After a busy month of October that was rife with time off and other activities, the last week of the month saw a return to normalcy. It was ordinary, but I welcomed the tranquility.

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!”

My Pittsburgh Shopping Tradition!
On Friday, I picked up where I left off with my 2024 Christmas shopping. Instead of an unprecedented third day in a row at Westmoreland Mall, I took to Pittsburgh for the next round and visited the South Hills. This is something that I’ve done since 2016. The first trip was memorable and it kickstartedContinue reading “My Pittsburgh Shopping Tradition!”
The Tuesday Sports Page
Sunday was a great day for watching football ats it was too wet to do any outdoor activities. I was able to watch the Steelers-Commanders game and finally get some of my summer clothes put away. Pittsburgh played early while Philadelphia had a late start in Dallas. Both Keystone State teams were successful on SundayContinue reading “The Tuesday Sports Page”
