I wasn’t in attendance Friday night but, the beginning of the Christmas holiday took place at Westmoreland Mall as they held their annual Light Up night festivities. I read that the event had its best turnout in five years (pre-COVID). While COVID is still a thing and will always be around, it appears the socialContinue reading “Light Up Night and a Sunday Drive to Ligonier”

Last night, I drove out to Monroeville and ate dinner at Mad Mex, located in the Miracle Mile shopping center. It was the perfect time of the year to try their seasonal staple, the Gobblerito. For me, this was my second time expereiencing this culinary masterpiece. Last year was my introduction and I got anContinue reading “A Gobblerito, Holiday Baking, and Christmas Fashion”

This weekend has been a treat with mild temperatures and dry conditions replacing the rain and cooler temperatures that seemed to dominate the October landscape. Color is starting to fade in most of Pennsylvania or is already past peak. Some of you saw snow to kick off November. We saw a few flurries but nothingContinue reading “Christmas Music, a Pilgrim, Change and Personal Growth”

I don’t know about any of you reading this, but I thought that little touch of snow was a welcome sight Wednesday morning. As I left work, I was faced with the task of cleaning off my car and scraping some of the ice that had frozen to my windshield. I’ve also had to scrapeContinue reading “Cheetah 🐆 Prints, Family Picnics, and Autumn 🍂 Leaves”

I‘m feeling much better than I did last week as my cold and cough have gone away. Despite feeling better I stayed inside due to the inclement weather all weekend. That gave me an opportunity to watch football. Not much else I could do even I wanted to. I don’t need to shop for anythingContinue reading “Anniversaries, Thanksgiving Plans, and Peppermint Season!”

Last weekend was an absolute disaster. I was going through the misery of being sick, having come down with a cold and feeling congested. This began on Friday and ran through the early part of the week before I got better around Wednesday. By Thursday, I was feeling good enough to have dinner with Mr.Continue reading “A Better Weekend, a Content Heart, and the End of an Era”

It’s great getting back to what I love doing after being sick most of the week. I fought a cold all week and still went to work without calling off. That’s what I call dedication. I still attended my Toastmasters meeting Tuesday night and had dinner last night with Mr. Clougherty. Tonight, we’ll begin withContinue reading “A Look Back and an End of Season Dinner”

This blog was inspired by a recent post from my cousin Katie who wrote about the 18 Fall Treats that you can enjoy besides Pumpkin Spice. She even included a fall activity to go along with it. Today, I am here to talk about the many other things that you can do besides wasting yourContinue reading “Ten Ways to Curtail my Social Media Use”

Over the summer, I started reading Harry Potter. I was inspired by my ten (now 11) year old niece as well as my many cousins who have read the books. Next book in the series for me will be Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which I will begin tonight. My goal is toContinue reading “My Reading Journey”

This weekend’s Fall Symposium is in the books. Was it a good one? I would say so. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t sure I was going to attend until the week before. I didn’t want to ask off having a busy weekend just before that. But the Giant Eagle scheduling gods were smilingContinue reading “2023 District 13 Fall Symposium”
