My Daily Travels

Tonight is our boro's annual light-up night. The town that I live in dates back to the 1700s, so it has many historic buildings in and around the downtown area. We were presented with a dusting of snow this morning that is just perfect for the winter scene that will include a Christmas market, a... Sign in to see full entry.

This famous chef is no stranger to Pittsburgh, and now he is taking up residence with his new chicken restaurant. Food Network's popular show, “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” starring Guy Fieri opened his fast-casual franchise, Chicken Guy! at 4 PPG Place in Downtown Pittsburgh this week. The menu...

Unable to sleep, I was up with John this morning at 3:30 a.m., the start of his work day. I normally sleep in until 6 or 7, but a busy mind does not rest well. So far I have cleaned my mini blinds, dusted, cleaned the shower, and washed two loads of clothes. Next, I will throw the kitchen and... Sign in to see full entry.

John never complains about anything that I make him for lunch or dinner, but he sometimes makes a special request when I have not made one of his favorites for quite some time. Hamburger vegetable soup is one of his favorite meals that I save for the cooler months, and today is the perfect time to... Sign in to see full entry.

For our birthdays last month, John and I were treated to a gift card to the Olive Garden, one of our two favorite restaurants.

Instead, I was forced to run around in the muck and grab the few supplies necessary for the week coming up. That list included laundry... Sign in to see full entry.

Coming from a military family along with being married to a veteran, I have many people to be thankful for including the military friends that we grew up with and have met along our journey. I am remembering today with gratitude, the brave men, and women who have made and are still making the... Sign in to see full entry.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved hanging my freshly laundered clothes and sheets outdoors on the line so that they can absorb the fresh sunshine and dry naturally from the soft winds. It's cost affective and it leaves a nice smell on my laundry. I know that these nice days are... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a mile from my house a Powerball ticket worth $1 million dollars was sold. Lottery officials said that the November 5 ticket matched all five of the white balls drawn which were (28, 45, 53, 56, and 69). The ticket did not match the red Powerball, which was 20. Had the ticket included that 20,... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday, John and I visited our youngest daughter who is the mother of our two grandchildren. We wanted to deliver the souvenirs that we had bought for them while we were in New England this past week. During our visit, the little ones wanted to go to the park, so we did. We then headed to Wally... Sign in to see full entry.
