Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Owney Says Baths are for the Birds!

By

I love going to Lodi to visit my Border Collie cousins, Parker and Admiral Nelson. My dad,  Bobby, calls us the black and white brotherhood. My Uncle Shaun is the best, too.  I really enjoy just hanging out with him, either on the couch or on the deck. Whenever I see him, I have to jump all over him to show how excited I am to be there. My Aunt Randi is great, too. That is until she decides to take me to her basement. It is there where the torture takes place. In case you don't know, Aunt … [Read more...]

What Do You Do After a 3-Ring Circus? Head to 3 Brothers

By

After a recent visit to see the Tadmor Shrine Circus in Canton, Ohio, we were feeling a little hungry. We wanted to find a place to eat that is not in Wooster, where we live. After such a wonderful experience at Table 6 Kitchen + Bar, we thought why not try one of its sister restaurants. So, we settled on 3 Brothers Corner Tavern. Wendi and I were joined by her co-worker, Jessica, and Jessica's little cousin, Vance. We thought we would start the meal off with an appetizer, so we settled … [Read more...]

Flashback: Pushing to Launch Book on Valentine’s Day, Will We Make It?

By

One of the most exciting things I have done is to work as an “executive project manager” for my wife Wendi's book/fairy tale about a princess who gets kidnapped and has her life hanging in the balance. Will the king find her in time? Will she be saved? Will she live happily ever after? We are pushing to have the book ready for release on Valentine's Day via Amazon's Kindle store, and it has been a fun challenge bringing it to this point. Right now, all systems are go, but just like a NASA … [Read more...]

Flashback: From ‘Oh, My’ to ‘Happily Ever After,’ A Brief Tale About a Fairy Tale

By

Soon, and very soon, my wife, Wendi, will have her Christian-themed fairy tale available worldwide through Amazon's Kindle store. We have been working toward a Valentine's Day release date. Here is an early version of the cover art: Wendi originally wrote it in 2008, and after hiring an illustrator to bring some of the scenes to life, she began rewriting her work. Part of it was to incorporate elements of the universal storyline, and part of it was expand on what she wrote. I think the … [Read more...]

A Perfect Date in Columbus

By

My husband, Bobby, and I always have a great time together. Well, I should say usually, because there are times when I am...let's say a wee bit moody. But most of the time that isn't the case. So having a perfect date is not out of the ordinary. (Hey, maybe that is why I started this blog.) Saturday, March 19, 2016, was another great time away. It all started when I found out that a friend of ours, Audrey Lombardo, was performing in a community theater production in Grove City, Ohio. … [Read more...]
