“This is the worst thing in the world that you can do to a teenager!!!!”, said the 17 year old grand daughter of one of our guests when she discovered that there was no cell phone reception at our house a couple of weeks ago. This week, we have 4 teenagers and a single […]
You will never believe the conversation going on at our house this morning. First you have to understand that we live in Rural Ohio, where in spite of the fact that it is 2010, we do not get cell phone coverage. We live within 60 miles of the city of Columbus but in […]
Home Away from Home advertised on the Superbowl and all heck is breaking loose. The secret is out, and people have been “flocking” to vacation rentals, ours included. Of course, at our place you can really see sheep, cows and horses. You can check us out at www.HomeAway.com/184064 or on VRB).com/233794 or […]
The snow just keeps falling and falling. We have about 8 inches so far that came down all in one day yesterday, and we are expecting up to another 4 inches today - although the flakes are way smaller than yesterday.
I am looking forward to going out and hearing the quiet that follows a […]
So we cleaned today after guests left the Weston House. Every now and then we find something gross (usually compliments of the people) such as 3 days worth of dirty dishes, or poopy diapers (people with toddlers are the worst!).

Rachael, about 6 months ago, submitted a story to the Small Farmer’s Journal a quarterly publication with information applicable to most farmers and anyone interested in old farm equipment, horses and some of the “greener” ways to farm. It’s a great publication that Frank has been getting for years. (If you stay with […]
Merry Christmas to all, and may all of your neighborhoods be as cool as ours!
The little town closest to us - Bladensburg is a wonderful little town this time of year. We have our own Christmas parade. We also put up Christmas decorations on all the light posts on the main roads in […]
My home satellite link for my internet is acting up today. Not too tragic, except I can’t respond to people who are interested in staying with us via e-mail. I’ve made several calls today so that I could respond today, and not delay any longer, but then I needed to send some e-mail […]
Well, here’s a touchy subject….. We had our first refusal to stay this month. We had some people come out who had business in Columbus. After their drive up from the south, probably around a 10 hour drive, they arrived at our doorstep, and didn’t “feel welcome”. Giving us reasons […]
