Guggisberg Cheese Factory

Front of
Guggisberg Cheese Factory
Millersburg, Ohio

Guggisberg Cheese Factory is located in the heart of Ohio’s Amish Country. My daughter and I had the privilege to visit Guggisberg Cheese Factory April of 2012 while visiting maternal cousins.

Alfred Guggisberg came to America, in 1947, from Switzerland to pursue his dream of cheesemaking. When he arrived in the United States, he settled in Holmes County, Ohio. He began by creating Baby Swiss cheese, known for its smaller holes and milder flavor. Now world-famous and a household name, Baby Swiss is a true product of Ohio’s Amish Country.

Guggisberg Cheese, especially their Baby Swiss, is a favourite of cheese lover’s everywhere. [I am not fond of cold cheese, but I love all the cheeses made by The Guggisberg Cheese Factory including the goat cheeses.] One sample of any Guggisberg Cheese and you’ll understand why they’re award-winning quality. Guggisberg Cheese has been the winner of the Ohio Grand Champion Cheesemaker title numerous times and their Baby Swiss is recognized as the “best cheese in the country.”

When visiting the Guggisberg Cheese Factory, besides sampling their cheese products, you may watch firsthand how Guggisberg Cheese is made and understand how it has become world famous. They have over 60 varieties of cheese to choose from. It was our good fortune to discover that the cheeses Guggisberg Cheese manufactures have always been and always will be lactose-free. This is possible by their process of converting lactose to lactic acid, and their special cultures which utilize or consume the lactose during the cheese-making process. [My daughter is lactose intolerant so this which a wonderful discovery.]

Here is a list of cheeses which are safe for the lactose-intolerant:

• Premium Swiss
• Baby Swiss
• Amish Butter Cheese
• Lacerne
• Vintage Select
• Emmental

Guggisberg Cheese offers other products other than cheese such as Trail Bologna, Beef Jerky, Pepperoni Sticks, Summer Sausage, and fruit preserves for cheese.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit Ohio’s Amish Country, I would highly recommend stopping by and paying a visit to the Guggisberg Cheese Factory.

2024 CWWC: My Which Way — Any Paved Road with cars, people, and/or snow

For this the last week of September and I light of the Effects of Hurricane Helene, I have chosen to choose a theme of Any Paved Roads where I am focusing on Paved Roads in Germany. I am challenging everyone to participate in this week’s Which Way Challenge by sharing your Paved Roads.

In the Winter of December 1978/January 1979 my parents flew over to Germany to visit my brother & his family. [My brother was stationed there for a few years while serving in the United States Air Force.]

Shown above are just a few of the Paved Roads my parents rode on while visiting with my brother in Germany. What kind of Paved Roads will you find to share with us? I hope y’all will share your Which Ways with us. Looking forward to Cee taking the Which Way Challenge back on in October.

Thank you for visiting and sharing my parents memories with me. They enjoyed their time in Germany, however, I do not recall seeing their slide photos before I began digitizing my Dad’s slides.

2024 RDP: Wednesday — 🦕 Dinosaur 🦖

Dinosaurs at

The Schiele Museum

How lovely to have the prompt of dinosaur. My grandson, Coleman, loves Dinosaurs. We’ve been fortunate this past year to live within a relatively short distance from the local Schiele Museum of Natural History. The most popular exhibits at The Schiele Museum are the Dinosaur exhibits. They are definitely Coleman’s favourites. Every year the Museum has a special Dinosaur Day. On Dinosaur Day, the museum has special activities and events for everyone to enjoy (especially the children) and participate.

Since Coleman loves Dinosaurs so much; we got him a dinosaur backpack, lunchbox, and matching bottle to use for school. We couldn’t forget to add dinosaur shirts, socks, and shoes. He loves all his dinosaur items, even his toy dinosaurs.

2024 Thursday Door & Monday Window #13

This is my Thirteenth installment of my combination of Thursday Doors & Monday Window featuring Antique Automobiles.

My dad loved cars shows, history, and anything to do with FORD. He started working for a FORD dealership while in high school in Great Falls, South Carolina. He worked there until he joined the United States Navy in 1948. After leaving the Navy, he again went to work for a FORD dealership. This time he worked of Pearson Ford in San Diego, California and continued working for FORD until he retired.

This week we are continuing with Antique Automobiles from the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation with four Antique Automobiles from 1903 – 1952. Displaying the Antique Automobiles from most recent to oldest.

1952 Hudson Hornet
1940 Chrysler Crown Imperial

An interesting fact about this 1940 Chrysler Crown Imperial is that it was an Official Parade Car which carried VIPs through New York City for almost 20 years.

It carried more than a hundred dignitaries including politicians, military leaders, diplomats. They rode in the car in ticker-tape parades through Manhattan’s famed “Canyon of Heroes.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ralph Bunche, Winston Churchill and A. Philip Randolph were just some of the parade car’s many distinguished passengers.

1938 Lincoln Model K
1903 Packard Model F “Old Pacific”

This 1903 Packard Model F is known as “Old Pacific.” In 1903 it became the second car to cross the United States.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the Antique Automobiles from the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. Next week I’ll be showing Automobiles from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. Till next time, stay safe. Stay Strong. Stay Enthusiastic and Stay Positive.

A Look Back at Penguins from 2017

Posting for Becky’s Squares-Seven for September Challenge and Bird of the Week LXXXII

One (maybe two) Penguins
One Penguin
Two Penguins
Two (maybe Three) Penguins

1(or 2) + 1 + 2 + 2 (or 3) = 7 (or 7)

While visiting the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, South Carolina we were able to observe the King Penguins. King Penguins have a mobile nest – right on top of their feet! Who would have guessed? The female will lay one egg and both parents will take turns incubating the egg by balancing it on top of their feet under a warm fold of skin.

King Penguin nest sites are on sub-antarctic islands surrounding Antarctica. They spend long stretches of time at sea. [Except those found in zoos like the Riverbanks Zoo.) They eat fish, krill, crustaceans, and squid.

Riverbanks Zoo supports penguins of all species by encouraging sustainable seafood consumption through Seafood Watch. Riverbanks’ Satch Krantz Conservation Fund and Field Conservation Associates have also supported sustainable guano harvest in Peru and chick bolstering and rehabilitation in South Africa.

A Bird’s Eye View — Judy’s Numbers Game #40

Judy’s The Numbers Game #40 is this week and this week’s number is 161. To play along, go to your photos file and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos you find under that number and include a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title.

This week in lieu of trying to find 161 in my photos, I have chosen a theme (instead of a single word) of A Bird’s Eye View. These were all taken by my dad from an airplane ✈️ in 1979 while flying back to San Diego from Germany.

Flashback Seven Years to 2017 —- A Fun Drive

Destination Fun

Blue Ridge Parkway

Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway from South Carolina to the Virginia Border and back down to Pisgah National Forest and then on into South Carolina once again was a trip I’ll always remember.

It has been seven years since I made that trip with my eldest son. We took the drive on his birthday weekend in October 2017. We stopped at various milestones along the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the beautiful views and tour a few different places along the route. We stopped at Stone Mountain State Park in Roaring Gap, North Carolina and hiked the Stone Mountain Loop Trail beginning at the Upper Trailhead. We continued driving the Blue Ridge Parkway once we left Stone Mountain State Park; we drove to Wilson, North Carolina (Wilson was my married name & the surname of my children.)

On the adventure South on the Parkway, we took a detour to my Cousin Jim’s Produce Market for some fresh produce & a break to stretch our legs. Before we arrived at Jim’s Produce, we stopped for a photo by the Doc and Merle Watson Highway sign ( Doc & Merle Watson are my fourth cousin & fourth cousin once removed respectively).

Venturing further south, we stopped at several more milestones to enjoy the beautiful scenery and views overlooking the valley. We stopped for supper at The Pisgah Inn’s restaurant. The food was delicious and the views were spectacular. The Pisgah Inn is located in the Pisgah National Forest amongst the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway (Blue Ridge Pkwy Milepost 408.6, Waynesville, NC).

It was a lovely and enjoyable trip, not just for the scenery, but always for the quality time spent with my son. Click on each photo for enhanced viewing. Have a wonderful day!

For this week in doing Cee’s Which Way My Way I’m choosing a theme of Any Which Way. Basically Any Which Way you choose; be sure we can see your Which Ways Clearly. And as always, signs are welcome anytime. I’d love for y’all to join me in posting your Which Ways you have Chosen to Share.

Road Trippin’ USA #6

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Pima Air & Space Museum

And Westward

In the Summer of 1985, my parents went Road Trippin’ across the United States of America. They began their Road Trip leaving from their home in San Diego, California. They always planned what or whom they wanted to visit ahead of time.

This week I’m continuing with their Road Trippin’ adventures for My Which Way of Cee’s Which Way Challenge in Tucson, Arizona at the Pima Air & Space Museum.

Last week we saw some of the sights my parents visited at the U.S. Air Force Academy. When they left Colorado behind to continue on their Road Trippin’ USA adventures, they drove south into New Mexico before continuing westward towards their home in San Diego, California.

On their way driving south to New Mexico, they stopped at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Montrose, Colorado.

Here are a couple of photos of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park they viewed from the North Rim of the Canyon. I’m sure besides enjoying the views, they were glad to stretch the legs before they proceeded driving again.

Next stop for them was to visit the Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

Onward and Westward, they continued driving westward upon leaving Carlsbad, New Mexico with one final stop before finishing their Road Trippin’ USA adventure. Their next and final stop before arriving back home was to tour the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona.

Thank you for tagging along with me on my parents Road Trippin’ USA Adventures. Cee will be back soon (I think beginning in October). Please continue showing us your which way adventures. Have a fantastic weekend.

2024 Weekend Sky #131: 09.16 — Rain ☔️ Rain 🌧️ Go Away

Not exactly a normal weekend, however, Monday’s are my daughter’s only day off, so it is her “weekend.” This was our view or perhaps lack of visibility yesterday while she was driving us home.

While rain is needed for plants to grow and the sustainability of earth and the world we live in, it also has its downsides. It isn’t pleasant to walk a child to and from school in the rain, but I do what I must. It isn’t easy to drive in a downpour with nearly zero visibility ( I’m glad I wasn’t driving). It isn’t easy keeping a child indoors when all he was to do is run, jump, climb, and play outdoors. Sometimes life isn’t easy, but we endure and carry on.

2024 Weekend FOTD: 09.14/15

Hypochaeris radicata

Taken at 4:27pm
Lancaster, South Carolina
Aka Flatweed, False Dandelion,
and Catsear

Hypochaeris radicata is a perennial, low-lying edible herb often found in lawns. Interestingly all parts of the catsear plants are edible even though the leaves and roots are the parts most often harvested. The leaves have a bland taste, but can be eaten raw in salads, steamed or used in stir-fries. If you care to try roasting and grounding the roots, they may be used as a coffee substitute.

2024 Thursday Door & Monday Window #11

This is my Eleventh installment of my combination of Thursday Doors & Monday Window featuring Antique Automobiles.

My dad loved cars shows, history, and anything to do with FORD. He started working for a FORD dealership while in high school in Great Falls, South Carolina. He worked there until he joined the United States Navy in 1948. After leaving the Navy, he again went to work for a FORD dealership. This time he worked of Pearson Ford in San Diego, California and continued working for FORD until he retired.

Last week I began posting Antique Automobiles from Washington D.C. and this week we are at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan.

This week we are continuing with Antique Automobiles from the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation with four Antique Automobiles from 1911-1929.
