My Daily Travels

No time for blogging over the weekend. My two grandchildren do not appear to have an off button. They wake up and take off running. We took them out to dinner at the Cracker Barrel followed by a trip through one of our last standing malls. They emptied our wallets and came back to our house happy... Sign in to see full entry.

This type of weather is a blessing come this time of year considering that we are normally knee deep in snow by the end of January. I walked out into the yard early this morning to fill all of the wild animal feeders and to my surprise I was happily greeted by unseasonably warm temperatures and a... Sign in to see full entry.

The weather has become extremely unpredictable and today here in my small corner of the world the sun is shining so brightly that I had to close the blinds in my office. The sky is blue with minimal clouds, yet the snow flurries continue to drop off and on despite the fact that we are expecting a... Sign in to see full entry.

He has been sipping away at it off and on all day while binge watching... Sign in to see full entry.

The worst was expected, happily, it was anything but bad. We had one hour of snow flurries southeast of Pittsburgh this morning, and done. The sun is now fighting through the overcast sky and the rest of the week is looking fairly clear and unseasonably warm for this time of year. Sign in to see full entry.

My weather app is showing snow for tomorrow, which is heading towards Pittsburgh from the Midwest. It is not unbearably cold here today, but it is cloudy with a chance of showers looming around pretty much for the whole day. Monday is a workday, so John and I are heading out on a country drive today... Sign in to see full entry.

On most Saturdays, John and I try out a new restaurant in and around our city that offers a large variety of entrees. We used to grab a breakfast sandwich from McDonalds in the early hours of the morning, but we cut that out once I started taking statins. Today our two oldest daughters and their...
