Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

A Weekend Away: Never How I Plan, but Always so Much Better

By

When my company, The Village Network, announced that it was going to hold an Employee Appreciation Dinner and Dance on Valentine's weekend (February 11, 2017) and that we could get a discount on our room at the Holiday Inn in Mansfield, Ohio, I jumped at the chance. My husband, Bobby, agreed it would be a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day. However, I couldn't just go to the hotel and event and be satisfied. No, not me! I thought we could make a whole day of it. The plan was to do something … [Read more...]

Owney says, “Bedford Reservation: A Great Place to Investigate.”

By

I'm what you would call a smart dog. I can tell when my parents (Bobby and Wendi) are getting ready for work and when they are getting ready to go somewhere for fun. On work days, I just let them leave without so much as a wag of my tail. A lot of times my mom leaves while I'm still napping on bed with Dad in the mornings.

Did We Just Get Authentic Philly Cheesesteak in Ohio?

By

Wendi and I have been very busy lately, with work, with the holidays, with our great-nephews and with helping to organize a marriage event. Because of our schedules, there has not been a lot of traveling done for this blog, just a whole lot of whatnot.

That something turned out to be a triple treat: Lunch at Original Steaks and Hoagies in Twinsburg, Ohio; a walk with Owney, our dog, through … [Read more...]

Oh, Mercy! Mercy Street Season 2 Begins Sunday

By

When I was a kid I always looked forward to fall, not just for the cooler weather, but also because of the new TV shows and new seasons of my favorite TV shows starting again. Thankfully for me, an avid couch potato, I don't have to wait to get my fix of new episodes until fall for some of my favorites. Now new seasons start in January, too. A show that is beginning again that I am so excited for is Mercy Street. It is a PBS historical medical drama that is set in Alexandria, Virginia during the … [Read more...]

Serving Up Blog Leftovers From 2016

By

Wow, we're in the year 2017! Seems like just the other day that we were in 2016.(I know, we were, I just think it is funny to say. I'm like my dad in that way.) So looking back over the year, I realize there were things we did but never wrote about, that I want to get off my whiteboard. Let me explain. Last year I bought a small white board (the kind that can go in a school locker) so my husband, Bobby, and I would be able to keep track of the posts we needed to write. We erase them from … [Read more...]
