My original plans for Thursday as I was still on my week off were to go into Pittsburgh and visit one of the museums. I was thinking about going to the Andy Warhol Museum. But between the cost of admission and parking downtown, I was looking for a more cost-friendly option. The Pittsburgh Zoo andContinue reading “Visiting the Neighborhood and My Little Stars Hollow!”

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.

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