Going Back to Church in May!

April has come and gone and we are about to turn the calendar to May. Just like the past month has been active, so will the present month. The weather is trending cooler than average, at least through Mother’s Day. But May will not be at a loss for things to do, despite the unrelentingContinue reading “Going Back to Church in May!”

A Look Ahead to Summer Reading!

Todayโ€™s blog will be taking a look ahead at some of the books I am planning to read for the Summer. Itโ€™s only two months away, even though this morning and tomorrow suggest otherwise. I have some good world culture and music-themed reads coming up, as well as a romance novel for late summer. ForContinue reading “A Look Ahead to Summer Reading!”

Enjoying my Cutie Pebble Latte at Cutie’s!

I made good on my Sunday afternoon plans and the summerlike weather helped accentuate that. First it was off to Cutieโ€™s for a Cutie Pebbles Latte. It was so warm that the garage door window was up. I enjoyed my drink outside and watched the world go by. Afterwards, I parked my car in theContinue reading “Enjoying my Cutie Pebble Latte at Cutie’s!”

Be Careful How You Start Your Day!

Saturday morning (well, afternoon), I woke up earlier than I wanted to. I was contemplating whether or not to go to the gym before the severe weather was set to arrive. Therefore, I picked up my phone and saw something political on Facebook.  While I agreed with what was posted, it wasnโ€™t the way toContinue reading “Be Careful How You Start Your Day!”

Retail Therapy Coming Soon!

While my Cutieโ€™s visit was just me yesterday, I still made the most of my Sunday afternoon. The snow didnโ€™t keep me from going to downtown Greensburg, as it was mostly gone by the time I woke up. I wasnโ€™t able to meet up with friends, but that meant the opportunity was there to brainstormContinue reading “Retail Therapy Coming Soon!”

Books I’m Reading (in February and beyond)

January has come and gone (finally!) and while itโ€™s still going to be cold this week, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel.  This morning saw many venture up to Gobblerโ€™s Knob in Punxsutawney to see what the groundhog was predicting. Spoiler Alert: Phil saw his shadow, meaning six more weeksContinue reading “Books I’m Reading (in February and beyond)”

Last Blog of 2025!

On Tuesday, I blogged about some of the events that had the biggest impact on me in 2025. These ranged from Toastmasters events and clubs achieving success to work and my many visits to Cutieโ€™s. But, one of the other things that made news was the anniversaries Iโ€™ve celebrated in my own personal life. 2025Continue reading “Last Blog of 2025!”

Putting a Wrap on Things!

This week saw the end for some books that I read, as well as my seasonal coffee. I purchased a romance novel online last month, If It Makes You Happy. I read a couple of chapters a day and got it done within a month. I figured Iโ€™d like to read it that way toContinue reading “Putting a Wrap on Things!”
