However, we made the decision long ago to abandon Facebook. And we must admit that we are clueless about exactly what is what when it comes to social media. So we…

ELLSWORTH: Not So Wild In The Heart

From The Heart Of Ohio Not So Wild In The Heart CATHERINE LAKE ELLSWORTH Although we do not normally make any New Year resolutions, we must admit that we did this year, as there are times in life when we tend not to make the best choices, leaving us needing to make some changes. And such seems to be the case when we chose the name “From the Wilds of Ohio” for our current writings.  Since doing so, we have discovered there is actually a place in Cumberland, Ohio, which is called “The Wilds.” From their website we learned that…
