I Know That It's Only Monday but Taco Tuesday is Calling My Name

I could eat Mexican food 3 to 4 days a week. I usually make a meal on Monday that involves T-bone or New York steak for John, ribs for me, meatloaf, or fried chicken...also two of John's favorites, but he and I were both craving Mexican food today, so I went shopping for cheese, tortillas, red...

A Crazy Busy Sunday with No Signs of a Break

This weekend's Riverfest and a birthday party along with the intermittent rain has stopped us from tidying up the yard, so that is one agenda that must be dealt with today since the sun has decided to finally make an appearance. We will also be finished painting the livingroom walls along with... Sign in to see full entry.

Speaking of Birthdays, It Appears That They Are Going Around Today

We are headed out to celebrate our grandson's eleventh birthday this afternoon. I am always happy when there is cake involved in any celebration. I can't believe just how fast time has flown by. Aging is ornery in that way. Birthdays add on another year whether we like it or not. Sign in to see full entry.

It's A Hot & Muggy Day in My Borough, but A Really Festive One Too

This time of year my borough enjoys a two-day Firemen's Riverfest, complete with a parade, live music, carnival games, and rides, multiple food vendors, and a variety of large boats that park along the Monongahela River dock near our Malady Bridge. (20+) Facebook Sign in to see full entry.

So Long as the Weather Permits Today, There Will Be Music

So far, so good. We had an early morning rain and now the sun is fighting its way through the clouds. Thursdays in my small borough are a fun day in the afternoon when everyone gathers to listen to a different live band each week. I always try to get my work, house chores, John's lunch packed, and...

We Will Hit 91 Degrees here In Pittsburgh Today

It is already hot and muggy outside. I normally refrain from turning on the air-conditioner, but today it is necessary. I have one wall to finish painting in the livingroom, and then we will install the wainscoting along with the trim. Since it's so hot today, I will be sticking to cold deli roast...

I Just Learned That My County's Many Libraries Offer Really Unique Things

Free to the people and res ources galore. Just like thousands of libraries nationwide, my many local libraries offer a laundry list of unique items that can be checked out with my library card. Just check out your city's library by Googling, "Library of Things." One of my local libraries has a tool... Sign in to see full entry.

Moving Right Along to Painting and other Embellishments

After purchasing new furniture and tables this month, we decided to paint the upper half of one of our living room walls with a color that matches the new furniture. We will finish the bottom half of the wall with wainscoting and trim. I am also adding some cute pillows with warm sayings. Sign in to see full entry.

Out With the Old and In With the New

I used to fear change, but John and I are slowly beginning to embrace the nice changes that our house is going through during this transitional time. We have been busy assembling new pieces of furniture and installing updated hardware, doors, and ceiling fans. The various tones of gray hues are... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Been A Long but Productive Day

It was a calm 80 degrees today, which allowed us to catch up on updates to our house. We installed our new exterior door and worked on taking down the north-end fence. Sign in to see full entry.
