Through the power of social media, I pick up quite a bit when it comes to Toastmasters news in my District. Even when I can’t attend. On Wednesday night, District 13’s oldest club celebrated a huge milestone during their meeting. The Pittsburgh Toastmasters club 144 turned 85 years old. They meet on the second andContinue reading “Pittsburgh Toastmasters Turns 85!”

Holiday Baking!
Last week when I was off, Mom was hard at work baking Christmas cookies. She made her usual cookies and will put together some new creations, including lemon bars. She also made her raspberry thumbprints, with the jam she bought at Moo Echo in Somerset. When she ran out of raspberry jam, she used someContinue reading “Holiday Baking!”

Return to Cutie’s and Reflecting on Vacation!
This morning, I made my first visit to Cutie’s in three weeks. I wanted to go, but life just happened to get in the way. I was busy preparing for my Hershey trip.

Saturday morning, I attended club officer training at Westmoreland County Community College. We had a split amount of officers attending in person and online.

My Pittsburgh Shopping Tradition!
On Friday, I picked up where I left off with my 2024 Christmas shopping. Instead of an unprecedented third day in a row at Westmoreland Mall, I took to Pittsburgh for the next round and visited the South Hills. This is something that I’ve done since 2016. The first trip was memorable and it kickstartedContinue reading “My Pittsburgh Shopping Tradition!”
Braving the Cold Weather for a DangeRUSS!
Wednesday night we held our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting. I thought about the weather as the forecast was calling for snow in the evening. Luckily, it held off until later that night. If I needed to, I’d have suggested that the President make a decision to hold the meeting online. We had our old room backContinue reading “Braving the Cold Weather for a DangeRUSS!”
Scoring a Muppets Hat Trick!
Since Black Friday, I’ve gone into my routine of watching Christmas specials and movies. In honor of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’s 60th anniversary, I’ll have to watch the special. I might watch it on Youtube or another streaming service to avoid the long list of commercials. That and I’m not a fan of NBCContinue reading “Scoring a Muppets Hat Trick!”
Accompanying Mom on her Errands!
This morning, I had the opportunity to go on my Mom‘s errand run with her. It all worked out perfectly with the timing. I had an ultrasound that morning at Independence Health in Greensburg but it was done almost as it was getting started. I had breakfast at McDonald’s, and was surprised at how differentContinue reading “Accompanying Mom on her Errands!”
