A few people (who shall remain nameless) have teased me a little bit about what I will not be able to do or will not have in Ohio. Well, I came up with my own list of what Ohio DOES have that Utah does not have.
- Marion's Pizza: Words cannot describe this pizza. I believe we all have our "hometown favorites". Well, this is one of mine.
- Mike-sell's potato chips: Again, hometown favorite. Made in Dayton and the oldest potato chip company in the United States!
- Big Butter Jesus: This is outside of Cincinnati and it looks like someone carved Jesus out of butter.
- This very large crucifix was on our way home - I took this picture through the window in the truck. You definitely don't see this in Utah!
- Trader Joes: I love this store!
- The Cardinal: This is the OHIO state bird. Some would like to think that it was the Indiana state bird first, but that is not the case. Some very simple research shows that Ohio received its statehood in 1803, while Indiana did not become a state until 1816. I saw a cardinal my first day in Ohio! It was absolutely bea-U-ti-ful!
- The Golden Nugget Pancake House: It is a tradition that started several years ago. Colleen, Denise, Dad, and Flo would meet every Friday morning at 'Goldies' for breakfast. That tradition still continues today and now I will be a part of it.
- My Twin! Utah does NOT have my twin, nor the rest of my family. I'm so excited to be with them!

And the best thing that Ohio has the Utah has not in one Diane Cobey. Lucky Ohio.
I am so happy for you! That song on your blog makes me cry with joy that you get to be with your family again.
I don't know about the buttery Jesus, but the rest of that stuff sounds pretty great. I don't know who is picking on Ohio, but I love this part of the country. We often consider moving back to PA (or maybe upstate New York or Ohio or Virginia something.) I think I need to get a Level 2 teaching licence first though. Maybe I should take the Praxis or something. Nah.
I am glad you made it back to your home safely with no other crashing down buildings...at least that you posted ;-D
Utah doesn't have those things, but they do have the biggest college rivlary! It won't be the same with out you!!
Other than Trader Joe's and Diane Cobey, I think Utah still beats Ohio. (Did I just stick up for Utah of all places? What's happening to me???)
I miss you, Di! I did enjoy this post, though......those are some great pics. Keep'em coming.....Ü
