My Daily Travels

I always look forward to Friday, but this particular one is even more special because it marks an unseasonably warm, bright, and sunny end to the weekday, with a high of 71 degrees expected. And because it is Friday, it's pizza day for us. Before I get to our dinner plans, though, I am heading out... Sign in to see full entry.

John and I ran to the store last night just before dark. By the time we were headed home, dense fog had completely covered the river, the road leading to our home that runs parallel to the river, and the bridges crossing it, making visibility almost zero. This morning offers no change. If anything,... Sign in to see full entry.

When the weather permits, John and I enjoy walking along the riverbank, especially after a storm, where we have located washed-up items along our path. Over the years, we have found money, tackle boxes, fishing lures and rods, antique shoes, old glassware, phones, toys, and driftwood that we have... Sign in to see full entry.

Tuesday is our fun day to get out and do whatever we feel like doing. That usually involves stopping at a quirky diner, which today will be a roadside stand, whose owner makes authentic Mexican food, taking a long drive, and just enjoying whatever the day has to offer. 🌮 From what I can see of the...

Life is too short to be dusting 1001 apple 🍎🍎🍎 items cluttering up my shelves, counter space, and walls. I have a kitchen filled with country apple and... Sign in to see full entry.

When I walked out to the feeders this morning, I was so happy to find that it was warm and sunny. February has literally flown by, but this last day of the month is a lovely one with a high of 60 expected, which is warm compared to the 0-degree temps we had a few weeks ago. March 1st has other plans... Sign in to see full entry.

A look back to 1911 when Point State Park was anything but a place of enjoyment. One of the many places that visitors enjoy seeing when coming to Pittsburgh is the iconic Point State Park landmark, which is situated in the heart of the city. It is also loved by the locals for the purposes of scenic... Sign in to see full entry.

We are enrolled in a healthcare plan that includes annual checkups, which cover preventive care. Like most women, I am not fond of my yearly mammogram appointments, but they are crucial for early detection of breast cancer, which appears to be on the rise, so my afternoon involves that uncomfortable...

Every year, John and I sit down to discuss which months we should take a vacation and where we should go. The first vacation on our list is scheduled for mid-April. Normally, we use one of his vacations to visit my sisters and cousins in Delaware or my brother, who lives in Massachusetts, but the... Sign in to see full entry.
