Best Day Ever!

Since she lives three-thousand miles away from me in Carson City, Nevada, I don't get to see my mother but every few years when we meet up in a city that we all decide on as the destination of choice for that year. Thank goodness for the cellphone that allows for multiple conversations from all ends... Sign in to see full entry.

An Ugly Mess Has been Left Behind

Yesterday I posted about the local implosion of an old power station that is located 2.7 miles from my house. It not only rattled my house but it appears that things didn't go as expected if the ugly mess that was left behind is any indication. Sign in to see full entry.

My House Was Rattled This Morning by A Local Implosion

There is nothing that can prepare you for that C-4 boom that goes with imploding an old building. This morning the Elrama power station was reduced to rubble. I live across the Monongahela River and just a few miles away from where the blast occurred. It is close enough that my house shook and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Making Time for Mom This Mother's Day Week

Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to find the time to take John's mother out for a Mother's Day meal, which is one of her favorite things to do. The problem is that she has six kids who all have busy lives, and everyone but John's mom still works, so we plan to take her out this afternoon to her... Sign in to see full entry.

Due to the Price, I Don't Make This Favorite of John's That Often

It is yet another sunny and warm spring day here in Pittsburgh, and when the temperatures are just perfect for eating outdoors, that is exactly where I want to be. This is a great day for making a cold salad, sandwiches, grilled chicken, ribs, or burgers, so I am preparing one of John's favorite... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Warm and Sunny Day

John and I went shopping yesterday in the garden department and we came home with a pickup load of potting soil, flowers, and herbs. Our next trip will involve getting our produce plants. This morning I have been enjoying the view that includes hanging flowers and a loaded herb garden. I also filled... Sign in to see full entry.

Our Local Weatherman Made a Bad Call, So I Am Headed Out to the Yard

More often than not, our local weather news team makes a bad call. Even though they called for scattered rain showers, it is sunny and warm here today in my Boro, so I plan to head out to the yard with the latest book I have been reading whenever time allows. Nora Roberts never fails to keep my... Sign in to see full entry.

We Enjoyed an Entertaining Rags to Riches Story Yesterday at the School

We have been patiently waiting to see our thirteen-year-old granddaughter, Chloe, who played the part of Pepper in Orphan Annie at her school yesterday show off her acting skills that she has been working on for the past month. Chloe has expressed her wish to be in the theater with high hopes of one... Sign in to see full entry.

I Plan To Take Advantage of the Day

This is the first day since last week that I can actually get my outdoor chores under control. The hedges need to be trimmed, the grass needs cut, and I am planning on planting a lilac bush, Jasmine, and a yellow rose bush. From what I can tell, my weather app shows approval for planting this week,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Had High Hopes For the Day, but They Have Been Dashed

I instinctively knew that the day was not going as planned when I woke up this morning and I spotted an overcast sky. I had plans to hang out outdoors today in my yard under a sunny sky. So far, it isn't looking like that is going to happen even though the weather report suggests otherwise. I have... Sign in to see full entry.
