The Snow Today is Relentless

I will spend most of my day ensuring that my walkway stays snow-free and salted so that nobody injures themselves when walking up to the house. John is stuck on a double shift, so the responsibility is left to me. Besides that, I plan to watch cooking shows for most of the day. Later, I will chop up... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am A Happy Camper

Our new hot water heater was just installed. We don't have hot water as of yet, but we will in about two hours. I am feeling very thankful for the prompt, professional, and courteous service. Sign in to see full entry.

Day 2 with No Hot Water, but I'm Old School, So I've Got This

We are still in the freezing zone with a winter weather advisory showing that we can expect another 2-4 inches of snow by tomorrow. Thankfully, we have good heat sources, but no hot water, so I boiled water this morning and added it to the 3 inches of ice water that poured into my bathtub so that I... Sign in to see full entry.

No Hot Water & It's 16 Degrees with A Wind Chill Advisory...Not a Fun Day

When we bought the house that we have been living in for nearly ten years in July, our hot water heater was still under warranty since it was replaced 6 years ago. For a few different reasons, that hot water heater has given us issues from the pilot light going out to a lack of air flowing to the... Sign in to see full entry.

We Finally Got Snow That is Worthy of Talking About

This is the first time that I have had to shovel snow off of my sidewalk this winter. The birds don't seem to be bothered by the snow, but I got a genuine workout this morning. ❄️⛄❄️ Sign in to see full entry.

It's Freezing, but No Snow, So Later We Are Headed Out for Date Night

It has been a long work week, especially for John, who just finished up an 80-hour week, so we plan to take advantage of the clear roads and catch up today. One of John's and my favorite dates is to take a long country drive and then stop for dinner at our favorite restaurant. The Cracker Barrel is... Sign in to see full entry.

Donation Time Since the Pittsburgh/Buffalo Game Has Been Moved to Tomorrow

Since the Steelers/Bills game has been moved to tomorrow afternoon, I have a bit of free time on my hands today. It has been a long time coming for a good deep cleaning in my home office which is packed full of my favorite books, including a few from my fellow bloggers. I sorted through more than...

A Very Busy Yard This Morning Despite the High Winds

None of these guys appear to care about the high winds. The red-headed woodpecker is pecking away at his suet, and the squirrels are hanging from the bird feeders while the Cardinal watches them empty the buffet. A couple of crows attempted to join the buffet, but the squirrels weren't having it.... Sign in to see full entry.

Revisiting A Few Old Southern Favorites Today

I used to make one form of potatoes or another with just about every meal when the girls were younger. Being of English and Irish descent, they are a natural favorite. Oven-roasted potatoes topped the regular request from both John and the girls, and they preferred them to be served with Southern... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunny, but Cold Outside Today in the Burgh'

This is the perfect day for catching up on a few of my favorite series. I will also be preparing a meal that I will freeze and then serve on Tuesday when my middle daughter and her husband stop in for a visit. They requested that I make stuffed bell peppers with a side of garlic and rosemary mashed... Sign in to see full entry.
