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...]
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...]
It’s Fair to Say Owney Likes the Fair(grounds)
Being a dog, at least with my parents, Bobby and Wendi Warren, is a pretty cushy affair. I am basically spoiled and pampered every day of my life. I heard them talking about a Facebook post about some dog saying getting adopted from the humane society is like winning the lottery. I would agree! There are no better parents for me, than mine. But even though I know that, I was blown away on Saturday, January 23, 2015. That was the day they took me for the first time to the Wayne County … [Read more...]
I Found Great New York Bagels in Wooster, Ohio, at This Place …
Growing up in Revere, Mass., one of my best friends was Jay DellaPorta. I don't remember where his mother, Linda, would get bagels, but she would give us some of the best bagels around. (Update: Linda informed me it was Katz Bagel Bakery in Chelsea, Mass.) These bagels, with the crisp, crunchy exteriors and toothy, chewy middles, made it hard for me to eat store-bought bagels. True bagels are boiled; mass-produced bagels are steamed. Trust me, there's a difference. My wife, Wendi, … [Read more...]
