Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Honor is Evident at Pallotta Ford Lincoln in Wooster 

By

Have you ever had such a great customer service experience that you just need to share? I haven't had many, but today (August 20, 2016) I had an awesome experience at Pallotta Ford Lincoln in Wooster, Ohio. The saga that led to my being at Pallotta's started a few weeks ago when my husband, Bobby and I met our niece, Ashley and her boys at the Mansfield Art Center. When Bobby saw and heard Ashley's car, he got real nervous. It seemed to be his focus. He would tell me often, "Ashley needs … [Read more...]

Owney the Dog has a Kitten, Crazy Kirby

By

My mom, Wendi, has a cold, so she asked me to write something for her blog. Since I haven't had any new adventures (you really can't have adventures when your parents don't take you with them) I thought I could give you an update on my pet cat,  Kirby.  Mom calls him "crazy kitten Kirby" and for good reason. That cat is crazy! Back in September 2015 Mom says her prayers were answered when Kirby came to live with us. She really thought I needed a pet so that I would leave the other cats … [Read more...]

What Can You Say, with Lego Bricks, Everything is Awesome!

By

Little did I know that July 2016 would have the same theme as the Lego Movie--or at least the same theme song "Everything is Awesome." It is this catchy, can't-get-out-of-your-head tune that is forever repeating. Because of my great nephews, DeAveon and Noah, I know that song quite well. Or maybe I should say is is because of my husband, Bobby, who constantly sings the song to DeAveon and Noah whenever he sees them. Either way, it has been playing in my head most of July. First because July was … [Read more...]

Movie Marathon with My Dad

By

This past Tuesday, July 26, I got to spend time with my dad, Bud, at the movies like we do every year for his birthday. As I've said in another blog post, this is a tradition that started back in 1985 with the movies Silverado, Pale Rider and Cocoon. Since 1985 I think we have only missed one or maybe two years of our movie marathon. My dad and I love movies. We could probably sit and watch movies all day, every day, for a week. So, that we only take one day out of the year for our marathon is … [Read more...]

Condado Tacos in Columbus es muy bueno

By

When Wendi and I traveled to Columbus back in April for Special Persons Day at the elementary school where our great-nephews attend, it turned into a two-fer for us. We had a chance to spend some time with DeAveon and Noah, and then share a meal with Wendi's cousin, Danny, who was attending The Ohio State University at the time (he has since graduated with both his bachelor's and master's degrees). We settled on a place I had heard only good things about: Condado Tacos. While Wendi and I … [Read more...]
