Pediatrician Dr. Katelyn Oostra really knows her stuff (smile)

I can’t help myself … but when your daughter is the one the news goes to for summer heat and kids advice … a dad is super proud.
Weekend chores rewarded with granddaughter fun at the zoo
RichC | June 11, 2018
As usual the spring pine pollen left a mess of the patios and any furniture left outside. The annual chore of power-washing and cleaning our outdoor living space seems to get tougher every year … and the moving of furniture on and off the patio heavier. Nevertheless, I completed the project after a full day […]
If laughter is good medicine, we are pretty drugged up :-)
RichC | January 27, 2018
Brenda and I had a great time visiting with Katelyn, Drew and Annalyn this past week as they invited us up to see the comedian/ ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. We have all been to his show before and I believe this was Katelyn’s 3rd time? Our previous was years ago in a much smaller venue, acomedy […]
Katelyn & Drew are rekindling my connection to Toledo, Ohio
RichC | December 28, 2017
My daughter and son-in-law, who moved back to Ohio in 2017, send me occasional updates from my "birth" city and the surrounding area. This past week the Toledo Blade reflected on 2017 in the "glass city" with its Finding Nellie illustration and included the Promedica Promenade Park revitalization … with Drew’s dad dancing in the […]
A couple doctors back to the hospitals that cared for me
RichC | September 12, 2017
I do my best to keep the goings-on activities of Taylor, Katelyn and Drew up to date, so here’s a promotional update after a move back to Ohio from Minnesota for my daughter Katelyn’s new pediatric practice in Oregon, Ohio. Need a pediatrician? It is a bit weird for having been born in Toledo where […]
Remembering Summer and my childhood on Lake Erie #TBT
RichC | August 31, 2017
As I reflect on this past weekend with family and as summer comes to a close, a Throwback Thursday #TBT mental image and old photo reminds me of just how idyllic my own childhood was. Brenda and I hope we replicated that for our own children and are now doing our best to be the […]
A quick visit to Perrysburg Ohio to see Katelyn, Drew and Annalyn
RichC | July 6, 2017
It is time to play a little catch-up again with the blog after the 4-day long Independence Day or Fourth of July weekend. Brenda worked a few of the hours so it did limit travel to a couple of days, but after talking with Katelyn and Drew it worked out well for us to drive […]
Our family settling into a new city with a house of their own
RichC | July 2, 2017
In keeping with yesterday’s post about Katelyn, Drew and Annalyn moving back to Ohio from Minnesota, part of the plan and process was to try to find and close on a house so they could move straight from their Wayzata rented house to one of their own … no double move. The process wasn’t as […]
Babysitting duty and exploring where I grew up
RichC | May 2, 2017
Brenda and I met Katelyn, Drew and Annalyn in Toledo this past weekend. Their reason to be in Toledo was to look at houses for their upcoming move back to Ohio from Minneapolis, MN … it is official now! Our reason for driving up from Cincinnati was to babysit our granddaughter on Sunday and take […]
Together with Katelyn and Drew for their baby reveal [video]
RichC | November 8, 2016
The highlight of this past weekend was in getting together with the Oostra family on a sunny and beautiful Sunday afternoon where Katelyn and Drew had a “Baby Oostra” reveal party. A popular trend nowadays is for young couples to make the gender reveal “an event” … and creativity seems to be the key. A […]
Thanks for the memories: Jim Raab
RichC | August 24, 2015
It is not one of the better quality photos, but my brother Ron (right) sent me a “guess who this is” photo from a trip he took this past weekend. At first I didn’t know who was in the photo with him, but after a close look at the background I deduced that it was […]
Can downtown Toledo follow the urban revitalization trend?
RichC | January 8, 2015
The answer is YES if ProMedica’s President and CEO Randy Oostra has anything to say about it (video below). The company plans to move their corporate headquarters to the abandoned historic Toledo Edison Steam Plant property on the Maumee riverfront in a bold move which will play a significant role in boosting the local Toledo […]
