My Daily Travels

I plan to take advantage of the sunny 81-degree day that has been forecasted for my area today. Last week, I found a romance-mystery novel set in New Hope, Pennsylvania, at the free library, to which I am currently five chapters into reading, so I can be found sitting comfortably in my lounge chair...

Our oldest daughter and her wife stopped by unexpectedly yesterday afternoon for a visit. They were just in time for the burritos I made for dinner. To my surprise, they brought with them an early Mother's Day gift that they had stashed away in the back of their SUV. We had previously discussed... Sign in to see full entry.

It has been rumored that pigs are more intelligent than we give them credit for. After all, their favorite pastime is rolling around in the mud, they snort, eat just about anything, and have bad table manners. A pot-bellied pig may not be everybody's first choice for a pet, but one little... Sign in to see full entry.

For the past month, I have been researching various locations to celebrate my and John’s 40th anniversary on April 19th. I knew it had to be a place where we had never been before, and it had to include some form of water. I met John when he was a young and newly enlisted sailor in the Navy, and I...

I am heading into the heart of the big city today to take my youngest daughter and her husband car shopping. Joni made an appointment over the weekend to meet with the salesman today at the dealership. The traffic will be a nightmare, and the appointment will more than likely be boring for me, so I...

Any sign of good weather hanging around until Easter Sunday disappeared late yesterday afternoon, but not before the day treated my area with sunshine and 80-degree temperatures all over SW Pennsylvania. Today is another story altogether. It is dismal, wet, cloudy, and downright chilly, with a high... Sign in to see full entry.

I am thoroughly pooped out after spending an early Easter Day with the kids and grandkids. We delivered the Easter baskets and enjoyed a simple day. We took a two-mile city walk since the weather was beautiful and since tomorrow is calling for thundershowers, it all worked out for us. Sign in to see full entry.

I have run to the store twice this morning, after forgetting what I originally went for the first time. It doesn't happen often, but when brain fog checks in, I might as well go and take a seat somewhere until the fog clears. I took a short break by walking around my yard to see what new blooms...
