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
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...]
A Pleasant (and Filling) Evening in Richmond, Virginia
This should be the final installment of our Richmond, Virginia trip (but Bobby informs me it won't be, because we did stop in Charlottesville, VA on the way home). For those of you just joining us, my husband, Bobby and I took a whirlwind road trip to Richmond so that we could visit the set of Mercy Street, a PBS/Lone Wolf Media medical drama that centers around the Civil War. Bobby was interviewing Dr. Tony Tizzano for The Daily Record. I went just to cross it off of my bucket list. The … [Read more...]
Basking in Wooster’s New Dunkin Donuts/Baskin-Robbins
I know what you're thinking, because I have thought it, too, but no, this is not becoming exclusively an ice cream blog. However, on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, the eagerly anticipated opening of the combined Dunkin Donuts/Baskin-Robbins finally occurred. I was super excited about Dunkin Donuts and on my way to work stopped for a donut. I didn't realize that I would be stopping by in the evening for ice cream. But hey, when my husband, Bobby, suggested we go, he didn't really have to twist my … [Read more...]
Cowhaus Creamery Flavors Know No Boundaries
Bobby, my husband, took Owney and me for a ride on a recent Friday night. He had heard about a new artisan ice cream shop, Cowhaus Creamery, that will be coming to Wooster, Ohio in the very near future. He decided that we needed to do some market research by going to see the original location in Oberlin, Ohio. I always like the idea of taking Owney for a ride, so it was no big deal for me to consider driving to Oberlin for ice cream. It is a nice drive from Wooster to Oberlin. I have only … [Read more...]
