The Past Peak of Summer!

Summer began on June 21 this year and will end on September 20. Around the end of July and into August marks the peak of summer. The luster of summer is still here but it will be fading soon as kids prepare to go back to school in the weeks ahead. School shopping is bigContinue reading “The Past Peak of Summer!”

Magnificent Speaking Streak 2.0?

It’s been a few days, but I’m back to writing and ready to embark on this journey. The countdown to a thousand blogs starts today. Since I’ve been off the grid for a few days, what is new with me? Last Friday I visited the Dick’s House of Sport at Westmoreland Mall. I was inContinue reading “Magnificent Speaking Streak 2.0?”

Previewing New Books in August!

Here we are in the closing days of July. It was an active month with power outages, bloodwork, and learning from my mistakes in my officer role.

Return of the King (of the Hill)

The first Bible study at Cutie’s in almost two months (due to inclement weather) did not disappoint. I made sure I kept my calendar open Monday night for Bible Study. The forecast agreed for once, even with all the smoke we had Thursday and Friday and the heavy rain and storms Saturday. The forecast trendedContinue reading “Return of the King (of the Hill)”

Trying the PB Cup Latte at Caleese!

The forecast for today has been dry, yet somewhat hazy. However, it’s not as bad as Thursday and Friday. In fact the AQ was more moderate depending on your location. With a day off and an amazing weekend feature at one of my locations, I wasn’t passing this opportunity up. The PB Cup Latte isContinue reading “Trying the PB Cup Latte at Caleese!”

Fun Features at Caleese and Cutie’s!

I’m looking forward to sharing some of the fun drinks that my favorite coffee shops have to offer next week. But first, let’s recap Wednesday night’s Toastmasters meeting. It was a hot one Wednesday, pre-wildfire smoke and poor visibility. But I still came out to my Toastmasters meeting that evening. I made sure my hotspotContinue reading “Fun Features at Caleese and Cutie’s!”

Know It. Speak It. Live It at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!

Tuesday was our first Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting of the year. En route to Connellsville, I wasn’t sure how the meeting was going to go. New to FreeToastHost, I didn’t have an agenda prepared. One reason could be that I am used to doing things different at Greensburg. As I walked in the room, IContinue reading “Know It. Speak It. Live It at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”

Why Ligonier was a Wake-up Call!

I wasn’t one of the lucky ones to make it out to the railroad yesterday to see the famed Union Pacific train go by. However, some of my family members found a great spot to see it. The train passed through Altoona on Friday and made stops in Derry, Greensburg, Jeannette, Irwin, North Huntingdon, andContinue reading “Why Ligonier was a Wake-up Call!”
