Early this morning, I listened to a podcast and the guest was Kristine Eckart. I dropped her name on the blog this week as her new Gilmore Girls-related book, “Meet Me at Luke’s” will be released next Tuesday. The name of the podcast was called “We Ship It”. The We Ship It Podcast goes intoContinue reading “Listening to a Pop Culture Aficionado on the Pod!”

Yes. You Can at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Our word of the day on Tuesday at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters was Courage. We needed that during the meeting as the technology was not being so reliable. But, those of us in person and online persevered through the mess and made it another enjoyable meeting. We had three attending the meeting in person, while theContinue reading “Yes.

It’s the Last Day of Summer, and Relief is Coming!
Back in May, we were stuck in a damp, cool weather pattern. This coming on the heels of a warm, Mother‘s Day weekend when we opened the pool. I didn’t get in the pool until exactly a month later. Go figure with this Pennsylvania weather. The second half of the month was mostly cool andContinue reading “It’s the Last Day of Summer, and Relief is Coming!”
An Emotional Day
This past week was heavy, the Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah and then 9/11 the next day. 24 years later, that day still hits hard. Saturday was an emotional day for my family. We had fond memories of our beloved Gramma, aunt, and mother, Hilde Gaffron. My aunt posted a picture of the Gaffron siblingsContinue reading “An Emotional Day”
Friday Night Dinner at The Fat Squirrel!
Friday morning, my aunt reached out to me about meeting her for dinner. It was this place in Jennerstown that she liked, called the Fat Squirrel. We decided to meet at 4:30, and we got a table outside. The menu had some interesting choices for appetizers. We all agreed that the Sweet Potato Fries wasContinue reading “Friday Night Dinner at The Fat Squirrel!”
My Favorite Things at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting was a success last night, despite the small turnout and one speaker having to postpone until the next meeting. It was nothing our group couldn’t handle. Four of us attended in person with the three usual suspects joining us online via Zoom. I will be ending my speaking streak and goingContinue reading “My Favorite Things at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Did Summer Fly By?
As I said I would, I made it out to Cutie’s on Sunday for the first day of the new “Cutie Fall” menu. I made it for coffee, even though I missed the morning market that went on from 9 to 1. It was still steady around 3pm but not as crazy as it wasContinue reading “Did Summer Fly By?”
New Beginnings!
It’s always hard to say goodbye, and that includes the change of seasons. We had a summer dominated by heat and humidity, definitely the latter. After a wet spring, we dried up this summer and some places are reporting drought conditions. It’s shaping up to finish as our driest summer in a decade. But, givenContinue reading “New Beginnings!”
Ending August The Way I Began It!
August is ending for me the way it began, as I tried out a new cafe. This time, my travels took me to White Tree Cafe and Coffeehouse in downtown Irwin. It was a cool day like the first day of August. While on my way, I also had my autumn jazz playlist on justContinue reading “Ending August The Way I Began It!”
Is It Fall Yet?: Invocation or Speech?
I’ve been flip-flopping on what to do about Tuesday night at Laurel Highlands. Am I still going to speak? Yes, and I also signed up to give the invocation as well. I have two great ideas for what I want to talk about and either of them will be great as an invocation or preparedContinue reading “Is It Fall Yet?: Invocation or Speech?”
