A TRIP TO OHIO | MY PARENT'S HOME IS GONE | WEEK IN OUR LIFE AS MENNONITES

[@sarahludos7970]

I was so sad to see your folks house demolished. It made me cry! Thankful to God that they were not injured during the hurricane. He gives us so much grace to deal with life’s struggles.

[@mruggier0]

Aww who else had tears for this family? Sad but they are alive and well. The house can if they choose can be rebuilt. Thinking of your family and everyone who was affected by Debbie and Helene.

[@maryannbeachy1512]

I love your pictures of the beautiful fall colors against that blue sky!

[@laurale8299]

So very sad to see your parents' house being demolished. Your mother seems to be very strong. May God bless them. I'm glad you and Nick have close friends to enjoy life with. The trees are beautiful in Ohio.

[@soniaallen1476]

I so loved the footage of Ohio. I worked at the OSU hospital as a younger woman, but never went to a game! I actually was in Columbus that day but on the far east side for a party at my nephew's home. A lot of the homes in German village have turned into Air B&Bs. My brother once owned a home there and it was so unique, but he now lives along the river in Upper Arlington. Just love when you take us along but love the most seeing your children. They seem so happy!

[@cherylbarlow4284]

When I saw the huge steak on the cutting board, I knew it belonged to Nick. I smiled through this whole video. Lynette you look beautiful in red. Thanks for sharing. May he continue to bless you all. 🥰

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

Oh! Lynette!! This made me so very homesick for FALL in Ohio!! There is just NOTHING like it anywhere! Thank you for sharing! Prayers for your momma & daddy. I truly understand how they feel. It does get better!! ♥️ & 🙏🏻

[@IMOO1896]

Heartbreaking to watch, can’t imagine the grief to experience it.

[@KathyBacso]

Thank you. Very very sad about storms, To menny hurrican in Florida. The best to move from Florida out. Take care . God bless u all.

[@lindagailsch]

So hard seeing the house demolished but I'm glad they have found something else where new memories will be made. What a lovely video. Very much enjoyed.

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺 It was sad to watch your parents house be demolished but I know it had be done. New beginnings! Thank you for showing all the beautiful fall colors! 🌺💐♥️

[@carlynbray3495]

Wonderful video! So glad for the update on your Mom & Dad also enjoyed the game, so glad you showed the Band.i played in the Band from 6th-12th grade. Still lifting the storm victims up in prayer.

[@tracewalker8772]

So sad about your parents house, but God will bless them with new memories in their new house! Ohio sure look beautiful, those leaves😍 Thanks Lynette 🌵💕🌵💕🌵

[@beatricemoore644]

Thanks for sharing beautiful, sad, new beginnings all in one. Prayers for your parents. ❤

[@gramnenew6196]

I so enjoy every vlog Lynette. We can all feel what a wonderful person you are. How lovely it would be to meet you out and about. Little chance of that with all the states in between Idaho and Florida. 😌 Im so saddened by the devastation of the hurricanes. How brave you all are to remain living there. The game looked like a blast!! Until next time friend, take care. ❤

[@tammyleviner3070]

Good morning Lynette. They're still pumping out some of the flooded areas here, and just last week they started cutting up all the fallen trees & getting the smaller limbs & brush out to the street for pick up. But the streets are so lined with debris & brush, its definitely going to take awhile to get it a cleaned up! There are a ton of the retirement or senior living little neighborhoods here, and those and a lot of the sub-divisions like the one we live in have the white privacy fence around them. This week there were several places that started putting the fences back up. But there's still quite a but of clean up to do here. Which mall was that? Oh how i would love to go back & visit in Tennessee within the next couple weeks! Not only is it beautiful there right now but to have some nice cool weather would be awesome! I don't particularly care for freezing weather, but i would rather be cold than hot! I love the 50's, that's my fav temp range! And honestly, I will miss the snow.🫤 I just loved being in with the fireplace going and curling up with a hot cup of coffee watching it fall! The flakes are huge sometimes & absolutely gorgeous.. watching them fall was magical! I live was born & raised in NC& moved to TN 6yrs ago. So I've always had fall, just much more beautiful in TN. This will be the first year i haven't had a real fall in my lifetime! That's just crazy to think of. The red & orange is just stunning! Those really red maples like there by the water at 17:50..are 'Fire Maples’! We planted A nice size one on our property back in NC the year we moved there. It was all woods & we cleared just over an acre for the yard & planted the trees we wanted. It got really big before we sold the place. Such a stunning tree in the fall! Really nice airbnb! The nicest one we stayed in was in Naples 2yrs ago. It was gorgeous! On one side there were 1 really large king with a luxury on suite which was our room, one king & a hall bath, the other side had one king and one room with 3 bunks one shared bath. Plus we took air mattresses. A Huge living room with 2 pull out couches, really nice kitchen & big laundry room. A sun room & the pool out back was heated & had all the lights that turned colors. There was A gazebo & pic nic table with the round tree swing. Oh I just loved that place! We were there A week with our recovery home guys, 17 of us in total, for a church revival our supporting ministry was holding. We had A blast! I love your black booties! The chandeliers were gorgeous at the restaurant!😮 I love the big college bands. My husband & son are huge Minnesota Vikings football fans. They're coming to Jacksonville on the 10th & they've got their tickets! They've never been to a NFL game & seeing the vikings play has been my husbands dream! They've ordered crazy hats & different things, they both already had several tshirts & jerseys. But they're so excited! Lol hopefully they'll have some other Viking fans around them & not be a dot of purple in a sea of teal & gold!😬 So many gorgeous trees! I love maples in the fall! So glad you guys had a safe & fun trip! And thanks for sharing it with us😊 Pray you have a blessed weekend!🙏🏻

[@kareneakers9540]

So sad to see your mom and dad house being torn down, I can’t imagine Glad you got to enjoy the trip with your friends God bless

[@GeraldineFaherty]

moved to Sarasota one week ago from the Boston area Your family is so lovely so glad you have each other but I must say I cried watching your parent"s home be demolished. Your a family of strong faith God will help you get through this My continued prayers for all of you Geri from Sarasota

[@LynetteYoder]

🥲. Welcome to Sarasota!

[@BrLambert]

I grew up in Ohio and I miss the crunch of the leaves, the smells, and the slight chill (not freezing) and a jacket. Not to mention all the places. What a nice tradition you've started with your friends. O-H

[@janicecoulson5388]

We are planning a Florida trip next year. Haven't been for 15 years but we've saved up, best check the hurricane calendar first! I bet it's changed a lot. Love watching your videos

[@katetroyer9204]

I’m glad you had the chance to see Ohio again this Fall. It seemed the colors were especially brilliant and autumn lasted a little longer because we didn’t have much rain. This week the leaves are falling fast.

[@JackieFoster-zs8td]

Watching your family's home being torn down made me cry. We are still suffering from the hurricane that came through our part of South Carolina. I guess this pain is still just so fresh for all of us. May God continue to bless you and your precious sweet family

[@LynetteYoder]

Aww I’m sorry 😭 I’m sure it is very real and raw!!

[@normalopezingle7732]

I really needed your video feeling really down. My son and grandson went back to Australia where they currently live. Its always so hard saying bye see you again :)

[@susanpatterson2737]

My heart goes out for your parents seeing there home demolished. Loved all the fall colors and what a fun trip you all had.😊

[@wendyrumbel4354]

It was so nice to see you and Nick have a getaway trip to spend some much needed alone time. You both work so hard. It was sad to see your parents home getting demolished. Thanks for sharing your life with us. God Bless your Beautiful family.

[@Mommee77]

Thanks for the memories ! When I was a kid there was a little donut shop that stayed open till 9 pm on Halloween, your donuts and cider reminded me of cold cider and warm glazed donuts after Trick or Treat❤❤❤

[@cowtownjanet4450]

I just connected the dots. When my husband was in Marine flight school we had a friendship with another classmate and his wife. He talked a great deal about his college days and bragged all the time about “script Ohio” (which referred to their awesome band. So when you talked about the “Buckeyes” I didn’t relate until this beautiful video you showed us of the Ohio State University Band. Then I assumed that is wat our friend referred to as “Script Ohio”. Brought back a few memories from 1970.

[@LynetteYoder]

So neat!!

[@KDVoller]

Nebraska here, You all chose a wild game to go to.. I always do all of my shopping while the Huskers are playing. I will say I love Ohio States marching band.

[@LynetteYoder]

Right? That game was crazy! And yeah, it is a great band 🥁!

[@charmiestarcher9845]

Thanks for an awesome video Lynette. Kinda sad about your mom and dad’s house.😢

[@lesliedavis6081]

Our daughter lives in Columbus. She went to Ohio State. She and her hubby have two little girls, so when we come and stay to visit, we stay in German Village. We love it! Go Buckeyes!

[@joyarnett6570]

It has been a beautiful fall this year very warm im in Kentucky.....😊

[@susanseifert925]

So sad to see your parents house being demolished.☹️ WOW, what a nice weekend away. Fellowship and the fall colors were spectacular. Until next year….. Thank you for sharing😁

[@debracubitt6191]

I am so very thankful your parents and your family are safe, Lynette . It is very sad to watch the demolition of their house. Praise God they have a new place to live. We say thank you and praise you Jesus. Hallelujah ❤

[@marshahodgkins9215]

Just a Maine girl living in Florida and I really miss the leaves, the crunchy sounds when you take a walk. So glad you get a week each year to enjoy the season.

[@cookiecutter5333]

Absolutely love your wholesome videos. Thanks so much!

[@janetbradbury5021]

I love the joyful way your daughters have with each other?!

[@MaureenDrees]

What a beautiful fall weekend for a get-away!

[@gaylemesserschmitt2344]

What a great game you saw!! Go Bucks!!!! Love, love the OSU Band! Love Fox In The Snow…..Yum! My son lives in New Albany and all three sons graduated from OSU…we love Columbus! What a great weekend all of you had!!!!

[@mariannewaszak8253]

Sad about your parents house.....your trip looked like so much fun : )

[@janh519]

We’re very sorry about the storms and the loss of your parents’ property. Hopefully, they will either build back there higher and better or choose another suitable location. Very happy that you had a nice time here in Columbus at the OSU game! We enjoy all of the home games and watch and also enjoy the away games. Glad you had a nice weekend here and had a safe trip home!

[@grisespino5342]

Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. Amazing! Could you share how you go about planning a trip. You find the best places! It really would be helpful. Much love to your parents.

[@sydneykasmar]

Ohio is such a pretty state but boy oh boy those trees in the fall are so beautiful.

[@shell51569]

I had no idea that Columbus was such a beautiful city! I am originally from Indiana living very near you in Florida. I haven't been back up north in years. It looks like you all had a great time! So sorry to see your parents home demolished. I'm sure it was very hard for them and you. Thanks for sharing your Ohio trip and updating us on your family.

[@LoriFugate]

Interesting video, l love the different hats you wear Lynette !!! I'm a hat woman myself, so sad to see all the devastation from the storms.?

[@Anagrams458]

It looked like you had so much fun with your friends. Nice to have a bit of a holiday.

[@nmiller6784]

Thanks for the sneak peek into Buckeye land. Very cool to see. I'll pry never go unless my kids drag me there. 😅

[@Lisa9380HW]

Fellow Buckeye here, nothing like those Saturday games. Thanks for sharing and GO BUCKS !!!!

[@conniesmith3922]

Lynette, so glad you and Nick were able to get away and have some fun with friends. Looks like a great time.❤❤❤

[@bettyangstadt4242]

So nice that you and Nick had a beautiful get away to Columbus, Ohio. Our daughter lives there and works at Ohio State … so I’m familiar with a lot of places you visited. We had a beautiful Fall season back north here, fall colors are hanging on but we know things can change overnight this time of year. Your mom is such a sweet lady, she always looks on the positive side of things. I bet they will end up building something on the lot…she sounded like she is not ready to give up on that location….good for her! 💕

[@IrisAugustHill]

Love your videos Lynette, but watching Ohio State is painful! 😜 Michigan Wolverines, Go Blue! 💙💛 Really though, looked like y'all had a fun time!

[@karenswartz8280]

Loved seeing your trip to Ohio-native Ohioan myself, living near Lake Erie in the Northwestern part of the State. I lived in Columbus for a short time, In Worthington- beautiful town with lots of grand old houses, and lots of history. I’m so glad you were able to get away with Nick, and your friends, for some time to recharge your batteries, so to speak, and leave the sadness, and destruction behind, even if just for a weekend. ❤️

[@dianevaness4776]

Sarasota is one of my favorite places in Florida. Our son did his fellowship at Sarasota memorial hospital. Because they had 4 young children we rented for 6 months just to help our daughter in law out with the toddlers and baby’s. Found a great church to go to. Just great memories!

[@EHFloridaDream]

I live near Washington CH and go to Holmes Country often. The Carmel donuts are the best, but you have more will power than i do!!!!! I finish the whole donut.

[@LindaHostetler-k1u]

Love your videos! Saw a lot of familiar sights in your Columbus trip.😊 I have cancer and my treatments are all at The James. We have spent a lot of time in the hospital and also stayed down there while getting my radiation treatments. When I had my leg amputated my room overlooked the shoe but that was in February so they werent playing. 😏 Looked like a wonderful time!😊

[@jenniferestep6263]

Laughter video look like you had a really good time and the trees oh my gosh they were so beautiful. Hope all is well when you got back home I’m sure the kids missed you. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.❤❤❤❤❤

[@LynetteYoder]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@whatever007ism]

Thank You for a wonderful video and Ohio State too!! We have CJ Stroud here with us on the Texans team. They’re a little rough on the edges but they’ll get it figured out. Ohio in the fall is just incredible. So glad you had perfect weather with a nice fall chill in the air. ❤

[@momrow10]

Nice video today. I’m in Kentucky so we have the turning leaves and cool temps right now. We hope to make a trip to Sarasota soon to visit my brother. Thanks for sharing your family with us. Always a pleasure to see. ❣️

[@judithmelanson2460]

So sorry to see this happening! Be praying for them to rebuild!

[@LynetteYoder]

They bought another house actually. ☺️

[@DebraE.Carlson]

I so enjoy your channel. I just bought Hope's Table, the cookbook you refer to. I am excited to use it. Very sorry about the loss of your parent's home. New memories to be made in the new home for sure😊❤

[@kcotjo]

Greetings from the middle of Nebraska. Thankfully Ohio didn't beat up the Huskers too bad! What part of Nebraska were the David's from? I grew up knowing a David family from my hometown. I believe they moved up to Thedford, NE. Here in Nebraska we have had a glorious fall. The trail you showed is so very pretty! The fall foliage you filmed was gorgeous! So sad about your parents home but good to see they are moving forward. It's always fun to see your kids and how cute they are. Thank you for taking us along on your week and fun times! God Bless!!

[@dotgoodwin4312]

I live in North Platte and our son is in Ainsworth. Small world huh!

[@mireksip180]

I'm with you Lynette! Ohio in the fall is awesome!!

[@marciejones3538]

Oh dear! The hurricanes surely were mad! So glad you’re all okay. 😊

[@helenmchugh4632]

I live in Pennsylvania, and I would not change my four seasons for the world! Of course, my favorite season is the Fall🏈

[@lynbrowning8855]

Red looks good on you!!

[@JoycePringle-uc8zl]

I live in N.E. Ohio but never been to the Columbus area.Thanx for the take along.Your videos always makes me feel like I'm there.❤

[@josnnemangan.679]

Maybe we will see you in Charm at your cousins coffee shop. We live in Bay Village and go to Holmes a lot. Spent many winters in Punta Gorda and Siesta Key. Done with Florida as getting too old for the trip

[@Sabouma28]

Those fall colors 💗

[@joycehunt1307]

I know the actual tear down was hard for your family. You can mentally prepare but the reality is hard. We lost our place in Suwannee during the Storm of the Century in the 1993. The clean up was so hard physically and mentally. Wet couches are heavy! A friend told me to start a log of where the sun is at what time of the day and next year I'd have a better idea of where to locate my plants. She was right!

[@infinitelimitlesslightx5437]

You always make beautiful videos ❤. I'm sorry you got hit so hard by the storms there. Sending love and prayers 🙏

[@cherylweeden5106]

It looks like you had a beautiful trip. I live here in Ohio, but I live in Youngstown, but Ohio State games are always a blast to go to. Looks like you spent some great time with great family and friends.❤️❤️

[@dianelutz444]

You and Nick are adorable. It's nice you took some time for the two of you.

[@DonnaHarper-lg9pw]

Hope your mom & dad are doing well. I live in Western North Carolina. Thankfully we were so blessed. However our community did suffer a lot of power outages for almost 3 weeks. Just east and northeast of us there is so much devastation. What a great tradition going to a Buckeye game with friends each year. I’m sure the boys might want to go when they get a little older. Our fall colors are almost gone. Now to deal with all those leaves. 🍁 🍂🍁🍂🍁. It was so sad seeing the beaches & area near you. I’m originally from the Tampa area. See you again soon. 😊❤😊🙏

[@kathryngarcia8800]

I'm exercising my patience for debris pick up in Parrish. The piles are so high that sometimes it's hard to see traffic at stop signs (and some signs are missing). I would definitely like to try Pura Vida! I love all the different restaurants in the UTC area.

[@mrrs8118]

My 16 yo granddaughter (with her mom) stayed in a studio apartment on the Ohio State campus when participating in a fencing tournament. Cutest little apartments! I wonder if they were intended for parents of students/athletes. The apartment was very close to the fencing venue. I really enjoy watching the OSU band. The drum major is unbelievable!

[@susancoffman6516]

Your seats at the game were up behind our old season ticket seats. I was in the first row and my husband was right behind me in the second row. When the team ran out from the tunnel, the little boys and girls would come down beside me to try to get a hand slap from the players. Good times!

[@AZJH8374]

I missed you going to Grandma and Grandpa's home. Where your mom & dad visit & stay. I can't remember if they have a home there too. 🤔 God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ❤️ ✨️🎶💕💜🙏🏻📿✝️✨️

[@heatherdoolittle2204]

I thought I was so cool that you came to Columbus! I live near Dayton so I felt like you were in my neck of the woods. :) Love vlog style videos. So fun! Loved seeing all of your new clothes finds for the trip. I so wish I could find that black denim skirt you got at Kohl’s!!

[@BetsAnderson]

I was very sad at the start of your video... I enjoyed the rest of it. Thank you for sharing. You looked absolutely stunning the weekend. May God bless and protect you and your family all indeed. Love from South Africa ❤

[@ruthwarren8685]

Loved this! Oh my the fall colors are so beautiful! We aren’t getting so much fall color here in North Georgia just yet. Thanks for sharing your week!

[@ElaineGrover-be2bb]

Next year you might want to visit the new “tree canopy” at Blacklick Woods Metro Park. It’s very nice.

[@LynetteYoder]

Thanks for the tip! We should check it out 😊

[@shabbymaverick7975]

Blessings to your parents. I know they're strong - but still it's sad. Love the weekend to ohio🎉 you & Nick are such a cute couple❤ I so look forward to your videos Lynette Thank you for all you do ❤🎉

[@peterwhite9261]

I remember my mom would tell me, " One can never have enough friends," when I would discuss some disappointment I had had from one or another one of my friends. She would often say money can't buy love, but it is a good down-payment. We were doing dishes and a reporter on the news said it, so it kinda stuck with us. She was a very Holy Lady who raised 7 boys and one girl in a Avery cold winter and very hot summers in Labrador, NL. Awesome outdoor adventures there. It is becoming more touristy but in a very great way I just loved your time together with your friends. The kids welcomed you home with open arms and big smiles and hugs. So sweet! I am still praying hard for all of the victims from all of the floods. I also pray for world Pease. Diwali celebrations are the go. The fireworks sounds like a war zone. Other towns and cities have a bylaw I felt bad for your mom and dad as they leveled their home. I can sense the emotion in my heart and thoughts. I pray they can get supported and rebuild higher.❤

[@darlenemazurik4451]

Go Bucks!!! ❤ Nice one!

[@patriciareeps3389]

So sad to see your parents home destroyed, thankfully they have the means to get another place to live. My son lives south of there, his home was fine but the plantings and gardens were wiped out. Everything is coated with salt pellets and everything turned brown.

[@kimshaffer8787]

I only really pay attention to college football is when the Syracuse Orange play. Our daughter and son in-law met in the marching band at SU

[@SusanAylor-k5p]

You very much needed the rest of your trip. Too much stress ❤

[@angelinadrobina5037]

Goodness me what a spectacle that football game is ! My jaw is on floor here in Tasmania! America doesn’t do things by halves does it / amazing !

[@hminchella7423]

Lynette, I thought your high neck dark top really suited you. So elegant.

[@shariwagner3002]

👵💜 the sad part is there are memories being demolished also. More room for new.memories. Look at all the lives that were lost and still.missing.. My parents lived in Fort Myers for over 30 years as last year it was.all destroyed..Love and.positive.thoughts going your way💜👵

[@janicelabuda8540]

My Uncle Bill played football for Ohio State; glad they won the game.. Happy November! 🍁🍂🍁

[@jennellmutch9985]

Even though I am a maze n blue fan, I have to say michigan has been crappy this year as well ! I will stick behind them, but I have a feeling it's gonna be a couple years for us.

Thanks for sharing your weekend with us.

[@mariemiller2765]

We were at the Ohio State game too. Fun day

[@LynetteYoder]

👍🏽

[@IamSnowbird]

So sad about your parents house. I remember how hard you worked on it for them. I worry that with storms getting more violent and more frequent beach life might never fully return. Do you know how AMI made out? We used to stay there in the winter.

[@terrilongsdorf4145]

Thanks Lynn loved it love your channel.

[@susanguyer8146]

Looked like a wonderful weekend. 😊

[@Hope8x28]

We're a huge college football family. I am a Bana fan,my husband and sons are Michigan fans, and my daughter loves Penn State. That said,we all agree Ohio State has the best band in college football.
