My Daily Travels

For our birthdays last month, John and I were treated to a gift card to the Olive Garden, one of our two favorite restaurants. The Cracker Barrel ranks at #1, which we also received a gift card to use at a later date. I love the Olive Garden's pasta and endless bowls of salad and breadsticks, but I...

Although it's not possible for me due to a growing laundry pile, it's the perfect day to stay and bed and hide under the covers and wait for the rain to go away. Instead, I was forced to run around in the muck and grab the few supplies necessary for the week coming up. That list included laundry... Sign in to see full entry.

Coming from a military family along with being married to a veteran, I have many people to be thankful for including the military friends that we grew up with and have met along our journey. I am remembering today with gratitude, the brave men, and women who have made and are still making the... Sign in to see full entry.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved hanging my freshly laundered clothes and sheets outdoors on the line so that they can absorb the fresh sunshine and dry naturally from the soft winds. It's cost affective and it leaves a nice smell on my laundry. I know that these nice days are... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a mile from my house a Powerball ticket worth $1 million dollars was sold. Lottery officials said that the November 5 ticket matched all five of the white balls drawn which were (28, 45, 53, 56, and 69). The ticket did not match the red Powerball, which was 20. Had the ticket included that 20,... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday, John and I visited our youngest daughter who is the mother of our two grandchildren. We wanted to deliver the souvenirs that we had bought for them while we were in New England this past week. During our visit, the little ones wanted to go to the park, so we did. We then headed to Wally... Sign in to see full entry.

This was my first serious, "big girl" job at the ripe old age of 19. I had answered an ad in the local Nevada paper for a grocery store setter that eventually led to my being a deli manager trainee at Safeway which later turned into the manager position. I still have my Safeway name tag. Prior to my... Sign in to see full entry.

People are already thinking about turkey and the fixings come November, but this warm and sunny Saturday has me heading back to the days of summer if only for one day. I am a fan of any type of salad, but potato ranks high on my list of favorite side dishes that are normally made in the warmer... Sign in to see full entry.

We came home to some unexpected and beautiful weather. Unpacking is the worst and I had lots of laundry from the trip to deal with, and then I had to take care of my little yard buddies. They are used to feasting on apple-scented corn, seeds, nuts, marshmallows, and feed. The neighbors kept my... Sign in to see full entry.

We put nearly 2,000 miles on our poor little car during our trip to New England this past week. She has an appointment for an oil change on Friday to get her back into good health. We had an amazing time, but I am really happy to be back home and sleeping in my own bed once again. I'm sure that I... Sign in to see full entry.
