My Daily Travels

The first thing I noticed this spring morning was a shift in the temperature. It is warm and sunny, but we are expecting some light rain sometime this afternoon. Having a covered porch, I don't mind a bit of rain so long as I can sit comfortably outdoors to watch and listen to the show without... Sign in to see full entry.

I am a fan of most vegetables, so I buy them frequently. I keep my potatoes, tomatoes, and onions in a dry storage bin, but almost everything else I purchase from the produce department goes into my vegetable crisper in the fridge. This morning, I found the last remnants of carrots, broccoli,... Sign in to see full entry.

Once I learned how to Morph a recipe that I am already making and transform the extra ingredients into an entirely different meal; it was game on. I made John Italian sausage, onion and pepper hoagies for his lunch today. I also made stuffed bell peppers with the remaining ingredients, but to the... Sign in to see full entry.

I have always enjoyed a well-crafted sandwich that offers more than just meat and cheese; one that puts an Irish spin on it is even more glorious to the taste buds. I have loved corned beef stacked high with all the fixings, layered between two pieces of swirled rye and pumpernickel bread, ever... Sign in to see full entry.

Every year on St. Patrick’s Day, most places dye a river green.

From water main breaks to electric outages, and damages from the high winds that yesterday brought to the area where I live, the reports just keep streaming in. I am feeling pretty thankful that the worst of it is over and the only issue we experienced was a runaway garbage can that we were able to... Sign in to see full entry.

What started out as a mild and peaceful morning is now anything but. After reading the annoying pop-up alert flash across the bottom of my computer screen, I learned that it is going to be another one of those days with a wind advisory that isn't playing around. This will be the third day this week... Sign in to see full entry.

I always smile when I see a rainbow appear after a good rain shower. 🌈 Yesterday, the day remained warm and sunny, but then the high winds began whipping, the sky suddenly turned black, and then the lightning appeared, accompanied by thunder and buckets of rain. After watching the show in the sky... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night, the thunder and lightning lulled me to sleep after a long day of running around. I was tired, so sleep should have come easily, but it didn't. After a full day, I went to bed with an active mind, filled with thoughts of what I needed to accomplish today. The rain was still softly... Sign in to see full entry.
