This would be so cool!

Not long ago, there was a bar full of patrons having a good time like any other day down in Key West. Nothing I'm sure had happened out of the ordinary that day to anyone until this...IN WALKS KENNY CHESNEY AND GIVES THEM AN IMPROMPTU PERFOMANCE!

Yes! This recently happened at an establishment down in the Florida Keys. Wouldn't that be the coolest thing to be out somewhere, just hanging out with friends or family and in walks a celebrity...who goes on to perform at said moment?! That has never happened to me and likely never will. I do wish you luck that it may happen to you one day, and maybe you could even get to meet the celebrity!

Today is National Cat Day

Since today is National Cat Day, I thought I would share this adorable picture of my cat Buttercup that I took earlier today. I want to draw your attention to how he is snuggled under the blanket asleep. HE did that, not me! I just put the blanket down for him on the couch and went to the grocery store. I came home and found him like this - sound asleep. I put groceries away, snapped this picture and left the house again and he never moved...I checked.

It would be awesome if it was bring your cat (or dog) to work day...although he doesn't travel well - but it's the thought! If you have a cat(s) in your household, HAPPY NATIONAL CAT DAY!

I'll always be his neighbor

I grew up a HUGE fan of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I watched it all the time and thought it was a big deal to go on the trolley ride through the neighborhood at Idlewild Park in Pennsylvania!

Late Sautrday night, I was scrolling through Netflix and found the documentary "Won't You be my Neighbor?" about Fred Rogers. It mostly covered how he got into television, how his work expanded into the show we all know, and how he fought to save funding for children's programming. There are interviews with a few cast members of his show, some crew members, and even his wife.

The documentary also delves into the struggles he had trying to decide how to cover tough topics of the 60s and 70s with kids. This was a very interesting documentary. If you grew up with Fred Rogers or have kids that grew up with him, I'd watch it!

National Chocolate Chip cookie Day

Today is National Chocolate Chip cookie Day! I don't know about you, but they are BY FAR my favorite kind of cookies. Some like them crunchy, some like them soft and gooey. I belong to the latter group...what about you?

I can' think of many things that make a better dessert than some of these cookies and a glass of milk. I really try to not indulge myself nearly as often as I did when I was younger for obvious reasons ;) LOL. Interesting fact - the Chocolate Chip cookie was invented in Massachusetts in 1938.

Have a couple for me today to celebrate!

One way to join in on all the fun

Stop by the First Down Fest happening at the ForeverLawn Sports Complex next to the Hall of Fame in Canton for a good time! Live music, food, fun activities for the whole family and more leading up to the Induction Ceremony. Not only that, Cherise will be there tomorrow (Friday) from 3-5. See her for your chance to win some great swag from WQMX!

Now that the Hall of Fame Village is up and running, this should really turn this week of festivities in Canton up a notch or two! All the 4-1-1 about the First Down Fest can be found here.

Welcome another baby Gorilla!

The Metroparks Zoo is having another BIG celebration. They have announced the birth of the SECOND baby Gorilla born in the last three years at the zoo! This is huge news because until the baby boy was born at the zoo, they had NEVER had a Gorilla born at the facility in their entire history. Now, they have two in three years...a boy AND a girl! 

As they both grow, make plans to stop and see them and the rest of the family at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! Here is the story from Channel 3 News.

A little hard to follow...but good

Sunday afternoon I went to see the movie Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt and others. It's a movie that entertains you and makes you think at the same time. I thought the performances were very good. I also thought it's a little difficult to follow, but not so much that you get lost - I am someone who can get lost in a movie somewhat easily, but I was fine.

If you have time, I would say this one to check out. It's a big part of our history.

Not sure about this one either

Yesterday I talked about the mustard Skittles. Today, I feel I must talk about the Frosty Cold Brew at Wendy's. In all fairness and full disclosure, I do not drink coffee. I like the smell but cannot stand the taste. I'm sure if you DO drink coffee though, this will probably be a win!

I mean...C'MON it's a Wendy's Frosty! I am all for dipping your fries in the Frosty..YUM!!! Since I think dipping fries in the Frosty is so delicious, I am going to assume this combination is just as good until I hear otherwise. If you decide to try it I hope you like it!
