Cooperation is Everything When You Expect a Good Turnout

Today is a rare day for our immediate family as we get to come together and celebrate the Easter holiday weekend with our three daughters, their spouses, and our two grandchildren. Work obligations make family gatherings hard these days. Our youngest daughter is preparing the ham and the rest of us... Sign in to see full entry.

I Believe That We Are Ready for Tomorrow's Easter Celebration

Our adult children dropped a few hints that they miss getting Easter baskets, so we prepared one for each of them to share with their spouses. We will finish them off with a few household gifts after we make a run to Wally World today. I guess that you are never too for an Easter basket. Due to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Calm After the Storm...We Had Hail, Flurries, and Rain...Now It's Sunny

Our Pittsburgh weather can't seem to make up its mind today. It is the perfect April fool's joke as we are being tricked just about every half an hour. I don't mind the rain, but the damaging winds are giving my house and yard a really good beating. I woke up to rain early this morning that was... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a Wet, Chilly, and Miserable Day

Despite looking out the window and seeing a yard full of flowers along with frolicking squirrels and birds, it doesn't feel like spring today. The forecast has predicted rain for most of the day with a high temp of 54. It's days like this that I prefer to stay indoors, watch a few good movies, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Workers broke ground on the tunnels in December 1919 and... Sign in to see full entry.
