Wednesday night, our Laurel Highlands officers all got together for a meeting. We used Google Meet, which was a nice contrast to Zoom. Iβve been attending online meetings since 2020 (when the pandemic forced us to hold them virtually), and this meeting was good, even if we didnβt cover everything in the allotted hour.

Looking Back at my Quarter-Life Crisis!
Iβve been βA Promised Landβ for about a month and made it close to the halfway point.

It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!
Last night at work, I began to notice signs of change. Itβs still summer, but Iβm seeing back-to-school displays up front.

I have yet to seeContinue reading “It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!”

So far, Iβm four days into my Stylish Summer 2025 Vacation. Has it gone well? What could I have done better? I think itβs gone pretty well. Like the Summer of 2024, itβs been a scorcher.

How I’m Spending My Summer Vacation!
My plans changed Monday night. All set to go to Bible study, the forecast trended towards rain and thunderstorms (which never came), our study was virtual. Some of us who attend every other Monday got together and had a watch party. Gianna led the study and started it by reading a couple of verses inContinue reading “How I’m Spending My Summer Vacation!”
