Rick Metz Developer: A Firm Foundation Show with Rick and Jackie

Hello,   on a cold,  dark,  snowy,  late December night in Ohio.   We were just talking this afternoon,  after two nights already below zero,  that this is the same pattern that settled into Ohio in the winter of ’77,   (the year before the blizzard of ’78).   About 40 days of cold,  below zero,  and cold highs,  with abut 626 frozen water service lines to houses in Bowling Green we have never seen anything like it since!

This last Saturday of the year,  N. W. Ohio’s most trusted hosts welcome Shaun Hegarty,  13abc,  anchor and investigative reporter back to the program as feature guest.   Shaun will review the top 10 local news stories of 2017,  and time permitting maybe the top two or three of his investigative reports.

The program starts Saturday at 9:00 am. ,  Sunday’s program starts at 7:00 am. . . live and local at  1370 WSPD,  streamed live at:  wspd.com or conveniently anywhere on your I-Phone with the I-Heart media app.

Christmas Day we set up a cookie factory in the kitchen with two helpers,   Mom and Ilse.

Happy New Year to all!      R &  J

Holiday season is in full swing!

Hi Friends,   holiday parties every night this week,   last night at the long term care facility with Mom,  picture attached,  and that happens to be the subject of this Saturday’s radio show,  “Holidays in a Long Term Care facility”.    Joining us live this Saturday our friends from Genacross Lutheran Services will share with us how they try to make this a special occasion for everyone,  the residents,  the other family members, and at this occasion young children more than any other time of the year.    And sadly there are many residents that don’t have anyone to share this event with,  certainly an opportunity for people to come and join in on the fun!!!!
