February 13, was a perfect day to view the ice sculpture displays at the 2016 Medina (Ohio) Ice Festival. It was freezing, so there was no fear of the sculptures melting. It was snowing, which added to the charm. It was Valentines weekend and I was with my wonderful husband, Bobby, which made being there romantic, even if it was freezing and snowing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE48zv9Xudo The weather didn't seem to keep many people away. There were plenty checking out the different … [Read more...]
It Might Have Been Quicker Flying to Germany for German Food
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...]
Canton’s Table 6 Kitchen + Bar = 10
Wendi and I headed to the Canton area for the day. We wanted to take a tour of the Harry London Chocolate factory, visit the National First Ladies Museum and get a bite to eat at someplace that was not a chain and something different than what we can get in Wooster. We discovered Table 6 Kitchen + Bar. We learned about the restaurant from the Visit Canton website. While we live in Wooster, it is not like we are totally unfamiliar with Canton-area establishments. I thought Table 6 must … [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...]
Where a Kid Can Be a Kid (and Grownups, too)
This past week, my great nephew, Noah, celebrated his birthday. On Saturday, January 23, 2015, my husband, Bobby, my parents, Bud and Dolores and I traveled to Columbus, Ohio to see him. We met Noah, DeAveon (his older brother) and his mom, Ashley at Chuck E. Cheese's in Dublin. Back in August we celebrated DeAveon's birthday at Magic Mountain. We decided Chuck E. Cheese's was better to do in January. Since Magic Mountain has outdoor activities that are closed in the winter, the boys … [Read more...]
