Wendi decided it would be good to head up to Brandywine Falls in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. While we were in the area, we also wanted to find a nice little restaurant we could not frequent in Wooster. The Courtyard Cafe in nearby Brecksville received a lot of positive reviews on Yelp, so we entered the address into the GPS. We made our day trip on the first good day of spring, so Wendi wanted to eat our lunch in the courtyard. I figured since we were we were at the Courtyard Cafe, … [Read more...]

Falling for Brandywine Falls
Since I saw a Facebook post about the best waterfalls in Ohio, I have been looking forward to nice weather so I could start visiting them. Finally, Saturday, April 16, 2016, I got the opportunity to at least see one. We visited Brandywine Falls at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Sagamore Hills Township. On our drive there, Bobby read to me the blog Linda Hall wrote of her and her husband's hike to the falls. Her blog talked of taking a lengthy hike in which she eventually made it … [Read more...]

Smith Dairy in Orrville makes the ice cream sold under Buehler's name, as well as under its name and the Ruggles name. On a recent to trip to … [Read more...]
Wing-ing it in Wooster at C.W. Burgerstein’s
It has been about a year since Dan Starcher told my husband, Bobby, that the best place in Wooster, Ohio to get wings, is C.W. Burgerstein's. We have been frequent flyers for wing night ever since. Wednesday, April 13, 2016, was no exception. On Wednesday, they run a special on their chicken wings. Ten wings are $5.99 and 25 wings are $11.99. We always order the larger size, because they're that good and they reheat great. I ordered 25 traditional wings, half with Tribe Honey BBQ and half … [Read more...]
Owney Says Baths are for the Birds!
I love going to Lodi to visit my Border Collie cousins, Parker and Admiral Nelson. My dad, Bobby, calls us the black and white brotherhood. My Uncle Shaun is the best, too. I really enjoy just hanging out with him, either on the couch or on the deck. Whenever I see him, I have to jump all over him to show how excited I am to be there. My Aunt Randi is great, too. That is until she decides to take me to her basement. It is there where the torture takes place. In case you don't know, Aunt … [Read more...]
