One of the Most Beautiful Countryside's is Right Outside of Pittsburgh

The area in and around New Wilmington is one of the places that the Amish have made their home in Western Pennsylvania. It is also where some of the most delicious roadside Amish baked goods, jams, relishes, and butter can be found. The country scenery is just beautiful, and the people that reside...

I Couldn't Help Myself...It's Such a Beautiful Day

This morning like yesterday is simply beautiful, sunny, and hot. I couldn't help but indulge in a peaceful morning by lounging outdoors while reading my latest book, Hideaway by Nora Roberts. A large variety of birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and one groundhog watched me from afar. Spring by far is my... Sign in to see full entry.

No Rest For the Weary

Our anniversary day was spent blowing off chores and in general, totally misbehaving. We stopped for pizza, went to the casino, and ended the evening visiting with our middle daughter and her husband. We enjoyed some ice-cold beers, a trip down memory lane, and plenty of laughs. Today, we will pay... Sign in to see full entry.

We Are Keeping Things Simple Today

The past few days have been chilly, but today we have been blessed with a warm and sunny day with a high expected of 68. John is off for three days, so we plan to relax and enjoy some quality time together. I was going to make a stuffed-crust homemade supreme pizza since our middle daughter and her...

Yesterday Was A False Alarm, but It's Better to Be Safe Than Sorry

We have spent quite a bit of money on our potted plants. We have three extremely huge Boston ferns that would die if we left them outdoors in the Pennsylvania winter elements. Over the past ten years, we have made sure to bring them indoors when the weatherman warns of frost. They have been... Sign in to see full entry.

Homemade McDonald's Burgers and a Pot of Chili Are the Order of the Day

Dinner tonight is an easy one. John loves quarter pounders, so I have managed to seemingly master McDonald's secret recipe that tastes just like it came from the burger giant itself. The rehydrated onions, onion powder, sliced dill pickles, sliced cheese, mustard, and ketchup followed by the way... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was a Strange Request This Time of Year, but I Fulfilled It Anyway

This time of year when the temps range between to 60s to the 80s I prefer eating sandwiches, salads, and anything that can be grilled on the barbecue. John is a bit old-fashioned, so he turns to his childhood favorite, that being, a hearty chicken noodle soup that is best served when he is in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Today Didn't Turn Out As the Weatherman Had Predicted

What was supposed to be a miserable and wet day turned out to be a lovely sunny day with a temperature of 75. This is the kind of day when I find gardening to be pleasurable since it's not too hot to dig in the dirt and pull weeds. I have already finished two loads of clothes and I ran to the...

I Haven't Made One of John's Favorites In a Long Time

It's hot, so I'm all about salads and sandwiches at this time of year, but John prefers heartier meals that include a top ten list of his favorite dinners. Chicken fried steak ranks at about #6. I haven't made it in several years, so I had to dig deep in my recipe box to find the one that hits all... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Not Feeling Bad One Bit For Parting Ways

There comes a time when all things must end, so I've been told, and I for one fear change. We have been insured through State Farm for nearly 15 years, but after a hefty monthly increase on our auto and renters insurance, we decided today to end our service with them. We have had no accidents,... Sign in to see full entry.
