This is One of My Favorite Days

With crazy work hours at the steel mill, Friday is not normally the end of the week for John and me, but we still treat it as such by ordering or making a pizza. My favorite cheese-stuffed crust pie is topped with spinach, garlic, and a ton of mushrooms while John prefers sausage, onions, and... Sign in to see full entry.

All is Well That Ends Well

Yesterday, I was filled with apprehension as our appointment with H&R Block loomed near. John and I walked in the door completely expecting to owe out the keester on our taxes even though between us we had paid nearly $1,800 in federal taxes for the year 2023. Sitting in a cubicle with our tax... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Dreading Our Appointment This Afternoon

Since laws regarding taxes change each year, I never know what to expect once we sit down with our tax preparer at H & R Block the first week of February, and today is that day. We have seen the same tax preparer for the past ten years, but our tax refund changes from year to year, depending on... Sign in to see full entry.

It is Such A Warm, Beautiful and Sunny Day Here in Pittsburgh

I will take a day like this any time. We will reach the 50s for most of the coming week, including today. It is unseasonable weather for this time of year, but I remember moving back to Pennsylvania in February of 2002 with much the same weather. I have no plans to turn on the oven, but I will boil...

A Fun Afternoon with My Favorite Girls

Later this afternoon, we will be celebrating my daughter-in-law's birthday by dining at our favorite Mexican restaurant. I always order the enchilada platter with a tostada. It comes with rice, refried beans, and a side of guacamole. After the birthday dinner, we plan to go shopping at the nearby... Sign in to see full entry.

I Just Love Seeing These Set Up All Through My Neighborhood

When I was a kid, I waited for the bookmobile to roll through my neighborhood. Now we have established "Little Libraries" that have been set up in and around my neighboring communities. Through the continuous help of book donations, they have a 100% success rate and are restocked regularly with... Sign in to see full entry.

This is One of My Favorite Ways to Pack My Favorite Ingredients Together

I love sandwiches and wraps for their convenience and the many different varieties of ingredients that you can use to change things up depending on your food cravings for that day. Wraps are especially convenient, and they offer fewer calories than bread. For our dinner today, I am making crispy... Sign in to see full entry.
