Located in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the gorgeous Winslow House B&B can be found in the same town where the legendary groundhog weather watcher Phil, the predictor of an early spring, or not, depending on if he sees his shadow once he leaves his cozy burrow can be seen in person at Gobbler's Knob....

I have been craving so many different foods since we started our soup diet a few days ago due to John's recent dental issues. Earlier today, I laid out thick-cut Applewood bacon and some ground beef that I plan to use to make bacon cheeseburgers for our dinner later this afternoon. John prefers his...

John is back to working doubles at the steel mill so that his small crew of co-workers can take their vacations, and I will be busy later winterizing our yard. Dead plants need to be tossed, their rich soil added to my raised... Sign in to see full entry.

Last week, John and I left for our mini vacation to visit multiple Maryland and Delaware beaches. Pittsburgh temperatures were still in the upper 70s when we left. Delaware and Maryland both had temperatures that hit the low 80s. Arriving back in Pittsburgh, the temperatures were still holding in... Sign in to see full entry.

Not all witches are evil entities. In fact, most practice healing techniques to help those who cannot afford modern medicine. Mary was one of those "good witches' who healed the sick and dying, told the locals their fortunes, and removed hexes and curses while casting her own curses on those who... Sign in to see full entry.
