I’m looking forward to sharing some of the fun drinks that my favorite coffee shops have to offer next week. But first, let’s recap Wednesday night’s Toastmasters meeting. It was a hot one Wednesday, pre-wildfire smoke and poor visibility. But I still came out to my Toastmasters meeting that evening. I made sure my hotspotContinue reading “Fun Features at Caleese and Cutie’s!”

Quality Time in Ligonier!
Recently, my cousin and I celebrated our birthdays. When there was a convenient time for both of us, we were going to find a place to eat out. My afternoons didn’t always work nor did her evenings. I mentioned that I had a couple of mornings off so we planned on lunch. I figured itContinue reading “Quality Time in Ligonier!”
Last Day of 44!
Last week, I exorcised some demons from my past. Friday morning, I had some loose ends to tie up. I got a bill in the middle of the week from the Sleep Center saying I hadn’t paid yet. I did some research and it turned out that I did, so we settled that Friday. It’sContinue reading “Last Day of 44! “
First Toastmasters Meeting in a High School Classroom!
It was the night… that almost wasn’t. The plans on this Tuesday of my vacation week included a visit to the South Hills Toastmasters Club. Before I decided to head to Canonsburg, I almost made the decision to stay at home and attend online. I’m glad I made the effort to drive to Canon-McMillan HighContinue reading “First Toastmasters Meeting in a High School Classroom!”
My Plans Were Altered This Week!
This week brought with it a change of plans from what I wanted to accomplish. Sure, the day after Easter was good. A little chilly after that warm Saturday when I was sweating it out at the country club during the baby shower. Some of us saw snowflakes Monday and even into Tuesday (well awayContinue reading “My Plans Were Altered This Week!”
Happy Birthday from Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!

Still, myContinue reading “Happy Birthday from Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
It felt good to drive down to Connellsville on Tuesday night for my Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. It felt even better telling myself that I’m all in after a January slump. Whether or not I honor that remains to be seen. Meeting online is nice but it has its setbacks. I can’t tell you howContinue reading “Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
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”
Driving Up the Mountain: 25 Years Later!
It’s hard to believe, but later this month will be 25 years since we packed up my things and checked me into my dorm room at the Hiram G. Andrews Center in Westmont, just outside of Johnstown. That weekend was a changing of the guard as I would be away from my home for theContinue reading “Driving Up the Mountain: 25 Years Later!”
Appreciating the Gifts You Receive
This blog is a day late but I had some things I wanted to add to it. I’ll still date it for Tuesday and I’ll preview my next blog set to come out on Thursday. This past Friday was Valentine’s Day. Weatherwise, it was the calm before the storm. It was cold, but it wasContinue reading “Appreciating the Gifts You Receive”
