My Daily Travels

It's not the best day weather-wise, but it is seasonably warm for an April spring day in our area. John is off today, so we plan to head out later and have dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. I love the enchilada plate and John always orders the steak tacos with a side of beans and rice. Our... Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a long time since we have enjoyed corn on the cob, but I found some on sale yesterday at our local market. It went well alongside our leftover stew that I served on top of Arborio rice. I simmer my corn on the cob for just a few minutes so that it has some bite, yet it is still tender. The... Sign in to see full entry.

I can however find them on premium channels through my Roku, and when all else fails, I go to the Youtube channel. It's a chilly day and a perfect one for making... Sign in to see full entry.

The area in and around New Wilmington is one of the places that the Amish have made their home in Western Pennsylvania. It is also where some of the most delicious roadside Amish baked goods, jams, relishes, and butter can be found. The country scenery is just beautiful, and the people that reside...

This morning like yesterday is simply beautiful, sunny, and hot. I couldn't help but indulge in a peaceful morning by lounging outdoors while reading my latest book, Hideaway by Nora Roberts. A large variety of birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and one groundhog watched me from afar. Spring by far is my... Sign in to see full entry.

Our anniversary day was spent blowing off chores and in general, totally misbehaving. We stopped for pizza, went to the casino, and ended the evening visiting with our middle daughter and her husband. We enjoyed some ice-cold beers, a trip down memory lane, and plenty of laughs. Today, we will pay... Sign in to see full entry.
