After an active weekend that included our family reunion and Annabelle’s birthday party at the karate studio, this immediate past weekend was much quieter by comparison. Sometimes, that’s what is needed. This week ahead will be busy, and also it’s a wrap for one of my summertime traditions.
Mr. Clougherty and I have our last dinner meeting of the year coming up Thursday night. We’ll finish where we started our season and that is Primanti’s. Downtown Greensburg will be a little crazy due to the night market that evening. If the market ran during our Toastmasters meeting, we could just have our meeting online. I enjoy my friendship with Kevin and that we can still get together. Once November gets here, he will be busy with swimming. I come up with talking points to discuss with him and this week will likely be centered around the Election.
I’m also going to finish the Eat’n Park this week and continue with my Obama and Kamala reads as we near the big day. Tuesday night at my Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting, I will be giving a speech on Eat’n Park, highlighting some of the things I learned from reading “The Story Behind the Smile”. It will be hard to condense 75 years of history into a five to seven minute speech but I’m working on it.
Finally, I’m in my End of Eras series this month and next month. I’ll post a blog every Friday highlighting a special era of my life or one that has ended. I’ll also have some autumn leaf pics up as well. There’s some beautiful trees in the parking lot of my Giant Eagle that I want to get pictures of while we have our best color. Some of the higher elevations are beginning to go past peak, so it’s only a matter of time before trees go bare and the snow starts to fly. Maybe I’ll work it around my Cutie’s visit tomorrow afternoon after I wake up.
