Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Wooster’s New Burger Joint is, Well, Smokin’

By

If there is one thing that the Gate House Boyz (Twitter: @GateHouseBoyz), aka Bobby Warren and Dan Starcher, take seriously, it's lunch. The topic of lunch usually comes up somewhere around 10 a.m., if not earlier. Luckily, there are a lot of places in Wooster to eat lunch, recently we finally made it to Smoke: The Burger Joint. The restaurant boasts a truly American menu with traditional fare like burgers, fries and hot dogs. Everything is smoked to perfection, but menu items are … [Read more...]

Marriage: What Makes Life so Great 

By

Last night, February 11th, my employer, The Village Network, had an employee appreciation party. It was loads of fun. I got to dress up, hang out with friends and dance. (Thanks Charlene, Tim, Sam and Rich!) During the evening I was able to meet a fellow employee's new wife and another coworker's fiancé. I enjoy meeting newlyweds and people planning on getting married, because I want them to know how awesome marriage is. I might come on a bit strong, but the conversation goes something like, … [Read more...]

It’s Beginning to Sound a Lot Like Christmas

My husband, Bobby, and I don't have any children. We have four cats and one dog. (If you've even read my blog just a little bit, you will have met Owney, our dog. He's a regular guest writer for Wendi's Weekend Trips and Whatnot.) I say that to let you know that I've never experienced the staying up most of the night to assemble this or that toy.

Families Light the Way to the Christmas Spirit 

By

I don't decorate for Christmas. I know that is almost sacrilege. I have what I would consider 5 really good reasons I don't. They are named Gracie, Buddy, Mr. Thomas, Kirby and Owney (our cats and dog). Don't get me wrong, I actually really love Christmas decorations. And one of my favorite ways to get my Christmas decoration fix is to look at other people's decorations. I am related to a couple of Christmas decorating enthusiasts. My Aunt Pam's husband Domenick decorates the house both … [Read more...]
