Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Owney Discovers a New Gem: Killbuck Lakes

By

You know, I'm a pretty lucky dog. I get to go for walks in all kinds of places. I've walked on plenty of trails in Wayne County and even the fairground a few times. I've traveled with my family to places as far as Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Yet in recent months I have basically stayed local to Wooster. But my mom and creator of this blog, Wendi, has had in her head for the past several weeks that she needed to go by a lake or something. She had suggested to my dad, Bobby, that a trip to … [Read more...]

Wendi’s COVID-19 Quarantine Chronicles

By

Being the creator of a blog that centers around weekend trips and restaurants, I haven't had a lot to write about recently. We are living in unprecedented times. We have become more aware of viruses than in previous years. We have added to our vocabulary phrases like "social distancing." We have had social functions cancelled and restaurants close except for take out. It's been very weird to say the least. However, my husband, Bobby, reminded me recently that even though things have not been … [Read more...]

Kenwood Acres Trail A Nice Easy Walk Through Nature

By

I love it when my parents, Bobby and Wendi Warren, are home for the weekend without any plans. That usually means they will make it a point to do something with me. As a dog, I'm pretty spoiled, ever since I was adopted into my forever home by Mom and Dad. But still, getting to get out and try new places, is one of my favorite things to do. That happened on a recent Saturday, when we took a ride out to Wooster Memorial Park's new trail at Kenwood Acres. As it happened, when Mom and Dad … [Read more...]

Owney’s Fun Observations at Barnes Preserve

By

It has been a long and uneventful summer for me. My parents, Bobby and Wendi Warren, have been busy with other things, that we haven't really gotten out to try new things. At least they haven't done so with me, too much. Oh, sure, I get to walk around the neighborhood at least two times a day and there has been plenty of laying out in the sun, too. But to actually go any place...well let's just say I haven't been invited. I think Mom was starting feel a little guilty, because on Friday, … [Read more...]

Celebrating Spring at Charles Mill Lake Park and Dam

By

I have heard people complain about the weather and what appears to be the delay of spring. On the one hand I agree with them. When the weather is nice, I get to go outside and lay down in the sun. That is one of my favorite things to do. On the other hand, though, when the weather is nice, my mom, Wendi, gets it in her head that we (Dad, me and her) need to get out and enjoy the nice day. That is all fine and good, because I agree with her -- until she wears me out! Saturday, April 21 is … [Read more...]
