Archive: A fun family discussion and not so fun surprise
Posted By RichC on March 22, 2026
Last week we had a fun family chat after Katelyn and Drew sent a photo of them eating out at Chilis after church on Sunday. It was nostalgic since our family regularly ate there after church … starting when we would drive 58 miles in NE Ohio.
A few year later, Chilis was a bit closer after we moved to the Cincinnati area; besides it was on our way home from church and next to a great bookstore. Another plus was that Brenda’s sister and her family enjoyed meeting us there as well – it became our spot (thanks Jeff for introducing us back in Orlando!) Good times and memories … even if my wife dislikes NASCAR driver Carson Hocevar who advertises Chilis (Brenda prefers Kyle Larson, but then who doesn’t?)
As for the “not so fun surprise” …
A crack appeared in a very large oak tree too close to KDAE’s house in Whitehouse, Ohio. After seeing the photo (and scary video below) … they immediately called a tree service who had just been in their neighborhood. An experienced tree guy came out that night, added a chain to help give it support in the wind … and was out on Tuesday with his crew to remove the tree. Good thing as it had rot inside and was not as solid as it initially looked. All is well now … except their wallet. 😉
