Winter officially made its arrival this week. Some of us got a dusting of snow, if any. I didn’t even really notice any flurries Sunday night or Monday. If you were near Lake Erie or in the mountains of West Virginia, then you had more snow than we did. In places like Conneaut, Ohio, andContinue reading “Beginning Season Two of my Gilmore Girls Rewatch!”

Driving Up the Mountain: 25 Years Later!
It’s hard to believe, but later this month will be 25 years since we packed up my things and checked me into my dorm room at the Hiram G. Andrews Center in Westmont, just outside of Johnstown. That weekend was a changing of the guard as I would be away from my home for theContinue reading “Driving Up the Mountain: 25 Years Later!”
First Meeting of the Year at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Last night, we held our first Toastmasters meeting of the 2025-26 year, and our first with our new officer roles. For me, it’s year 15 coming up (June 1, 2011 is my anniversary). I’ll post the meeting recap on Facebook as well as my blog. The thumbnail that I’m using up top is from ourContinue reading “First Meeting of the Year at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Feeling Like Summer at Greensburg Toastmasters!
I follow a few friends on the socials who live in West Virginia, and on their pages I’ve seen these iconic swings that the state is known for. They say almost heaven and there a sign in the shape of the state next to them. I’m from Pennsylvania and we boast of the mountains asContinue reading “Feeling Like Summer at Greensburg 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!”
Where You Lead I Will Follow, That’s What She Said
Later this week begins the rewatch for two iconic shows that got most people through the pandemic and the events of 2020. Gilmore Girls got me through part of that crazy time as I started it before COVID-19 even made the news. Knowing what that a pandemic was coming and we’d be staying safe atContinue reading “Where You Lead I Will Follow, That’s What She Said”
It’s Time to Put Christmas Behind!
What a difference a week makes! A week ago this house was colored in Christmas and our yard was sparkling with all of the holiday lights. The cookies are still here, though they’re starting to dwindle. The turkey balls sit in our upstairs freezer, the rest being put away until another cold winter’s day. We’llContinue reading “It’s Time to Put Christmas Behind!”
A Cute Cardigan Christmas! *200th Blog of 2024*
Tuesday was our annual Christmas Eve party that just like previous years was at our house. Unlike past years, we had more people coming and we would hold it earlier than we usually would. 2020 and 2021 we had very few at the house and the same was said about 2022. ’20 and ’21 wereContinue reading “A Cute Cardigan Christmas! *200th Blog of 2024*”
Another Special Trip to Somerset!
Back in December, Mom and I made a special trip up to Somerset to pick up belongings for my Aunt and Benny, who were staying at Children’s Hospital at the time. We thought it was going to be another four month stay like this past Spring. That trip provided inspiration for today’s title, though itContinue reading “Another Special Trip to Somerset!”
