That’s exactly what I’m doing. Not just in my fashion but in life as well. Today I drew a few designs for a logo for my blog. I drew a shield 🛡️ with the four things that will define my blog. Lifestyle and fashion are the two main stars, but fitness and food are the others going into 2024. Now on to today’s feature presentation.
This morning I took advantage of my morning off and rode with Mom up to Somerset to run some errands for Aunt Sue. It looks like Benny will be at Children’s through Christmas and into next year. The drive to Aunt Sue’s is also fun (and I’m not saying that in a dramatic way) because Mom doesn’t take the Turnpike but PA 31. Mount Pleasant is still a quaint little town and has its small-town charm. The Levin Furniture is still there as well as my friend’s bakery, Maisy Cakes, which specializes in French macarons.
From Mount Pleasant you begin to climb the mountain and come into Donegal. As we drove up PA 31 the snow became more visible and temperature dropped a few degrees, keeping that snow in place. It’s not far from my favorite little Hallmark Christmas town/little Stars Hollow, known as Ligonier. Not far from the big ski resorts, Donegal and Stahlstown could both be used in a few scenes if a movie were to be filmed in Ligonier.
Fun fact: Bear Rocks was almost the site of a ski resort a la Hidden Valley. The idea was nixed when it was built on the wrong side of the mountain and wouldn’t be able to keep up the snow like Hidden Valley or Seven Springs. The rest is history, but a nice little summer resort or camp would have fit in down there.
Our stops included picking up some things at Benny’s school (Somerset Jr./Sr. High School). Included in it was a Somerset High School shirt for Benny to wear. From there, we stopped at Aunt Sue’s house to pick up a few things including some clothes. The renovations look great and the sun porch looks like a brand new room in the house. We won the day by making sure the cats stayed in the house and they did. On our way home, we stopped at Moo Echo to pick up things for our charcuterie board we’re putting together for Christmas Eve as well as jam for Mom to make her almond thumbprints with.
We almost took a scenic trip home past the Fairgrounds because we were behind a slow-moving truck but we were able to pass it and get home. The journey home is faster than it is getting there. I watched some Disney Christmas shows and then settled down. Tomorrow I go Christmas shopping and looking ahead I’ll be making a Market District run for Christmas Day.
