My mom, Wendi, has a cold, so she asked me to write something for her blog. Since I haven't had any new adventures (you really can't have adventures when your parents don't take you with them) I thought I could give you an update on my pet cat, Kirby. Mom calls him "crazy kitten Kirby" and for good reason. That cat is crazy! Back in September 2015 Mom says her prayers were answered when Kirby came to live with us. She really thought I needed a pet so that I would leave the other cats … [Read more...]
Happy B-Lated B-day, Burger!
It wasn't until late Thursday night, July 28, that I found out I missed the birthday of the hamburger. That is the date when Louis Lassen in 1900 served the first hamburger sandwich. (It was out of Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut.) Turns out that we were there on July 27, 2011--but I didn't know it was the birthday then, either. I felt kind of like I did when I realized I had missed National Ice Cream day (July 17). Not exactly sad, but a little disappointed in myself that I hadn't … [Read more...]
These are a Few of My Favorite Things (Blog-wise)

Seeing things from the perspective of my dog, Owney. It wasn't until I started my blog that Owney was able to … [Read more...]
If You Enjoy Air Conditioning, You Need to Thank This Man
I often find it funny how things can be so interconnected without us even realizing. How one decision can grow to impact so much. I read a book once by Andy Andrews, titled The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters. The gist of the book describes that very thing -- how seemingly insignificant decisions that people made ended up having a lasting effect. I wonder if Willis Carrier, the "Father of Air Conditioning" had any idea how much of an impact his invention of the modern air conditioner in … [Read more...]
What Began It All: A Trip to Niagara Falls
I love celebrating anniversaries. Well, honestly, I like celebrating anything. However, anniversaries are especially fun to celebrate. Gives me a chance to look back and see how the year has gone. So, you can probably guess how exciting it is for me to consider this anniversary. July marks a year since I began Wendi's Weekend Trips and Whatnot. I can't believe it has been a year! I have had a great time and I hope you have, too. But in case you are new to me or perhaps don't remember, I want to … [Read more...]
