Not A Fond Memory...

Thirteen years ago Pittsburgh and the surrounding neighborhoods were hit by, "Snowmageddon," with 48.7 inches of snow being recorded over the month of February in 2010. The snowstorm arrived on February 5th and dumped just over 21" of snow in Pittsburgh by the end of the day on February 6th, making... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is a Day of Recognition of One For My Favorite Foods On the Planet

I normally choose pizza for our Friday night dinner, but today is National Pizza Day, so I might as well go with the flow. My #1 choice is mushroom pizza, but I have yet to eat a pizza that I didn't like. Pineapples and ham are considered taboo by the majority of pizza lovers, but I actually like it...

I'd Rather Be Outside Playing in the Dirt

Today is not a favorable one as John and I have an appointment with the IRS this afternoon.

A Really Busy Weekend Has Left Me With Plenty of Monday Chores to Get Done

A pile of laundry awaited me this morning, so that was the first chore of the week to get done. Dusting and vacuuming are next. John needs work clothes to keep him warm so that he can work outdoors in the elements without freezing to death even though we are experiencing one of the mildest winters...

I Have Never Done This Before but I'm Going to Give It a Shot Today

We are all headed out this afternoon to a new restaurant where we will celebrate our daughter-in-law's 41st birthday. The restaurant that she chose to have her party at is Kodiax which by all means is not a typical restaurant. It is a hunting-themed restaurant with plenty of lodge-style ambiances...

Our Big Fur Baby Says, "Six More Weeks of Winter!"

I never doubted that there would be six more weeks of winter for a minute if one is to go by the calendar, geographic location, and Pennsylvania's history of snowfall this time of year. Regardless, people are always hopeful that spring will arrive earlier than the calendar date and "Groundhog Day"... Sign in to see full entry.

New generations are being introduced to the antics of the three guys who made "nyuk, nyuk," a part of American comedy at a time when the world needed a bit of funny.
