Subzero Ice Cream: It’s Magic!

By

I'm not that complicated of a girl. I like good ice cream. I like trying new things. I like adventures. I love spending time with my husband, Bobby. So when you wrap all that up into a date, you're talking about a real winner. That is what happened on July 3, 2016, when we took an impromptu trip to Subzero Ice Cream & Yogurt shop in Wadsworth, Ohio. Alright, I have to be honest (I am my mother's daughter) I have experienced something like Subzero Ice Cream before. It was on a trip to … [Read more...]

Great Date Night: Wadsworth, Ohio Edition 

By

I should start my post with explaining that any time I get to spend with my husband, Bobby, it is always great. However some times the best dates aren't planned, but just turn out great. That is exactly what happened on Sunday, July 3, 2016 in Wadsworth, Ohio. The date actually started when we went to our friends, Thomas and Jessica Robinson's house for a quick visit. While there Jessica showed us around. She and Thomas had moved in at the beginning of the year, but were doing renovations … [Read more...]

Hartzler’s Family Dairy: Wholesome, Good Ice Cream

By

I don't know how many times I have driven north on State Route 3 out of Wooster, but rarely is there a time (during business hours) that Hartzler's Ice Cream Shoppe has an empty parking lot. I am usually on my way somewhere, so I haven't been able to stop by to try them at the shop. (I do visit them during the Wayne County Fair.) That is until Friday, June 24, 2016, which was due to the fact that my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came for a visit. My husband Bobby's brother,  Carmine, … [Read more...]

A Pleasant (and Filling) Evening in Richmond, Virginia

By

This should be the final installment of our Richmond, Virginia trip (but Bobby informs me it won't be, because we did stop in Charlottesville, VA on the way home). For those of you just joining us, my husband, Bobby and I took a whirlwind road trip to Richmond so that we could visit the set of Mercy Street, a PBS/Lone Wolf Media medical drama that centers around the Civil War. Bobby was interviewing Dr. Tony Tizzano for The Daily Record. I went just to cross it off of my bucket list. The … [Read more...]

Sine: “This is It!” A Great Irish Pub in Richmond, Va.

By

As I shared in a previous post, my husband, Bobby and I made a speedy trip (relatively speedy) to Richmond, Virginia. Because of his job with the Daily Record in Wooster, Ohio and his connection with Dr. Tony Tizzano, of The Cleveland Clinic Wooster, we were able to visit the set of the PBS/Lone Wolf Media original series, Mercy Street, a civil war-era medical drama. While we were in town, we stayed at the Residence Inn in Downtown Richmond, which fortunately is within walking distance of … [Read more...]
