Yesterday's Worries Are Behind Me, and Today Has Me Making Plans

My medical issues were found and addressed during my visit to the gastroenterologist yesterday. All I can say is that today I'm feeling relieved after my recent health scare. Moving forward, I am making travel plans for our mini ghost town road trip next week, and I also plan to fire up the BBQ this... Sign in to see full entry.

A Member of British Royalty Was Laid to Rest in Western Pennsylvania

Located forty-one miles north of Pittsburgh lies the tomb of Princess Ileana of Romania in the Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration. The princess was the daughter of King Ferdinand I of Romania and Queen Maria (Prince Alfred’s daughter - born Princess of the United Kingdom). Ileana was a... Sign in to see full entry.

Always On the Hunt for These Little Gems, I Located Yet Another One

One of the things I enjoy the most in this life is reading a good book. At home, I have a mini library packed with great titles that I readily exchange at the many free libraries stationed around my area. The Little Free Library was strategically placed next to a popular coffeehouse, situated with... Sign in to see full entry.

Let the Cravings Begin

By the time I get to Thursday morning, I will be hungry enough to eat the shingles off the house. This low-carb diet is for the birds! I woke up craving pepperoni and mushroom pizza, but I must stick to the diet ordered by the doctor if I want to get to the bottom of my ailment, so I whipped up a... Sign in to see full entry.

Whew! I've Gotta Busy Week Ahead, but I Been Prepping for It All Morning

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy on Wednesday morning. Preparation for the "business end canal check" began a few days ago, with my gastroenterologist prescribing low-fiber meals, followed by a liquid diet of magnesium, potassium, and sodium sulfate, all accompanied by several ounces of water. Fun!... Sign in to see full entry.

I Didn't Get One Hiss or Complaint When I Walked Up on These Guys

These guys can be most temperamental when you get too close, but they surprisingly were calm and friendly as I snapped their picture at our local animal park yesterday afternoon. They are free to roam the grounds and usually have nests near the water, which is where John and I found them, basking in... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Mess!

Our little 8-ounce friends are still coming around for a sip of their sweet treat, but so are the bees and an endless trail of ants. Pittsburgh's 80-degree temperatures are keeping the Hummingbirds hanging around a bit longer than normal. A glance out my kitchen window told me that their sugar... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Naughty Day

I should have known better than to turn on the TV this morning. I usually tune into the Food Network, but today I went straight to the A&E Storage Wars channel. It is interesting and entertaining to see how bidders make a quick profit from buying someone else's junk, but I was naughty. I was over... Sign in to see full entry.

Today in My World is A Planned Day of Cutting and Beautifying

This morning started out with John and me having breakfast in front of the television while watching a riveting true story stalking movie on Netflix, in which the mother was cut out of her family and friends' lives. The movie, Unknown Number, is currently ranked at #1 on Netflix. What Happened to... Sign in to see full entry.

Happily, It's That Day Once Again

I always look forward to Tuesday, which is John's Saturday, because we normally head out on one adventure or another. I work from home, so I am game to take a break when the need arises. Road trips are our favorite venture with shopping and nibbling stops along the way. We try to stay within a... Sign in to see full entry.
