Being the last Thursday of the month, Greensburg held its monthly night market. That meant downtown was going to be packed. The growth of this event has been so phenomenal over the last few years. I went a few times in 2020 to support small businesses during COVID, as the local restaurants and shops neededContinue reading “Greensburg Night Market/Coffee Bean Visit!”

At my Wits’ End at Cutie’s Bible Study!
Don’t let the title of my blog post fool you, as I had a good time at Bible Study at Cutie’s Monday night. For the first time since early June, we were able to have everything outside. It may have been humid but the weather worked in our favor. The title of Monday night’s messageContinue reading “At my Wits’ End at Cutie’s Bible Study!”
It’s Summer, But Fall Coffee is coming!
This week’s weather will start out hot and humid, as we add to our 90 degree days for the Summer. Late in the week, we get a break from the heat as we usher in August. While we try to stay cool this week, let’s look forward to Fall and some of the new FallContinue reading “It’s Summer, But Fall Coffee is coming!”
Maintaining my Magnificent Speaking Streak!
Over the last year, I’ve given at least one speech every month at my Toastmasters meetings. Sometimes, if the schedule allows I give two speeches a month. I’ve done it in consecutive weeks as well. The exception has been the month of January, but I still consider this run to be successful, having spoken 11Continue reading “Maintaining my Magnificent Speaking Streak!”
Everything is Falling into Place!
Wednesday night, our Laurel Highlands officers all got together for a meeting. We used Google Meet, which was a nice contrast to Zoom. I’ve been attending online meetings since 2020 (when the pandemic forced us to hold them virtually), and this meeting was good, even if we didn’t cover everything in the allotted hour. WeContinue reading “Everything is Falling into Place!”
Together We Win at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Tonight at our Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting: We had a second time guest in attendance. Will attended a previous meeting and it was nice to see him come back. Our VPE even volunteered him for the role of timer. We got feedback from him about the meeting and how much he liked it. Upon gettingContinue reading “Together We Win at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Looking Back at my Quarter-Life Crisis!
I’ve been “A Promised Land” for about a month and made it close to the halfway point. By now, it’s 2009 and Obama has been president for a month and is trying to get the economy out of the Great Recession that started in the Fall of 2008. I’ve read up on the collapse ofContinue reading “Looking Back at my Quarter-Life Crisis!”
Who Moved My Cheese at Greensburg Toastmasters?!?
Wednesday night at our 100% virtual Greensburg Toastmasters meeting, we had two speakers (myself included). My speech was titled “Who Moved My Cheese?” as you can see from the image. Not only did I speak on the book and the experience of reading it for one of my classes at Slippery Rock, but I alsoContinue reading “Who Moved My Cheese at Greensburg Toastmasters?!?”
Prioritizing Faith at Cutie’s Bible Study!
The forecast didn’t favor an outdoor Bible study. It poured Monday morning and rain was forecast between 4 & 5 o’clock. That didn’t stop Cutie’s from holding their outdoor event. For the first time in six weeks, people gathered in the parking lot for a long awaited study. The subject: Faith. Our speaker Monday nightContinue reading “Prioritizing Faith at Cutie’s Bible Study!”
It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!
Last night at work, I began to notice signs of change. It’s still summer, but I’m seeing back-to-school displays up front. In the back of the store and going into the backroom, I discovered boxes Halloween candy and Fall treats. These will go in the seasonal aisle as summer progresses. I have yet to seeContinue reading “It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!”
