I love donuts and coffee (of course.) According to Amanda and her friends, there's just no better place to grab a delicious fresh donut than Bill's Donut Shop. Crazy as this sounds we've discussed the best type of donuts and even talked about going on a cross-country donut tour. Who wouldn't enjoy that kind of travel schedule? Not sure it would be great for my wardrobe though!
I've dreamed of living in Ohio to be near my bestie. More than once I've had a look at Ohio Realtors and searched homes near the donut shop and in my friend's neighborhood. I think I could get used to living there especially with all the great public programs they have for children. Ohio has many great places for families to settle down and make a home, but for now, I'll have to settle for a visit. We've talked of meeting up at the Great Wolf Lodge in Cincinnati so the kids can swim and play and we can catch up in person. Perhaps one day we'll just meet at Bill's Donut Shop for a cup of coffee and a donut? It's amazing that Ohio is my neighboring state and I've visited so few times when there's so much left to discover! Have you thought of moving to Ohio? What part of the state would you like to live in?

I live in Ohio, have my whole life. One of my favorite things about the state is Cedar Point and Hocking Hills. Amish Country is great too.
ReplyDeleteCedar Point! Back in the day, I drove 9 hours one-way with a friend to Cedar Pint when Millennium Force first opened. We waiting 3 hours in line to ride, it was worth it! Would love to go back.
DeleteMy favorite is Young's Dairy for ice cream. Check out their website. https://youngsdairy.com/

ReplyDeleteI've lived in Ohio almost 47 years and other than the unpredictable winters, I love everything our state has to offer!

ReplyDeleteI have never visited Ohio, but I would absolutely love to! It looks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI live in Wisconsin but have often thought of relocating to Ohio. The cost of living is very affordable there.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Ohio. This benefits the Habitat for Humanity.
ReplyDeleteI would say the Homeless Families Foundation although it sounds like HER Realtors do a lot through multiple other organizations. I have never been to Ohio but hope to in the future.
ReplyDeleteLove that they give back to Habitat for Humanity. We visited Ohio as a kid when my dad was in the Army to visit friends.
ReplyDeleteI've actually never visited Ohio before....although I hear Cleveland is pretty cool. The Huckleberry House's mission really speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteI have never had the opportunity to visit Ohio. So glad there are companies working to make Ohio a better place to live and helping others.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to visit Ohio but I have never been there before. I love that Her realtors give back to Habitat for Humanity!
ReplyDeleteWe love to visit Berlin and the surrounding Towns
ReplyDeleteThe best charity for her is The Homeless Families Foundation
ReplyDeleteI have not visited Ohio, but I have been very close and I have a dear friend that lives there. HER Realtors gives back to several charities including OSA Star House, Habitat for humanity, Homeless Families Foundation, Huckleberry House, and Gracehaven Youth for Christ

Yes, I actually lived in Ohio (Columbus area) for 2 years. I loved shopping at Easton Town Center.
ReplyDeleteThey do a lot for the homeless in Ohio. I have lived all my life in Ohio and love everything about it except the winters.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Ohio, but is on bucket list of places to visit
ReplyDeleteI have visited Ohio, Cleveland specifically. Great people, so friendly and just such a great place for food and fun
ReplyDeleteI visited Ohio once, almost 50 years ago. I don't remember much about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a south Florida native..DH is a Clevelander..all the family is up there in the burbs..we get back every couple years.
ReplyDeleteLove Cleveland and Ohio..so much to do and see! If not for winters, I'd consider moving!
Thanks.
The OSU Star House benefits from Her Realtors. Yes, I have visited Ohio, I enjoy Put in Bay, and Cuyahoga National Park.
ReplyDeleteWe lived in Ohio for a couple of years and truly hate what has become of so many areas, but...we still return for two of our favorite restaurants, one being Tony Pacos - we drive an hour and a half to get there now, but it's still worth the drive.
ReplyDeleteI love visiting ohio!
ReplyDeleteOSU Star House
ReplyDeleteI have been to Cincinnati before. It's a cute city and reminds me a lot of Kentucky (which is where I am from). There is a really good Thai restaurant that we went to, and Jungle Jims was a lot of fun.
I have never been to Ohio. Seems like a nice place to live
ReplyDeleteI've driven through Cincinnati at night and it was beautiful! I'd love to visit again!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Ohio
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Ohio and my family still lives there so we visit all the time!

ReplyDeleteagnesye@hotmail.com
It looks like OSU is benefitting most. I have never been but it looks like a nice place to visit!
ReplyDeleteOhio looks like a nice place. Never been!
ReplyDeleteI have only driven through Ohio as part of a road trip I took in college. We spent a night at a hostel in Columbus before we continued on to Cleveland, where we spent the day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before going to a concert that night (we sort of followed that band from Orlando to Cleveland before going to our destination in Indiana).
ReplyDeleteMy husband is from Ohio, so we visit often. I love doing business with companies that give back to their community.
ReplyDeleteThey are all fabulous charities but Huckleberry House would benefit greatly! Unfortunately as close to Ohio that I am I've never visited!
ReplyDeleteI've been to Ohio a lot. Cleveland ROCKS and is my favorite city!
ReplyDeleteI think Star House is a good benefit to the community, it is a safe place for the homeless youth to go to seek shelter and guidance.

OSU Star House is one that benefits from the foundation. I have driven through Ohio multiple times, and occasionally spent the night there during a trip, as well as being there for a meeting a couple of times before I retired. Also, one of my friends from the Navy was from Ohio, so I do know that there are things I would like to do/see while spending some actual time there.
ReplyDeleteHabitat for Humanity is benefiting!
