In today’s blog, I wish my wonderful niece AB a happy birthday. How is she 12 already? But I’m also recapping this weekend and fun that was to be had. It was a great weekend for festivals, homecoming, as well as getting outside.

The Story Behind the Smile
In 2024, Eat’n Park celebrated its 75th anniversary in business. The years have been good for this iconic Pittsburgh institution that has withstood the test of time. Started in 1949 as a drive-in restaurant on Saw Mill Run Boulevard, theyβre a few years ahead of McDonaldβs, which was founded in 1955. Eat’n Park has evolvedContinue reading “The Story Behind the Smile”
Pumpkin Spice Shopping Spree, Part II
Thursday night, I embarked on a little road trip to do some birthday shopping for my almost 12 year old niece. Sheβll celebrate her birthday next week with a Taylor Swift themed party.

Starting My New Path at Greensburg Toastmasters!
It’s been a bit of a crazy time for me. I’ve been getting content out but it’s been late. Reason being, that I’m spending more time preparing speeches to give at my clubs (Greensburg and Laurel Highlands). Hey, I’m stepping up and speaking more so that’s a good problem to have! This Pumpkin Spice tourContinue reading “Starting My New Path at Greensburg Toastmasters!”

Getting Back to Church!
Last night, I went back to church at Community in Harrison City for the second week in a row. Last week was the first time and I wanted to prove that this wasn’t a one week thing. This time, I felt more comfortable. I knew that last week wasn’t going to be an immediate bounceContinue reading “Getting Back to Church!”
Smiley, Turkey, and Toastmasters
Last night, I met Mr. Clougherty for dinner. While Kings and Primanti’s were good options, I decided on Eat’n Park by Westmoreland Mall. Let me count the reasons why. Number one: It’s an easy ride for him and close to home. We used to meet at Kings in Delmont and sometimes in Murrysville back whenContinue reading “Smiley, Turkey, and Toastmasters”
Feels Like Yesterday
Last night, I braved the rain (which we needed after a dry summer) and drove up to Johnstown to attend a Toastmasters meeting. This had been in the plans for me since I attended their online meeting back in April. I made my arrival a little before 6:30 and I was greeted warmly by theContinue reading “Feels Like Yesterday”

Much needed rain is making its arrival as will be severe weather. Hereβs my first day of Fall. I gotContinue reading “Fall π is Here!”
