We're back with another installment of Best Day Ever, our feature highlighting how local movers and shakers spend their time in Central Ohio.
What's happening: Angie Plummer is the executive director of Community Refugee & Immigration Services (CRIS), which helps new refugees and immigrants resettle in our area.
- Here's how Plummer would spend her perfect day in Columbus.
🎵 Music to start your day: Ideally, I'd sleep in late and start my day listening to All Sides with Ann Fisher on WOSU.
☕ Breakfast: Coffee in bed made from Stauf's Colombian French roast beans, a croissant from Dan the Baker and some fruit in-season from the Clintonville Farmers Market.
🎾 Morning activity: Tennis with my husband and kids, if I can convince them to go!
- We play at Northam Park in the summer and either Olympic Indoor Tennis or the Players' Club during the winter.
🍽 Lunch: A CRIS potluck at our new office.
- There's nothing like home cooks from all over the world making the best food right here in Columbus. The possibilities are endless.
🌹 Afternoon activity: Walking the dogs around the block, then a walk with my husband from our house to the Whetstone Park of Roses.
- This routine helped me through the pandemic, instilling a sense of calm in a turbulent time.
🍝 Dinner: La Tavola for prosciutto crostini, autumn salad and gnocchi with butter and Parmesan — and certainly a Chianti.
✈️ Evening activity: If there are refugees arriving at the airport whose cases I've worked on, I'll head there to greet them.
- Otherwise, I'd wind down by reading (I'm currently halfway through "The Goldfinch") or rewatching "Lupin" on Netflix.
- It's always best to end the day with a quick goodnight text exchange with my kids away at college.
