Staying Frosty

Staying Frosty

  • Double-Header

    As the weather has grown warm and pleasant, I’ve started enjoying trips to the lovely green areas around Madison: Picnic Point, the Arboretum, and Olbrich Gardens.  However, as my primary chair (the Cadillac) does not have adequate power for the trip plus the return trip I’ve started relying on the Tank.  Yet, even the Tank,…

  • Madison Grocery Delivery

    I’ve noted that I use some grocery stores that provide home delivery in some of my posts.  Here are a list of some of the stores in Madison, WI which provide this service: Note: Some of these stores have a limited service area Fresh Market – $5 Delivery fee (added to bill) Capitol Centre – Free for orders…

  • Crockpot Champion

    Eating healthy quality meals can be difficult when relying upon home healthcare to help prepare meals.  Lack of access to fresh ingredients, limited time with the caregivers, and limited ability to cook myself, all present problems with having fresh, healthy, tasty dishes on hand.  However,  I’ve found some clever ways to prepare a nice meal…

  • Student Loan Aid for the Disabled

  • London – Day 1

    It was the perfect start to our trip.   Early Saturday morning in London (while being close to midnight Central Time USA), and we were hunting for a 3 prong US outlet to UK outlet converter. We asked the hotel concierge for suggestions of any stores where we might be able to find such a…

  • Air Travel Accommodations

    I found an interesting link, on the MDA Advocacy site, regarding Accessible Air Travel.  This page lists the Accessibility information pages for many major airlines, which is quite handy, as tracking down the accessibility and accommodation information for airlines and other transportation companies can be quite difficult. Happy flying.

  • Departure

    The day had arrived.  The start of our two week adventure to Europe.  We got up early, considering that we were on vacation, to prepare to catch a 10 AM bus from Madison to O’Hare. After several nights of frantic packing and planning we still felt unprepared, in spite of Ethan’s binders full of flight…
