Daisy, my yellow lab mix, tries and tries to pick up her frisbee off the patio. If only she had thumbs! She certainly is a diligent dog.

 I’ve been very behind on this, but it’s high time for another Things I Love Thursday post! Here are a few things that have been making me a super happy girl lately …      01. Our new refrigerator. I’m so grateful to have this! Our old fridge was having major issues and caused our electric [...]

Small Streams. There is just something about skinny water and hunting trout that gets me crazy excited.  Peering through bushes, over boulders and crouching in long grass to cast into a tiny hole you just know has a willing fish.  It’s the type…

Our water bill went up this summer. A lot. Like it tripled. I know why. Both my son and my niece were with us this summer, complete with several visits by both their significant others and a variety of house guests. The house guests were no problem. In and out of the shower, like all [...]

The last time I photographed little Landon, he was still in his mom’s tummy! So today I felt a little bit OLD and bewildered by the fact that Landon is now walking and talking and KISSING apparently! He must have given … Continue reading →

I mentioned my soup tonight on facebook and it made everyone drooling for soup. I knew I had taken photos of this soup earlier this year and yea!!!! I found it.

I love my veggies roasted and when I can turn them into a soup all the better. If you th…

I’d like to thank BG Sports for allowing me to interview Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Stevenson Sylvester. Sylvester, a fifth round pick in 2010 NFL draft out of Utah is into the second year of a three year rookie contract and looking to make an impact in his sophomore season. The interview includes Stevenson’s path since [...]

  So, if you’ll recall, we selected a wedding date: 8/10/12. As of last Friday, we also put a deposit down on our reception hall. I started with a list of about 22 possible reception venues. We’re being very budget-concious with our wedding, so I was able to eliminate about half the list very quickly after [...]

Well, I finally did the Goodwill road trip with a friend and we had a great time.  It started off a little rocky when, the night before, my hubby noticed an outside light on in my car.  He tried everything to turn it off but it stayed on unti…

Dovetail Gallery, 2011.

Has anyone else heard that your body can absorb way more of the nutrients from fruits and vegetables when they are raw and all blended up? I have, and honestly it makes sense. I recommend watching “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” (Netflix has it), a documentary about a guy who went on a juice diet [...]

The Her Times race is Saturday at the Rotary Pavilion on Presque Isle, and the Her Times staff will be there to root on the more than 800 — that’s right 800 women who will be running for fun, for good health and for private reasons that often inspire me. Congratulations and a huge thanks [...]

Brendan Conlon was out on Presque Isle Bay for bass Sunday when a northern pike surprised him by latching onto his line. Conlon estimated the pike at 35 inches to 40 inches.

I’ve seen this floating around for a while, and figured it’s a good time to tell you a little bit more about myself! A. Age: 27 B. Bed size: Full. And yes, we’re in the market for a bigger one. It’s horrible. Should we go queen or king? C. Chore that you hate: I.cannot.stand.grocery.shopping. D. Dogs: Bailey, our Shih Tzu! [...]

Being in Erie for 60 or so years, Dominick’s 24 Hour Eatery at 123 E. 12th St. is nothing short of an Erie institution. The food served is consistently good, no matter the time of day or the day of the week. The house specialty is the meatball omelet, and I have eaten my fair [...]

I’ve seen a lot of odd graffiti in Erie, but this emptied suitcase in front of a rabbit was pretty creepy—in a Donnie Darko kind of way.

Before I get to the books, let me try to clear something up: There will not be a shortage of canned pumpkin this year. The crop is good in Illinois, where 90 percent of canned pumpkin is grown. It’s the Halloween pumpkins in the Northeast that got wiped out after Hurricane Irene. That will put [...]

You can actually buy this as a T-shirt…you know, if you need another T-shirt (but this one is so cute!) “Running gives you freedom. When you run, you can go at your own speed. You can go where you want to go and think our own thoughts. Nobody has any claim on you.” — Nina [...]
