The Original Steaks & Hoagies Opens in Fairlawn on National Cheesesteak Day

By

A year or so ago, Bobby and I decided to take a day trip that landed us in Twinsburg, Ohio so that we could try a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. Bobby had done a search for the best Philly Cheesesteak in Ohio and The Original Steaks & Hoagies was by far the most recommended. (You can read about the adventure here.) One of the owners saw Bobby's post and put it on the company's website. Bobby saw that and they became Facebook friends. Because of that, one of the owners, Jeff Wiseman, … [Read more...]

Celebrating a Friend’s Birthday with a Bit of Pampering

By

I began this blog so that I could write about the things that my husband, Bobby, and I to do together. Yet there sometimes when Bobby doesn't want to do what I'd like to do. Thankfully I have friends who I can do these things with. Case in point, on Wednesday February 28th, 2018, my friend, Jessica, and I went for pedicures.

Mrs. Yoder’s: Worth the Drive and Wait

When we first moved into the area, we made a trip to Holmes County and ended up in Mount Hope. That was our first time there, and I suggested that we go to Mrs. Yoder's for lunch. Bobby had said it looked "too touristy." So we didn't stop. When Bobby went back to … [Read more...]

Couples Date Event at Parkview Christian Church Scores Big

The only other relationship that should be held higher than each other, is the one with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To that end, we have strived to make time for one another and especially to go on dates, either on our own or with other couples. By doing so, we have gotten out of our normal, everyday life and away from things that would … [Read more...]

Reporters Interviewing Reporters: An Interesting Hangin’ with Hoozy Podcast

By

I've been the wife of Bobby Warren for close to 23 years. (We will celebrate our wedding anniversary in March.) Of those years, Bobby had been a reporter or editor of a newspaper for almost 18 years. As those of you know, who read this blog, his career as a writer for a print newspaper ended in January, which you can read about here. But other than occasionally, I've not had an inside look at what it means to be a reporter for a daily paper. That all changed on Thursday, February 1, 2018. That … [Read more...]
