Tuesday was our first Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting of the year. En route to Connellsville, I wasn’t sure how the meeting was going to go. New to FreeToastHost, I didn’t have an agenda prepared. One reason could be that I am used to doing things different at Greensburg. As I walked in the room, IContinue reading “Know It. Speak It.

Why Ligonier was a Wake-up Call!
I wasn’t one of the lucky ones to make it out to the railroad yesterday to see the famed Union Pacific train go by. However, some of my family members found a great spot to see it. The train passed through Altoona on Friday and made stops in Derry, Greensburg, Jeannette, Irwin, North Huntingdon, andContinue reading “Why Ligonier was a Wake-up Call!”
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!”
The Most Chaotic Night!
This past weekend brought with it chaos. The hot and humid weather made it unbearable to be outside. Our pool’s water temperature got as high as 90 degrees. Definitely some missed opportunities to work out in the air conditioning at the gym. With the heat and humidity came plenty of showers and thunderstorms, and theyContinue reading “The Most Chaotic Night!”
First Blog of 45!
Sunday was my scheduled night off and it was leading up to my birthday. I made plans with my Somerset family that evening. We would go to dinner and then see a movie. It was leading up to the major heat wave we would encounter in the coming week. Therefore, it felt cool by comparisonContinue reading “First Blog of 45!”
A Season of Success at Western Maryland Toastmasters!
Toastmasters Club wraps up successful year, prepares for new season Thursday night was the final Western Maryland Toastmasters meeting of the year, and I was in attendance (online).

End of an Era in Toastmasters!
This morning marked the end of an era. It was our club officer training. It was held online. It was the final event for Districts 10 and 13 before the two districts merge to form the new District 219 on July 1. Change can be scary, but it can also be exciting. I logged onContinue reading “End of an Era in Toastmasters!”
Eating on a Patio in Downtown Greensburg!
While enjoying my Matcha Latte at Caleese on Friday afternoon, I scrolled through Instagram and saw a post that really caught my eye. Summer in Greensburg means that dining out may involve enjoying your meal outside while enjoying a nice view of the city. There are plenty of restaurants (and even coffee shops) in ourContinue reading “Eating on a Patio in Downtown Greensburg!”
Storms roll in as Vacation winds down!
I wrapped up my last full day of vacation on Sunday with a trip to Cutie’s Coffee. That’s exactly what this week off missed. Last Fall, I was down there twice during the week off. Summer is in full swing, even though it doesn’t feel like it today. Still loving that Bakecation (Oreo Cheesecake) LatteContinue reading “Storms roll in as Vacation winds down!”
Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!
The first week off of 2026 is going by quickly. I’ve visited Toastmasters clubs, gone swimming, and went to the gym. Compared to my Fall 2025 vacation, it feels a little bit lacking. However, I’m not labeling this vacation week a bust even though things could have been better. I made a trip to aContinue reading “Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!”
