You know how someone says you have green thumb when you garden well? Well, whatever the term they use for someone who has natural artistic ability would not be an adjective to describe my painting skills. However, even being artistically challenged, Erin from True Colors Art Studio, has a knack of not only helping you paint, but also feel like you could give Monet, Rembrandt or Picasso a run for their money. I should know, because she did that for me! I had the opportunity to meet Erin … [Read more...]
Owney Discovers a New Gem: Killbuck Lakes
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...]
Binge-Watching Leads to a Return to Mayberry
When I was growing up I remember watching a few episodes of the Andy Griffith Show during the summer. It was on at Noon, so while I was eating lunch I watched the show.

Recently we've watched Counterparts and Jack Ryan on Amazon, The Mandalorian on Disney Plus and Longmire on Netflix. … [Read more...]
Fog Can’t Stop The Music on the Steamboat Natchez
When my husband, Bobby, and I were going to New Orleans, I knew that we had to hear live music. I mean seriously, New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz music and Louis Armstrong. The only question was where we would listen to it. I don't think Bobby would have minded if we ended up in some club on Bourbon Street, but that really isn't my type of thing. Instead I talked him into going on a riverboat cruise that also had a live band. Well, actually, it was Bob Adamov who told Bobby we needed to go … [Read more...]
Meeting the Music Man Again
I met The Music Man as a child on cable TV and HBO. I watched the movie over and over fully enamoured by Robert Preston's portrayal of Professor Harold Hill. I memorized the songs and my sister, Randi, memorized the choreography. We discovered that our dad had the vinyl album of the original soundtrack from the movie and we listened to it frequently (even recording it on a cassette tape). Over the years I have met The Music Man in various settings from high school auditoriums to college … [Read more...]
