Thinning of the Veil
October brings the "thinning of the veil" between the spirit world and those of us still on earth...it is a time when our 2 worlds seem to touch....when we are most open and receptive to the more subtle energies around us.
Harrison House has been "alive" with spirited visitors this month. Guests have reported bedroom doors ajar in the morning, positive that they shut and locked the doors at night. A man was heard whistling at 2am. Two guests swear they felt someone in the shower with them. My daughter asked me to knock before entering her room...I had not be upstairs all morning!
Time to fess up...Harrison House is indeed "haunted!" 4 active spirits have been identified as permanent residents of the B&B.
Cedric is very social and often joins us for breakfast. He is a smoker and cannot seem to remember NOT to smoke in the house. Guests often comment on the smell of a faint odor of cigarette or cigar smoke in the 2nd floor sitting area. Cedric is often seen with a young boy nicknamed Moby.
The 3rd floor attic was Moby's playroom, lead soldiers were his favorite toys. The attic space is now a guest room and people leave behind special items...there are 23 soldiers, a motorcycle, seashells and numerous other memorabilia. Moby is very playful and often pops out of the foyer closet.
Our 3rd resident is Jakob...a quiet bi-polar fellow unless he is riled up...Jakob runs through the halls of the 2nd and 3rd floors, knocks into furniture and is the one I suspect who pulls paintings off the walls. Thankfully he is generally pretty quiet.
Our 4th spirit is Nancy, the matriarch of the the house. I have been told that she actually "found" me and brought me to Harrison House in 2006 to be the new owner. Thank you Nancy, I have had the best 5 years meeting guests, experimenting with new breakfast entrees and living in this exquisite home!

Columbus Museum of Art free for summer
Museum of Art goes free for summer thanks to grant
Business First - by Adrian Burns
Date: Friday, June 17, 2011, 2:54pm EDTLove art? Want to do something indoors to beat the heat?
Then the Columbus Museum of Art
might be the activity for you this summer. It’s offering free admission in July and August – an offer that even includes special exhibitions. Funding from the PNC Foundation made the free admission possible, the museum said.
A visit will be a special treat for anyone who hasn’t been to the museum in awhile, since it underwent a $6.9 million renovation in 2010 and reopened in January.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., except for on Thursdays, when it stays open until 8:30 p.m.

Middle West Spirits
Meet OYO
Our flagship spirit is named after the original word for the Ohio River Valley (“O-Why-O”) and is a smooth, full-bodied vodka brimming with character. Made from local, soft red winter wheat, OYO demonstrates a perfect balance of cutting-edge technology, old-world traditions, and the finest, farm-fresh ingredients. OYO makes an excellent sipping vodka, as well as a perfect pairing for mixers and culinary creations.
We visited this wonderful micro-distillery...had a tour of the facility and taste tested their wonderful vodkas...OYO Vodka and OYO Honey Vanilla Bean...both proved to taste above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend a visit when you are in Columbus
