My Daily Travels

Talk about shock. It has been a few years since John, and I have shopped for vehicles. We happen to live in an area where winters are hard on a vehicle's exterior due to the salt that road crews toss on the roads to melt dangerous snow and ice. Keeping this in mind, it makes purchasing a new vehicle... Sign in to see full entry.

In the area where I live, which is approximately 16 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, we are bordered by several Pennsylvania counties, along with a few West Virginia and Ohio counties where you will find a plethora of old barns that have stood the test of time. I am fortunate enough to live nearby a... Sign in to see full entry.

Just last week the rivers were all one big mass of an icy mess. A few sunny days has performed damage control, leaving behind a shimmering body of water. The boats are back to happily floating down the rivers while its occupants bask in the sunshine and warm temperatures. The Gateway Clipper cruises... Sign in to see full entry.

We are having a double celebration today. First, we will be celebrating with family this afternoon at a small birthday gathering for our daughter-in-law at Pizza Hut. Then John and I are heading out for our own Valentine's Day adventure to the Century Square Luxury Cinemas to watch the movie... Sign in to see full entry.

This... Sign in to see full entry.

The weather is absolutely beautiful today for this time of year, even if it is partly cloudy, I could feel the difference in temperature when I went outside this morning to feed my critters. I will take a 54-degree day over a -2-degree day any old day. It is our day off, so John and I are headed out... Sign in to see full entry.

The funny part of my having a wee bit of a sore throat this morning is that I wasn't even going to watch the football game since I'm not a real fan of either team that was playing, but I quickly got caught up watching the Seahawks defense in action after John switched the channel to the game.

No matter what I make for John, some form of hot sauce or peppers will find their way into his food. He knows what he loves and that is spicy food. I on the other hand prefer a lot less spice and a little more flavor enhancers that come from spices, herbs, vinegar, and sauces. I enjoy a good sub... Sign in to see full entry.
