When my parents, Bobby and Wendi Warren, celebrated their anniversary, they let me go to one of my favorite vacation spots, Grandpa and Grandma's house. (You might know them better as Bud and Dolores Breese.) While I love staying there, I still miss Mom and Dad a lot. I think they miss me too, because we seem to do something special after they pick me up. (If it isn't dark and they're not too tired.) So on Sunday, March 5,they decided to take me to a place I have never been. They called … [Read more...]
Traversing the Trails to Lyons Falls in Mohican State Park
Back in February, my husband, Bobby, and I stumble upon the Mohican State Park Covered Bridge on one of our day trips. When I say stumbled upon, I mean we had no idea we would find it or that it would be right next to the trailhead for Lyons Falls and Pleasant Hill Dam. I would have probably encouraged Bobby to make the trek to the falls on that day, but we were not dressed for hiking in any way, shape or form! (I had dressed for a date out with Bobby, not for tromping in the woods.) Yet the … [Read more...]
Mohican State Park Lodge — A Place to Linger
Last weekend, when my husband, Bobby, and I went away for an overnight stay in Mansfield, Ohio, we took a detour to the Mohican State Lodge and Resort. I mentioned in a previous post that I knew I liked the place as soon as I walked in, but that I would tell you why later. (You can read my previous post here.) Well, it's later. I don't know if this has ever happened to you, but sometimes when I visit a location it just makes me want to linger. That's what happened Saturday. We walked into … [Read more...]
A Weekend Away: Never How I Plan, but Always so Much Better
When my company, The Village Network, announced that it was going to hold an Employee Appreciation Dinner and Dance on Valentine's weekend (February 11, 2017) and that we could get a discount on our room at the Holiday Inn in Mansfield, Ohio, I jumped at the chance. My husband, Bobby, agreed it would be a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day. However, I couldn't just go to the hotel and event and be satisfied. No, not me! I thought we could make a whole day of it. The plan was to do something … [Read more...]
Owney says, “Bedford Reservation: A Great Place to Investigate.”
I'm what you would call a smart dog. I can tell when my parents (Bobby and Wendi) are getting ready for work and when they are getting ready to go somewhere for fun. On work days, I just let them leave without so much as a wag of my tail. A lot of times my mom leaves while I'm still napping on bed with Dad in the mornings. On other days, when they are getting ready to do something fun, I can tell. Like this past Saturday, January 28, 2017, when they were contemplating doing something away from … [Read more...]
