My husband, Bobby, often tells people he is from "severe Revere" [Massachusetts]. I'm not sure what he means by this, other than that must have been what he and his friends called it when he was growing up in the city just north of Boston. (Really, it's part of Boston like Euclid is part of Cleveland.) Bobby is the second child and first boy in his family. His father is from an anglo-saxon background and his mother is second generation Italian born in the USA. Bobby's parents separated when he … [Read more...]
Don’t Put Selfless Elf (5K) on the Shelf
Friday was a long day, and I was so worn down that I did not want to run in the fifth annual Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank Selfless Elf 5K, a fundraiser to feed the hungry. I put in a full day at The Daily Record newspaper before heading out for a magic show deep into Amish Country, which required travel over snow-covered, narrow, winding and hilly township roads. It took me about 55 minutes to make a 33-minute trip. And, then I had to drive home after the magic show. I was tired and hungry … [Read more...]
The Stories You Hear at the Long, Cook & Samsa Open House
One of the benefits I get by being Bobby Warren's wife is the opportunity to meet new people. Whenever we go anywhere in Wayne County, Bobby knows someone.

(Long, Cook & Samsa, Inc is a well established accounting firm in Wooster.) We joined what seemed like half the county this past Wednesday for the … [Read more...]
Wooster’s Window Wonderland — A New Tradition for Me?
O.K. I know that Wooster has been having an Window Wonderland for 29 years. I know this because my husband, Bobby, wrote about it for his day job at The Daily Record. (You can read his promo story here or see photos from the event here.): Window Wonderland was started by Main Street Wooster, and the first year members sold wreaths for front doors of downtown businesses. Candles were put in windows and lit. Santa visited the city that first year and every year … [Read more...]
Come In, Sit Down, Relax and Eat at The Parlor Restaurant
You know how there are places that you drive by all the time and you think to yourself, “Someday I’m going there.” The Parlor Restaurant in downtown Wooster is just such a place for me. Granted, since my 13-plus years of living in Wooster I have gone to The Parlor, but just not very often. Thanks to a co-worker, Angie Speigle, a group of us met early on a Friday morning for breakfast at The Parlor. (This is our second “quarterly” girl’s breakfast, although we somehow missed a quarter somewhere … [Read more...]
