My Daily Travels

I was slightly derailed yesterday from making John his favorite stuffed peppers with sauce when I got a call from our middle daughter. I had laid out the ground sausage and beef earlier that morning when she asked us for a ride to the doctor after she slipped and fell on ice at work this past week.... Sign in to see full entry.

This week's snowstorm has brought on icy conditions in the least expected places. My middle daughter was walking into her job at the dealership via the open bay of the auto maintenance when she fell flat on her back. She is bruised up pretty good, and she is experiencing pain in her lower back and... Sign in to see full entry.

Even though I have lived in Pennsylvania since 2002, I still consider Delaware my home away from home. We try to make the 5 1/2-hour trip to the beach twice a year, once during the summer and again in the winter, but I am not sure I would recognize it now. I'm not sure I could locate the boardwalk...

This little guy isn't enjoying the weather half as much as he is that peanut he is nibbling on. Pittsburgh got a sizeable portion of snow overnight, but it is nothing compared to the Midwest and other parts of the nation. Sign in to see full entry.

I expected to wake up to several inches of snow this morning, but there was no trace of the white stuff from last night's flash whiteout. The weather really needs to make up its mind. Sticking with my New Year traditions, I did no chores yesterday other than warming up the bean soup I had frozen a... Sign in to see full entry.

What started out this morning as uneventful weather with only a few clouds in the sky was quickly replaced by intermittent sprinkles, slush, and snowflakes that have now turned into a whiteout within minutes with a possibility of 10 inches of snow by early tomorrow morning. After taking this picture... Sign in to see full entry.

The last day of the year is another winter day that feels like autumn, and the squirrels appear to relish that fact. I set out peanuts this morning, and they came from every direction to investigate and enjoy them. They like to hang out in the docks stacked next to the fence where they make their...
