Mmmm…. last night was the first night of the season that we were able to sleep with the window open, which is one of my favorite things in the world. Our bedroom window faces on the creek, so we get all the creek noises: this time of year that's spring peepers and tree frogs, and last…
There was a check for $10 in my mail yesterday, from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority! That almost (but not really) makes up for their denying our WBE (Women Business Enterprise) certification last year. Who needs it anyway? We've already produced precast stairs for at least a dozen projects for them without having their piece…
Tonight I went to one of the training sessions for Beaver County election officials, of which I am one. Next Tuesday is going to be a big day! As you may have heard, Pennsylvania has found itself to be in the position to make a difference for a change, despite the late date of our primary.…

How fun! It doesn't seem to…
So I tried the new (to me, anyway) thing on Giant Eagle's website where you can create a personalized shopping list, either by typing items, or choosing them off of lists of previous shopping trips (which of course they know from my "Advantage card"), or clicking on weekly specials, or on items they've "selected" as…
This evening's run/walk (mostly running this time) was the trail at Brush Creek Park. I think the next time I'll try to remember to bring the GPS so I can measure the distance, but I think it's somewhere around 3 miles, with rough-ish terrain in parts. I didn't bring my cell for pics, but it…
I wish I'd brought a garbage bag. Next time. 0406081318.jpg Another disturbing thing I saw on my walk was a woman and her young daughter coming out the door of their house, on the front lawn of which was a sign saying something to the effect that a chemical lawn treatment had been applied, and…
