Today We Had an Early Start and A Hearty Meal at the Breakfast Buffet
It's been a busy week with little time for ourselves, so today, we went to the breakfast buffet at one of our favorite restaurants. I can't remember the last time I had pancakes, so I was happy they were available on the buffet. According to John's schedule, this is Friday for him at the steel mill,... Sign in to see full entry.

We Will Be Taking a City Walk with Our Two Grandkids This Afternoon
Our youngest daughter lives nearby in a city with a mapped-out 2-mile city walk, complete with footsteps painted on the sidewalk with mile markers. The walk runs along her city's two main historic streets, so it is also scenic. Since her divorce a few months ago, we rarely get to see our... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have My Days Mixed Up A Bit, But It's All Good
I normally make a Mexican dish on Tuesdays and pizza, subs, fish, or ribs on Fridays. We have had everything but Mexican food this past week, so I am making my loaded nachos today for dinner.

She's Not Fooling Around Today; Mother Nature Means Serious Business
Even though our heater is set at a comfortable 72, I could instinctively feel the chill permeating through the walls from outdoors. Stepping out on the porch, I was shocked when I looked at the thermometer's reading of -11 degrees. Thankfully, no pipes were damaged from the extreme dip in... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was a Big Mistake Going Outside in My Flip-Flops and Shorts Today
I normally run out to the yard early in the morning in my pajama shorts and flip-flops to fill my bird feeders. So far, I have been able to handle 20-degree weather for the time it takes to gather their feed from the galvanized cans where I store it on the garden bench outdoors. Today, the lids gave...

Looking Pretty As A Picture in the Snow
Today was not an ideal day for driving, but after the snow took a break, a walk through the snow in the park was not out of the question. Sign in to see full entry.
I'm Not Feeling It, but It Has to Happen Before It's Too Late
Sunday is my favorite day to watch my top five Food Network programs, but before driving conditions become dangerous from the non-stop falling snow this morning, I've got to make a store run for water and a few other essentials. Our shoveled and salted walkway is already covered with another layer... Sign in to see full entry.
