programs, you can learn much about boat building, ice harvesting, commercial fishing, shipwrecks, wetlands, Sandusky’s role in the Underground Railroad, recreational boating, commercial shipping, passenger boats, and much more.

I learned that keeping one fish fresh takes ten pounds of ice while in transport. Some of the main fish in the area are Perch and Yellow Bass, and the local restaurants offer them for sale on their menus.

Kids can make their little sailboats to take home with them. Young adults and their parents can build a small boat to take home. The class provides all of the material for the ship and the course on how to make the boat for a total cost of only $300.00. Young children can learn how to create and tie Maritime knots.

There are a lot of old-time wooden boats on display that are in mint condition; many of the ships were made in Sandusky, Ohio. They stopped making these wooden boat beauties because of fiberglass and aluminum, which did not take the maintenance to maintain that the wooden boats take to keep.

The museum has a lot of old Maritime tools and equipment. They also have a collection of items from the Underground Railroad. They have chains, shackles, and pictures of the houses that helped with the Underground Railroad network. They have educational films on the Maritime Industry and the Underground Railroad. To learn more, go to sanduskymaritime.org.

No Comments on Skyline Tree Service Located in Riceville , Iowa

I hired Skyline Tree Service to remove many trees in my groove and trim some trees around my building site. I was very impressed with Skyline Tree Service, which is located in Riceville, Iowa. They did an excellent job. My trees look well-manicured now. They were careful not to tear my yard as they worked on my trees. They take a lot of pride in their work, and they work quickly and in a very professional manner. They pushed the trees into a big pile that was easy for me to burn.

They did a fantastic job of thinning out the trees in my groove. The trees in my track were planted too close to each other, so they thinned out. The trees they left in my groove can get a lot of sun and air filtration now, so that they will do much better in the future. They explained how a tree would fill out more and remain healthier with the proper air filtration and sun.

They trimmed up my evergreens to get more air movement through them, which helped prevent needle cast. The evergreens are not touching the ground anymore; therefore, they will dry out much quicker after a rainstorm, making for a healthy and sturdy evergreen.

They sawed down many of my old Ash trees that were rotten in the middle. They also took down several evergreens for me that had needle cast disease. They removed 38 large stumps for me, put fresh dirt in the holes, and then applied grass seed, a variety that can withstand the summer heat. There were a lot of wood chips left over from getting rid of the stumps I placed between my garden rows. Wood chips prevent green bean and potato blight, keep the weeds down, and fertilize your soil.

They have three friendly and ambitious men in their crew. They work quickly and do a top-notch job. They have all of the necessary equipment to get the job done. They clean up every branch and take your tree or bush debris. Your property looks so much better when you hire professionals to trim up your trees, and they are nice and healthy looking. A restorative well, the taken-care tree will provide shade and a windbreak for many years. Depending on your planted variety, healthy trees can live 45 to 150 years.

Skyline Tree Service also trimmed up several of my bushes for me. My brushes look lovely now. By not letting your trees touch each other, you can prevent many diseases from spreading from tree to tree. They trimmed a lot of dead branches out of my trees, also. I was very impressed with Skyline Tree Service, located in Riceville, Iowa. I would highly recommend them to all of my friends and family.

I was provided CatManDoo Bonito Flakes treat for cats from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I first gave the Bonito flakes, which are tuna, to my cat next door. Hilford, Mr. Gray, Lorenzo, Nicole, and Addi ate these wonderful cat treats as if there were no tomorrow. I gave some treats to Bella, my oldest cat next door, and she ate them up very quickly since Lorenzo was watching her. Cali ate all of her tuna flakes along with Peter and Sherlock. Russ was happy eating away at his CatManDoo Bonito Flakes Treat from Chewy.Com.

The CatManDoo Bonito Flakes are like what potato chips are for us. The flakes are dried and sliced as thinly as possible, making them easy for any cat to eat and enjoy. They smell like a smoked tuna would smell. The CatManDoo flakes have a pleasant smell for you and your cat. The ingredients in CatManDoo are all-natural, high in protein, and a healthy additive to any cat’s diet. You can reward your cat with a nutritious treat. There are no additives or preservatives, and it is a single source of protein. I love that CatManDoo Dried Bonito Flakes are made in the USA.

I gave some Bonito flakes to my three house cats, and they had them completely eaten in no time flat. Kohl wanted a few more bits to eat, so I sat out a few more for him. I gave my outdoor cat Maggie some of the chips; she was pleased while eating her CatManDoo flakes from Chewy.Com.

I highly recommend this delicious tuna flake cat treat for all your feline friends and family. Your cats will give CatManDoo paws up.

Is Your Cat Trying to Tell you Something

No Comments on Is Your Cat Trying to Tell you Something

Cats are much more intelligent than we give them credit for. Several cats have saved their owner’s life. Cats have awakened the house’s owner to make them aware of a fire. One Tom cat kept going to the door of his house and wanted his mistress to let him outdoors. Finally, she opened the door and let him out. Once outside, he went to the gas meter and wrinkled his nose. She called the gas company, and they told her her cat had saved her life. They told her her house would have blown up in about an hour.

One of my outdoor cats kept staring at my house one night. The following day I knew why she had been staring at my home. The cord to her heated cat bed and water bowl had quit working. I installed a new line for her that morning.

One cat kept lying by his owner’s head and kneading away in the same spot on her head day after day. She had been having headaches but was not very concerned. Her cat started kneading her head more regularly, and her headaches worsened. She went to her Doctor, who ran many tests, and she discovered she had brain cancer. Somehow her cat seemed to know that she had cancer, and he was trying to let her know the only way he could.

One cat in a nursing home would lie down next to the residents. There always seemed to die within a week of him lying down next to them. He was probably trying to comfort them before they passed on.

Cats are very astute to changes in the weather. My friend had a cat that hid under her couch just as the tornado siren sounded. Her cat came out from under her couch when the all-clear alert came on her TV.

I know I will pay special attention to whatever my cats are trying to tell me in their unique way.

Ohio Put - In - Bay

Put – In – Bay , Ohio

I was provided tickets to Millers Ferries, E’s Island Golf Carts, Perry’s Cave Family Fun Center, Heineman’s Winery, and Crystal Cave to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

My ride on Miller Ferry to Put-in-Bay was pleasant and relaxing. One of the men on the Ferry explained what we saw as we sailed along in our Ferry to Put-in-Bay. Miller Ferries prices are very affordable. The Ferry departs every half hour and only takes eighteen minutes to get to Put-in-Bay. MillerFerry.Com.

We walked a little distance to our golf cart provided by E’s Island Golf carts. The name on our golf cart was Lollipop. It was straightforward to locate our golf cart since they named her Lollipop. Maneuvering around Put-in-Bay in our golf cart was beautiful. We never had any issues with our golf cart. The battery in our golf cart was fully charged when we first took off. I highly recommend using a golf cart to get around Put-in-Bay. Riding in the golf cart made getting around in Put-in-Bay a breeze. esputinbaygolfcarts.com.

South Bass Island Lighthouse is a lovely Lighthouse to visit. They have a very knowledgeable tour guide. He will tell you the complete history of the Lighthouse. I love to look at old Lighthouses and learn about their vast history. I like to think of all the lives saved throughout the years because of Lighthouses. I think about the light in the Lighthouses leading the men to safety from the stormy weather.

We went to Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial. I was very impressed with this memorial. The memorial is a Doric column, rising 352 ft. over Lake Erie, and is situated five miles from the longest undefended border in the World.

We went to Perry’s Cave Family Fun Center. I enjoyed their butterfly house. They had various colored butterflies to look at and take pictures of. Sitting, watching, and looking at the butterflies while they ate the oranges and flew around in their butterfly house was enjoyable and relaxing. Perry’s Cave was fascinating to look at. Anyone tall had to bend over as they walked through the Cave. Perry’s Cave Family Fun Center had a lot of exciting things for kids to do. I will mention a few of them. They have Gemstone Mining, 18 holes Miniature Golf Course a rock climbing wall, and more. perrycave.com.

We went to Heineman’s Winery, which was founded in 1888 and is a fifth-generation winery. They are the oldest family-owned winery in Ohio. They sell award-winning wines. heinemanswinery.com.

We went to Crystal Cave and saw the Worlds largest celestite geode. I loved looking at all the magnificent and awesome crystals in the Cave. It was easy to get around in the Cave and look at the crystals nature had made over the years.

Put-in-Bay has a lot of good eating establishments. Along the Boardwalk, you can have sandwiches, Lobster, Tacos, Pizza, and Lobster Bisque Soup; you and your kids can do many activities and things. You could stop at the Cedar Point Theme Park and spend the day riding the different rides with your kids. There are plenty of places to shop and many points of interest to see in Put-in-Bay, Ohio.

I recently purchased a Litter Maid Self-Cleaning Litter Box. My Calico cat Cali used the litter box when I had it set up. Cali did not even wait for me to plug it in. The litter box is straightforward to set up and requires no daily scooping. Every time a cat uses the litter box, a rake comes along and rakes up all of the waste into a little tray that is easy to clean or dispose of. Your cat’s litter box is handled 24/7 with a Litter Maid Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box. You can buy Litter Maid Brand receptacles, accessories, and more for optimal performance.

I purchased their litter box for a Multi-cat household. The Litter Maid litter box has a seven-day maintenance-free clean system. Their Multi-cat litter box will handle a cat that weighs over 15 pounds. The Litter Maid Litter box has a 90-day money-back guarantee and a one-year limited warranty. The Litter Maid litter box has a battery pack that will keep your litter box fully functional even when your power goes off.

All of my ten cats in the house next door feel at ease while using the Litter Maid Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box. When a cat leaves the litter box, the rake pushes the waste into a small respectable. The Litter Maid is quiet enough not to scare or upset the cats in the house. My cats prefer using this modern self-cleaning litter box considerably compared to the old-fashioned kind that does not get cleaned out 24/7. My house smells much better with a Litter Maid Automatic Self – Cleaning Litter Box. My cats give the Litter Maid Automatic litter box paws up.

I was provided three nights of lodging at the Sawmill Creek Resort Lake Erie Shores and Islands. All thoughts are 100% honest and my own.

My room is nice and clean and nicely appointed—the lighting where my computer is fantastic. The pillows on my bed are nice and fluffy. I have a lightweight comforter on my bed with a white sheet covering the comforter. My room has a lovely couch to sit on while you watch the TV set in my bedroom. In the Fall and Winter months, you can use a gorgeous fireplace under the TV set surrounded by pinewood. The bathroom has an excellent tub-shower combination, and there is an ample supply of towels, shampoo, and soap. A beautiful makeup mirror and high-wattage bulbs in the bathroom make getting your makeup on in the morning fast and easy. They have supplied a hair dryer for your use. The hallways are clean, and there is adequate lighting in the hallways.

I love the pictures of the animals in our room. We have a tile floor in the bathroom and carpet in the bedroom area. The entryway has a knotty pine floor. The Lodge has provided robes for our use. The air conditioner and heating unit are modern and easy to operate and maintain the temperature you want in your room.

The bed is nice and soft and exactly what I want to sleep on for a relaxing night’s rest. Our TV works and has a lovely crisp and clear color. The parking lot is well-lit, which I greatly appreciate at night. I love the deadbolt lock on our room door. I am delighted and impressed with the cleanliest and comfort of our rooms: Sawmill creek resort, com.

Clock Repair

Clock repair is a dying art form unless more young people are willing to learn how to repair clocks to get them back to their original glory. I love to take apart a mantel clock, clean it, and oil it to regain its original running condition. I had the great privilege of working with Lloyd Vollmers in Mason City, Iowa. Lloyd is an expert when it comes to clock repair of all types. He has repaired mantel clocks, alarm clocks, Grandfathers clocks, and more for me. Getting an old clock back up and running again is like rejuvenating an old friend. The pendulum is like the heartbeat of a human. If it is not in perfect beat or swing, it will not work.

I love the sound of clocks ticking in the background in my house. I find that listing to a watch is very relaxing. When my clocks are not running, the place sounds dead and silent. The ticking clocks bring life into my home. I especially love the sound of the old Seth Thomas mantle Clocks. They have a sound with a deep and clear tick-tock and chime. The old grandfather’s clocks leave a taste of distinction and worldly charm in your home. They make a statement in the same room they are in your home. They have glandular information you cannot find in modern clocks today.

I have Seth Thomas and Howard Miller clocks in my house, mainly. They are easy to repair and need less than other clocks brands. I love to use an old-fashioned alarm clock in the morning. They are very loud, and you cannot oversleep when you use a retro wind-up alarm clock.

My outdoor cats were glad to get some Sheba cat food for their evening snack. When I set it in front of them, Maggie and her sister ate up the Sheba Chicken entree. Onyx loved the Sheba Turkey entree from Chewy.Com.
