My Daily Travels

We would hit the road any other time during a two-week vacation, but not this year. We have been looking forward to a lengthy amount of time off so we can putz around our house and catch up on some overdue upgrades and major spring cleaning, so this year we are taking a staycation.

All the way from Klamath Falls, Oregon, my step-grandmother's Iris bulbs have made the rounds to Utah, Massachusetts, Nevada, and my home in Pennsylvania. After she passed away, my stepdad and mom boxed up her Iris and sent them to her children and to her grandchildren. I am so thankful that they... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't get to go home very often, but when I do I head for the nearest crab shack down by the beach or the bay. Today being Friday always makes me think of seafood and home. Lucky for me, one of my local restaurants is serving up a low country crab & shrimp boil today, so that is where I plan to... Sign in to see full entry.

My biggest gripe about the offenders is that they don't get what they deserve sooner and are allowed to go on with their lives until they are eventually caught. I have been watching Cold Case Files documentaries on Netflix. Some of the murder, rape, kidnap, and stalking victims do not get the... Sign in to see full entry.

It took sketchy employment records from nine different hospitals, 29 deaths, and the help of a concerned nurse to finally bring down Charles Cullen, one of the nation's most prolific serial killers. Based on a true story, the New Jersey native is the latest figure to make the Netflix homepage in the... Sign in to see full entry.

There are just too many options in my area when it comes to locating a fish sandwich on Friday, so I am heading to Yelp restaurant reviews for my area. I have tried more than my share of fish sandwiches, and some were not that good. I prefer cod, Alaskan pollock, or halibut with a well-seasoned beer... Sign in to see full entry.
