Last summer, the newest coffee shop in town began a Bible Study. At first, a small turnout of 20 was expected and who knows how long it would last if offended someone? That hasn’t been the case and the turnout last summer was amazing. Instead of having it in the shop, they moved it outContinue reading “First Bible Study of the Year at Cutie’s!”

The 2025 Spring Conference began the next morning. Our food was provided to us by Thermo Fisher.

Visiting Johnstown Toastmasters!
On Sunday, we celebrated Easter. It was a small turnout and we didn’t have our usual suspects there. The Somerset Gaffrons were in State College celebrating Easter. But it was still a great day, albeit a little chilly. We had ham, scalloped potatoes, and vegetable casserole. It was a quiet day after the chaos overContinue reading “Visiting Johnstown Toastmasters!”

Three Years Duolingo Strong!
Happy Duolingo Anniversary to me! Today is Palm Sunday and it’s also three years of Duolingo learning for me! Learning a foreign language is a great skill to have, especially if you’re in a line of work where you need to communicate bilingually or you travel overseas. I began my Duo journey by learning SpanishContinue reading “Three Years Duolingo Strong!”
Better Late Than Never!
This week the Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters Club held a Speech-a-Thon at Hoss’s Corporate Headquarters in Duncansville. I gave some thought about attending the event this morning and I was glad I did, even if it was better late than never. I’m sitting in my chair reading my book, having a quiet morning, remembering to takeContinue reading “Better Late Than Never!”
Whale of a Cod Time!
This afternoon, I had some stuff to take care of that I won’t mention in this blog. First things first though. I stopped at Eat’n Park because I was hungry for the Whale of a Cod. Overall I had a great dining experience. The sandwich was good and the service was great. Eat’n Park isContinue reading “Whale of a Cod Time!”
