Travel. Food. Fun.

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...]

With a Name Like Smuckers and Williams It Has to be Good

By

If you read my blog yesterday about my dad, Warren Breese, you know I enjoy spending time with him. (If you missed it, you can find it here.) Well, I did that on Saturday, June 18. Spent the day with both of my parents, Warren and Dolores. When my husband, Bobby, and I attended the Cupcake Tour, in April 2016, part of that tour was visiting the JM Smucker Company Store and Cafe. I decided then that for Father's Day I would get my dad a selection of Smucker products. You see when I was … [Read more...]

Happy Father’s Day, Dad! Love, Wendi

By

While I know tomorrow is Father's Day, I want to take time today to tell you about the man I call my dad, Warren "Bud" "Tom" Breese. Depending on who you are and when you met him, you know him by one of those names. Other than his given name, there are stories for the other ones. With my dad, there are always stories! (We used to tease him that he was like the governor from the TV Show Benson. He had a story for every situation.) He is called Bud, because when he was a kid, they called … [Read more...]

Great Birthday Celebration, I Mean It. Anybody Want a Peanut?

By

My birthday celebration this year was quite a production. It had been in the works for the better part of the year. Bobby had warned me to stay away from his emails, so I wouldn't see what he was planning. Well the day finally arrived when all his hard work paid off and he proved once again that he is fully awesome. He dropped me off at our good friends house, the Maxwell's. Ron went with Bobby, while Jan was made responsible for getting me to the event on time. What was the event, you … [Read more...]
