My dad, Warren (Bud) Breese, is mostly the kind of man that goes with the flow of things. When asked what he wants for Christmas or Father's Day, he usually says, "world peace." I know, he doesn't ask for a lot--so we usually give him a trivia game or book or take him to the movies. But the point is, when he asks specifically for something, it is a rare occasion. (One caveat, in case my mother contests this, I'm speaking from a daughter's point of view.) So on Saturday, February 6, 2016 when he … [Read more...]
Wendi and the Chocolate Factory
A recent trip to North Canton allowed my husband, Bobby and I a tour of Harry London's Chocolate Factory. I didn't even need a golden ticket! In fact, anyone can tour the factory if you visit it on a weekday. The tours begin at 10 a.m. and are every hour until 4 p.m. When we arrived, we were given the opportunity to enjoy one of Harry London's signature chocolates, the Buckeye. We were about 20 minutes early for the next tour at 1 p.m., so we perused the retail store. There we were given … [Read more...]
Books, Nooks and Cooks
Sometimes my day trips turn out to be half day trips. And when I am close to home, they might even be less than that. This is the case of my most recent visit to Downtown Wooster. I recently wrote about how my husband, Bobby, and I had lunch with Marty Starkey, the executive director of the Wayne County Convention and Visitors Bureau. We met at Broken Rocks Cafe, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. You can read more about our visit with Marty here. After we had lunch, Bobby and I … [Read more...]
The Guide to the Universe (If Wayne County is Your Universe)
My husband, Bobby, and I had the opportunity to do a little more exploring of downtown Wooster last Friday, January 29, 2016. I'll be writing about that in another post. However, before we embarked, we enjoyed sharing a meal with the Executive Director of the Wayne County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Marty Starkey, at Broken Rocks Cafe. Lunch was very good. Our intention, or maybe I should say Bobby's intention, was to get Marty's advice on my blog. Because it's about visiting … [Read more...]
The Sweetness of Doing Nothing…Or Blogging
When my husband, Bobby, and I got married, almost 21 years ago, I was a different person. I was a perfectionist with a streak of anal retentiveness mixed with a huge helping of anxiety and worry. If things weren't perfect...if I wasn't perfect it was a tragedy. Fast forward 21 years and I have changed...for the better, I think. I no longer get stressed out if I'm not early to a function. I can let myself go to bed with the kitchen in disarray. I can enjoy just relaxing while the house is … [Read more...]
