Hometown Moments

A. I. Root Company is a candle company that was founded her in Medina. Amos I. Root was a manufacturing jeweler that in 1869 became the owner of a beehive. Originally he sold honey and honey candy as a hobby and then became one of the leaders in bee keeping in the 1800's and 1900's.
The candles at A.I.Root Company are beautiful and smell wonderfully. While we walked through the show room we saw so many types, colors, shapes, and smells of candles. These candles are used by Oprah and Michelle Obama. The top picture of this post is of the rejected candles are are sold in the warehouse. I forgot to take any picture of the candles in the showroom.
For lunch we went at a diner just down the street from SM's work. A diner called Dan's Dogs. They sell all kinds of hot dogs.
Above you see two of the hot dogs eaten that day. These were SM's hot dogs. You will notice the hot dog closest to the front is a peanut butter and jelly hot dog. I also took a bite of this hot dog and was surprise that is was actually very good. The peanut butter makes the hot dog!

And here's the group! Family, thanks for coming and thanks for all the fun times!
