My Daily Travels

Every once in a while, I mix things up a bit by serving breakfast for dinner. Our Friday afternoon meal normally involves fish or pizza, but for some time, I've been craving fried potatoes with peppers and onions alongside a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin.

This has been an action-packed month for both family obligations and medical appointments for John and me. My poor hubby has been feeling under the weather, so a trip to his PCP yesterday resulted in an impromptu EKG with a reading of a left bundle branch block along with cardiac arrhythmia, which...

I can't imagine a world without flowers, and these pink ladies are stunningly gorgeous in my opinion. I have white and orange day lilies, but these are my favorite. As they do each summer, he deer have already eaten our tiger lilies. I am holding my breath that they don't catch sight of these... Sign in to see full entry.

Our high-energy grandson, who turns 13 this month, asked to spend a few days with us. He and his 15-year-old sister used to spend the night with us regularly when they were younger.

I went to bed later than normal last night. I woke up groggy and to a laundry list of things that I need to get done today. It has been a long and busy week of work obligations, but today will be spent on overdue chores around the house. First on my list was tossing in a load of laundry. I dusted...

It is going to be a busy night in my small Borough with a large crowd expected to see tonight's live band down on Plum Street. It is a popular band that draws in an extra-large crowd, and I am responsible for taking photos and videos for the event that I post on our town's development corporation...

Ever since we decided to feed the many hungry mouths that visit our yard, we have found ways to store the many treats that we purchase for our outdoor critters. I love animals, but I have no time for indoor creatures, so I look forward to watching the visiting wildlife through our kitchen window and... Sign in to see full entry.
