When I started writing my blog post from the other day, Wednesday March 15th, 2017, I had anticipated writing a post about the Pleasant Hill Dam. What turned out to happen though was I got off on a tangent about taking pictures while Bobby drove the car. If you want to read about that Fiasco you can check it out here. So this is my attempt to write a blog post about Pleasant Hill Dam. The dam itself is actually not what I expected. I guess in my head, I thought it would be something like Hoover … [Read more...]

Photography on the Fly on the Way to Mohican Lodge
When my husband, Bobby, and I went to the Mohican Lodge and Conference Center, in February, we got there by going the long way. We saw the Gorge and the Covered Bridge that day. (You can read about those adventures here.) When we went to the Lodge for our anniversary earlier in March, we traveled a different way. The way we took, brought us right by the Pleasant Hill Dam. If you have ever spent any time reading this blog, you should have deduced that of the two of us, Bobby is the much … [Read more...]
Iconic New York Hotel Closes Indefinitely; Glad We Visited
Tony Rizzo, host of The Really Big Show on WKNR-850 AM, recently talked about how an iconic hotel was closing. Being the experienced radio host he is, Rizzo didn't name the hotel, rather he teased it ... letting us listeners know he would be talking about it after the break.

Come to find out, it is the Waldorf-Astoria. Wendi, my … [Read more...]
Owney Didn’t Want His Trip to Freelander Park to End
When my parents, Bobby and Wendi Warren, celebrated their anniversary, they let me go to one of my favorite vacation spots, Grandpa and Grandma's house. (You might know them better as Bud and Dolores Breese.) While I love staying there, I still miss Mom and Dad a lot. I think they miss me too, because we seem to do something special after they pick me up. (If it isn't dark and they're not too tired.) So on Sunday, March 5,they decided to take me to a place I have never been. They called … [Read more...]
Traversing the Trails to Lyons Falls in Mohican State Park
Back in February, my husband, Bobby, and I stumble upon the Mohican State Park Covered Bridge on one of our day trips. When I say stumbled upon, I mean we had no idea we would find it or that it would be right next to the trailhead for Lyons Falls and Pleasant Hill Dam. I would have probably encouraged Bobby to make the trek to the falls on that day, but we were not dressed for hiking in any way, shape or form! (I had dressed for a date out with Bobby, not for tromping in the woods.) Yet the … [Read more...]
