Our word of the day on Tuesday at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters was Courage. We needed that during the meeting as the technology was not being so reliable. But, those of us in person and online persevered through the mess and made it another enjoyable meeting. We had three attending the meeting in person, while theContinue reading “Yes.

It’s the Last Day of Summer, and Relief is Coming!
Back in May, we were stuck in a damp, cool weather pattern. This coming on the heels of a warm, Mother‘s Day weekend when we opened the pool. I didn’t get in the pool until exactly a month later. Go figure with this Pennsylvania weather. The second half of the month was mostly cool andContinue reading “It’s the Last Day of Summer, and Relief is Coming!”
Third Time’s the Charm!
Thursday night dinner finally happened! The third time was the charm as Mr. Clougherty and I rescheduled our dinner series twice. Once was due to swimming and the other was for Open House. I proposed we do it September 18 and he agreed to it. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect as the starsContinue reading “Third Time’s the Charm!”
Learning about Knee Operations and Our Best Decisions at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Last night at Greensburg Toastmasters, we learned about knee operations from our two speakers. We had two guests and their walks of life couldn’t have been any more different. We welcomed back a former member who had been in our club before. We also had a college student from Pitt at Greensburg in attendance. TableContinue reading “Learning about Knee Operations and Our Best Decisions at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Doing Something Lighter
We are now in the final week of Summer, and it will sure feel like it. Overall, this summer turned out better than last year. I swam more than I have and I had a great week off. Unfortunately, Cutie’s pulled the plug on its biweekly Bible Study due to pressure from other people whoContinue reading “Doing Something Lighter”
An Emotional Day
This past week was heavy, the Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah and then 9/11 the next day. 24 years later, that day still hits hard. Saturday was an emotional day for my family. We had fond memories of our beloved Gramma, aunt, and mother, Hilde Gaffron. My aunt posted a picture of the Gaffron siblingsContinue reading “An Emotional Day”
Finishing Up My Summer Reading. What’s Next?
I didn’t post a blog on Thursday (well I did but it was dated Wednesday), but I took time to remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 24 years ago. The attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and a plane crashing in a field in rural Somerset County shook us to ourContinue reading “Finishing Up My Summer Reading. What’s Next?”
Having a SWEET Time at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Tuesday night, we held our Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. At first, it looked like we might have just three in attendance but people came in at just before six. Our Vice Presidents Education and Membership came in just a few minutes past six with agendas in hand. Zoom wasn’t working in our favor but ourContinue reading “Having a SWEET Time at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Depending on God at Cutie’s Bible Study!
Last night was another great night for Bible Study at Cutie’s. Despite dealing with drought conditions, it’s been a blessing to have nice weather though it is cooling down as Summer begins to wind down. Cutie’s Bible Study will come to an end in October as the days continue to grow shorter and the weatherContinue reading “Depending on God at Cutie’s Bible Study!”
Friday Night Dinner at The Fat Squirrel!
Friday morning, my aunt reached out to me about meeting her for dinner. It was this place in Jennerstown that she liked, called the Fat Squirrel. We decided to meet at 4:30, and we got a table outside. The menu had some interesting choices for appetizers. We all agreed that the Sweet Potato Fries wasContinue reading “Friday Night Dinner at The Fat Squirrel!”
