Flamingo Jack’s Offers Unexpected Twists

By

My friend and co-worker, Evan Bahler, had told me about a visit he made to a restaurant downtown Wooster, Ohio, called Flamingo Jack's. He said he had gotten one of the best burger he had ever had there. I'm a big burger person. So when another coworker and friend, Stephanie Feltmeyer, was selecting a place to go for lunch with the our department for her birthday, Flamingo Jack's came up again. I agreed with Stephanie, that it would be a good place to go for lunch, especially because only Evan … [Read more...]

Getting to the Hart of the Matter: Friends are Important

By

About a month or so ago, I received an invite to attend a friend's 50th birthday. In what seemed like two seconds after the invite, I received a text from my friend asking whether I was coming to the party or not because I hadn't clicked on the link and RSVP'd. I told him Wendi and I indeed were coming, and I found the link and indicated we would be intending the 50th birthday bash of Kenny Hart. I met Kenny, along with his fiancee, Dawn Hott, about a year ago through a mutual friend, the … [Read more...]

Owney’s Visit to the Vet — Not What He Expected

By

As you know if you've ever read any of my blog posts, I'm a big lover of the Cleveland Road Animal Hospital and Pet Hotel daycare. (You can read about why, by clicking here.) They love me there.

That changed on Saturday, March 17th. (Incidentally that is Saint Patrick's Day but apparently I don't have the Luck of the Irish with … [Read more...]

Celebrating a Friend’s Birthday with a Bit of Pampering

By

I began this blog so that I could write about the things that my husband, Bobby, and I to do together. Yet there sometimes when Bobby doesn't want to do what I'd like to do. Thankfully I have friends who I can do these things with. Case in point, on Wednesday February 28th, 2018, my friend, Jessica, and I went for pedicures. This is something Bobby would never agree to do! Jessica and I have been planning on this for about a month. It is the beginning of her birthday week, which today is … [Read more...]

Main Street Wooster R&R Week Kicks Off, We Chose Smoke

By

While this blog has already had a post about Smoke the Burger Joint, it wasn't written by me. So this it is my turn. (If you want to read the other post done, by guest blogger, Dan Starcher, click here.) My husband, Bobby, and I decided to go on a date on Monday. He had suggested a trip to Canton, but I really didn't want to drive out of town. It was a work night after all! So I convinced him that staying close to home was better. That is when he remembered that it is R & R Week in Downtown … [Read more...]
