I love all things natural and vintage… This year, the Christmas tree at the Woodland cottage is decorated with beautiful deep plum berries, vintage gold ornaments and pine cone ornaments. I love it so much!
You won’t find anything over the top fancy here but you will find cozy, warm and clean. I like to think of it as a home for the holidays vibe🤎

I was second-guessing myself after planting mums in the window boxes in early September. I wasn’t sure what to replace it with in between fall and the winter decorations once the mums died off… I decided to leave it be and they are absolutely beautiful right now! The pops of deep rose and dusky beige are so pretty along with the colorful gourds thanks to the chilly nights we’ve been having! Great lesson here- when you let nature run its course it all works out better in the end!

Rosalie’s in Strasburg is one of our favorites for breakfast. Definitely need to try this place out as well.

MILL STREET DINER

The Mill Street Diner opened Aug. 3 at 993 W. Main St. in Sugarcreek. The diner, which serves breakfast and lunch, is a combined partnership of Ray Owens and Samantha Frye, both of Dundee.

Frye, who was 18 when she purchased Rosalie’s Restaurant in Strasburg, has joined forces with Owens to create a new restaurant in Sugarcreek.

“I was a regular at Rosalie’s and met Samantha. We became friends, and she spoke about wanting to expand her business or maybe exploring more business opportunities. I kept going past the empty building on West Main and Mill streets. It kept drawing me back. I was not aware the street was named Mill Street (Ohio 93). Samantha came with me to look at the building, and after talking to Sam and putting our heads together, we decided to open the diner,” Owens said.
Owens has owned the Mill Street Grill food truck since 2020.

“I love what I do to make people happy and cater to the community. We recently served over 200 using a Garaway theme,” Owens said.

Owens said they worked for two months to get the diner ready to open for business. It formerly housed the Honey Bee Café and Campbell Creek Pretzels. Inside are several booths that were located at the former Beachy Swiss Chalet restaurant. The interior is decorated in Garaway Schools colors of red and blue along with added memorabilia. There are 12 employees. Siera Romig does the baking and manages the servers. The diner seats 82 customers.

Owens was concerned about the parking at the restaurant. Sugarcreek Council agreed to add a handicapped parking place on Ohio 93 and open another parking space at the bottom of the hill. He said when nearby businesses are closed, customers can park in those lots.

One of the favorites of customers is the Wreck, which has potatoes, eggs, green peppers, mushrooms, cheese and choice of meat with homemade sausage gravy on top. Several popular items are the fish sandwich or fish dinner, which includes French fries and coleslaw; the Funky Burger with bacon, Swiss cheese and peanut butter; and the Angry Pirate Burger with pepper jack cheese, onion rings and jalapenos topped with homemade hot sauce. Also on the menu are a variety of muffins, coffee cake and homemade Texas sheet cake with peanut butter frosting. Specials are offered every day.

“I had some local customers ask me why I named the breakfast dish the Wreck. They told me in 1988 there was a serious Shanesville wreck at this intersection,” he said. “I had no idea but decided to keep the name.”

Frye has worked in the restaurant business since she was 14 and loves what she does. She is excited to partner with Owens in this new venture. Prior to purchasing Rosalie’s, she washed dishes at the restaurant.

“I manage Rosalie’s, and Ray manages the day-to-day operations at the Mill Street Diner. I stop in and help when I can. I often pick up supplies for him,” she said.

The diner is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

On Oct. 21 and each Monday, the diner will be open until 7 p.m. The Monday menu will include wings and hamburgers.

Today we took old Karen on a spin. We left this morning and made a few stops along the way. We couldn’t have picked a better day.
Leisurely days are so good for the soul! Going for a long drive will clear your mind and reset your blood pressure I’m sure of it! My only request was Raven's Glenn Winery & Restaurant for a late lunch and some back roads I’ve never been on.
It was the best day!

The leaves aren’t nearly as vibrant as last years foliage but they’re still beautiful! We’ve had years where the leaves were mostly gone by this time so you just never know!
This time of year we notice more traffic on our road, people cruising by to check out the gorgeous scenery! Our road (TR 416) is on a ridge so you’ll see plenty of hills and valleys below. So pretty🧡
