The Bags are Back!

For those of you rooting for me in my nontraditional fashion journey, the rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated again.  But first, Tuesdayโ€™s weather brought with it a Spring preview. For me, it was a nice drive down to Connellsville for my first in person Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting since September. 55 degreesContinue reading “The Bags are Back!”

Listening to a Pop Culture Aficionado on the Pod!

Early this morning, I listened to a podcast and the guest was Kristine Eckart.

The We Ship It Podcast goes intoContinue reading “Listening to a Pop Culture Aficionado on the Pod!”

Greensburg Night Market/Coffee Bean Visit!

Being the last Thursday of the month, Greensburg held its monthly night market. That meant downtown was going to be packed. The growth of this event has been so phenomenal over the last few years. I went a few times in 2020 to support small businesses during COVID, as the local restaurants and shops neededContinue reading “Greensburg Night Market/Coffee Bean Visit!”

Having a Bagel at Cutieโ€™s!

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon going down to the Driverโ€™s License Center. I was there to renew my license and get a REAL ID. Iโ€™ll need one of these if Iโ€™m boarding a flight in the future. My driverโ€™s license expires on my birthday, so Iโ€™m glad I got that taken care of. It wasContinue reading “Having a Bagel at Cutieโ€™s!”

An Amazing Launch in Morgantown!

On Friday evening, a launch was held at the Panera Bread in Morgantown for a prospective new Toastmasters club.

First Summer Drink of the Year at Cuties!

June is here and warmer weather is coming. After last month which saw below average temperatures during the second half of the month, things seem to be looking up.

Learning About Distractions at Cutie’s Bible Study! (Blog 777!)

Monday night’s Bible Study was worth the wait and it was one that I needed to hear (truthfully, it’s one we all need to hear). The subject was all about distraction. I arrived a little after five to set up my seating location, and went inside to get my coffee. I finished the In BloomContinue reading “Learning About Distractions at Cutie’s Bible Study!

Three Years Duolingo Strong!

Happy Duolingo Anniversary to me! Today is Palm Sunday and itโ€™s also three years of Duolingo learning for me! Learning a foreign language is a great skill to have, especially if youโ€™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”
