My Daily Travels

Mondays are usually hectic at our house. We get comfortable over the weekend only to be greeted by a screaming 3:00 a.m. alarm clock early Monday morning. I woke up tired from the pollen shower that has recently afflicted our area, but now I am wide awake and thinking about dinner choices. Mondays... Sign in to see full entry.

This weekend took on a trip down "Memory Lane" with our two grandkids. We wanted them to experience some quality time away from electronic devices and actually interact like we did back when John and I were kids. They really seemed to enjoy themselves during their stay. We played card and board... Sign in to see full entry.

We were hoping for a sunny day since our grandchildren love outdoor activities. They are staying with us this weekend, but this morning started out gloomy with a threat of rain which is not great for two little active minds that wish to be outdoors.

After a long work week, I look forward to Friday afternoon when all of the week's work is done.

Perhaps the little guy was in need of a nap or some shade. Regardless, he wasn't afraid of us and allowed me to snap a photo... Sign in to see full entry.

Last week I took a trip to Delaware to meet up with my half-sisters. Our dad was a womanizer who left a trail of young mothers with babies that are now getting to know each other. Our father committed suicide at the young age of 36. Thankfully, DNA has allowed us to find each other, and after... Sign in to see full entry.

I tend to stay away from making John steak due to red meat not being the best protein for our bodies when eaten regularly, but he asked me sweetly if I would make him the New York strip steak that he found in our freezer yesterday while digging out ice cream bars for the grandkids. I usually finish... Sign in to see full entry.
