Welcome to “My Quality time”…. Linda and I recently
did a little camping/hiking in the Hocking Hills area
of Ohio. We love our T&B ( Little Guy ) camping trailer
For a little wandering music…
With all the rain we have had there was a little
extra water going over the falls.
Top photo the lower falls at Old Mans cave. This photo is
of the falls at Ash Cave.
Joe Todd & Linda reporting from
the Hocking Hills of Ohio.
“PARROTT, JACOB:: Rank and organization: Private, Company K, 33d Ohio Infantry. Place and date: Georgia, April 1862. Entered service at: Hardin County, Ohio. Birth: 17 July 1843, Fairfield County, Ohio. Date of issue: 25 March 1863. Citation: One of the 19 of 22 men (including 2 civilians) who, by direction of Gen. Mitchell (or Buell) penetrated nearly 200 miles south into enemy territory and captured a railroad train at Big Shanty, Ga., in an attempt to destroy the bridges and tracks between Chattanooga and Atlanta.” ( The first Congressional Medal of Honor )
Marietta Museum of History and The Great Locomotive Chase of the Civil War.
I really do appreciate Linda “putting up with” my “museum stops” (Marietta Georgia)
“The landlady and owner of the Kennesaw House was Cole’s mother-in-law. Very interesting, the Kennesaw House is the only building on the square not burned by Sherman. Since I live in Lancaster, Ohio Fairfield County the home of General Sherman, I find this very interesting. Also, by stopping in Marietta Georgia I discovered the the very first Congressional Medal of Honor was given to Jacob Parrott from Fairfield County Ohio. (It is a small world)
The docent Linda and I spoke to at The Marietta Museum of History was very knowledgeable and has lived in Georgia for over thirty years. He is originally from Zanesville,Ohio. (just down the road from Lancaster, Ohio)
General Sherman and I say,”Thanks for stopping by. We hope you enjoyed the post. Linda and I were on our way to Florida for a week and we stopped in Marietta, Georgia as a “mid way point.” Marietta, Georgia was a wonderful stop with many interesting things to see and do even with a limited amount of time. I found the town square in Marietta,Georgia and the town square in Lancaster,Ohio to be very similar in nature with fountains,statues,and gazebos. The two cities seem to share a lot of history also.
For a Spiritual start to the day “The Stairs” by T.D. Garrison and a couple photos of mine taken in the Hocking Hills of Ohio.
Oh long and dark the stairs I trod,
with stumbling feet to find my God,
Gaining a foothold bit by bit
Then slipping back and losing it.
There came a certain time when I
Loosened my hold and fell thereby,
Down to the lowest step my fall
As if I had not climbed at all.
And as I lay despairing there,
there came a footfall on the stairs
And 'lo' when hope had ceased to be
My God came down the stairs to me.
Hope everyone has a great day. Linda and I certainly enjoyed hiking in The Hocking Hills of Ohio.
As some of you know Linda and I have always enjoyed camping/traveling. We decided to trade in our tent and get a small camping trailer. The T@B Q Max is what we decided on. T@B is manufactured right here in Ohio by Little Guy Worldwide: 4122 Erie Ave. S.W., Massillon, Ohio 44646
A big thanks to Bruce Miller RV Specialist at Haydocy RV on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. When we pulled out of the lot (thanks to Bruce ) all our questions about the T@B had been answered and we were Ready to Roll.
So for our “shake down” trip::
You can’t beat a trip to Old Man’s Cave Camp Ground in the Hocking Hills of Ohio.
Linda and I spent four days and three nights at the campground and had a wonderful/comfortable time. In the evenings it was a little chilly but with the Alde heating system we were as warm as toast.
I found the T@B very easy to tow with my Trail Blazer.
We had the opportunity for many campfires and a lot of hiking which will be the topic of some upcoming posts.
As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great day.. Oh the teddy bears enjoyed the trip also..LOL
A Little “Quality Time” History of Ohio.
Hi everyone. I ran across some old documents that belonged to My Great Grandfather The Reverend Nathan Johnson. This was my first attempt at enlarging/scanning and modifying the document for use in a blog post.
NOTE: Daniel A. Poling:: In 1912 he was the Prohibition Party candidate for Governor of Ohio (he lost, but remained an unwavering teetotaler).

A Summer Landscape With Harvesters
the big picture.
Now a detailed look:::
“A Summer Landscape with Harvesters is the largest and most spectacular of De Momper s harvest scenes and was likely part of a series.”
“Roger Berkowitz, museum director, said he fully expects the painting to become a favorite among visitors. “It is a spectacular, dramatic scene with over 70 figures engaged in a variety of intriguing activities of work and rest.”

Hope you enjoyed this My Quality Time museum post and the painting. NOW:::: One of the smaller photos above is not in the painting.. Which photo is it?????
On a personal note:: I was in Toledo visiting an old friend Tom K. He has been battling colorectal cancer for about three years and is having a “rough” time of it. Pleas keep Tom K. in your prayers. Also, when I got back to Lancaster my good friend Jim G. was rushed to the emergency room. Please keep Jim G. in your prayers. As I have often said.”All we have is today let’s make the best of it.”… Jim G. came through emergency stomach surgery and is doing as well as can be expected at this time… Prayers Work…and so do surgeons…
