My Daily Travels

Our little 8-ounce friends are still coming around for a sip of their sweet treat, but so are the bees and an endless trail of ants. Pittsburgh's 80-degree temperatures are keeping the Hummingbirds hanging around a bit longer than normal. A glance out my kitchen window told me that their sugar... Sign in to see full entry.

I should have known better than to turn on the TV this morning. I usually tune into the Food Network, but today I went straight to the A&E Storage Wars channel. It is interesting and entertaining to see how bidders make a quick profit from buying someone else's junk, but I was naughty. I was over... Sign in to see full entry.

This morning started out with John and me having breakfast in front of the television while watching a riveting true story stalking movie on Netflix, in which the mother was cut out of her family and friends' lives.

John and I took off for parts unknown yesterday through the West Virginia Panhandle. We stopped in the small community of Hundred and had a late lunch at the local diner. We have lived and traveled in many states across the United States, and I must say that West Virginia is severely underrated in... Sign in to see full entry.

We live relatively close to the Ohio, Maryland, and West Virginia borders, depending on which direction you head out. John and I love the country roads in West Virginia, so today we are heading out on a mini road trip to Hundred, West Virginia, located in the state's Panhandle. There are many...
