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!”

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!”

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!”
