My Daily Travels

The new refrigerator should have been delivered last week, but construction on the main street in my small borough prevented the delivery truck from getting through town. The 22-foot truck finally got here earlier this afternoon. I got lucky in that I was not held up all day like I was last Friday... Sign in to see full entry.

By the end of the long work week, our laundry pile looks like we are a family of six rather than two due to John's many double shifts at the mill. Today, I get to play catch up. This will not be a problem since I enjoy doing laundry on rainy days. Sign in to see full entry.

I can't complain about all of the hours that my hubby is working, simply because it is helping out to pay for our many recent upgrades on our recently purchased home, but dinner for one can be lonely unless you find some really good grub that takes your mind off of the whole situation.

Due to a severe case of a few guys at the steel mill having the lazy bug syndrome, John is stuck on two back-to-back double shifts with a quick return to the next shift that leaves him roughly with four hours of sleep each night.

We took a trip to the Lowes garden department yesterday because I always have flowers on my mind. We purchased bright yellow Daffodil bulbs and hybrid Tulip bulbs with a variety of colors that I plan to plant this month, but I will have to wait because it is still too hot to risk it.

Other than for a few exceptions, I have never really come across a pie I don't like, especially when it's a pizza pie that we're talking about, and today just happens to be "National Cheese Pizza Day." Cheese pizza is a quintessential part of the U.S. culture now but it is a descendant of its... Sign in to see full entry.

The unbearable conditions from the 90-degree heat and humidity have made my bird bath the main attraction for both the birds and the squirrels since early this morning. I have already had to refill it three times due to my little feathered friends splashing around in the cool water, not to mention... Sign in to see full entry.

Dinner for one has become the normal dinner date plan for me lately due to my hubby working double shifts, but I'm okay with that. I just happen to love breakfast for dinner, so that is the plan for today. My preferred meal today is breakfast for dinner which consists of a homemade breakfast bowl... Sign in to see full entry.
