Greetings all- it’s time to re-post/publish those holiday recipes that we all love now in 2023. The world is at war on two fronts with the war in Russia and Ukraine creating uncertainty in Europe, and now Israel going into Palestine after Hamas reigniting a conflict that was created by the British post World War…
If there was such as a thing as a soundtrack behind my life, I’d say there is a whole lot of DMB with a smathering of everything else I grew up dancing to from my childhood until now. Dance is one of those total body movements that not only resets my groove, but also resets…
Dear Dog God, OK we may be a day or two late but after this crazy February weather in Pittsburgh, we have a good excuse. Between outdoor place and long walks we haven’t given dad much time to write. In this episode we talk about dog love and movies to watch. . . Yes! Phoebe…
Ok so how is this all going to come together? Hear ye, hear ye our Christmas special menu follows: Chartucerie and Cheese Plates Heirloom tomatoes with basil and balsamic Arrigo Italian Stuffing Grass Fed Beef Wild caught prawns of the sea in a garlic butter reduction Broccoli Blended Potatoes traditional style Cookies, pies, tiramisu Coffee,…
The last month of soccer season has been extremely long due to the extended travel time of just getting out of our neighborhood. I must say living through this upgrade means we are living in a detour and construction zone at the same time. We live in a great community for walking, meeting neighbors and…
I understand why Allegheny County has always been given a thumbs down from the residents of Armstrong, Butler, Beaver, Washington and Westmoreland county when somebody says they want to move into Allegheny.

On this day 5 years ago we were walking and laughing and dancing and loving on the beach. The song of the day has been the theme for the last 5 years of the rollercoaster of life. We’ve learned to be flexible and focus on progress over perfection. We’ve been faced with a whole lot…

Some of you may recall me saying we were in for a marathon of unknown when Covid-19 came to the world. Globally the number is at 6 million, while the US is almost at 1 million. In fifty years everybody will be asking why didn’t we learn from 1918? Oh by the way Tim says…

Item one eta to school is 6:40. Despite our best laid plans to roll out the vamanos 4-3-3 on the Burrell 120×64 the skies of lightning and thunder had their own ideas. What did we learn? We need to develop a new plan for goal kicks and building out of the back. That will need…
I had to pull this page back to the front. First we started with a paint job during the pandemic. It brightened up all of the old panelling and made those rainy days in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a little warmer. Then in 2021 we added a little grilling space. Needless to say meeting virtually…
Don’t let anybody tell you things cannot get done in the middle of a pandemic. This process may have started back at the end of 2020 but now that summer of 2021 is rolling along the change is starting to happen. The irony is this started one evening over Zoom with Leslie, Hilary, Drew, and…
I am not sure if a line from Patsy Caruso is appropriate here but the aluminum awnings are gone and the original wood siding is finally being covered over—almost 100 years after the original construction date of this wood frame house. Back in the day the wood was killed in Charleroi, the homes are being…
Hello American Football Fans: If you are counting down until the start of Pittsburgh Steeler training camp at Heinz Field, instead of St. Vincent College for the 2nd year in a row–to minimize Covid-19 exposure risk–you probably were not following the real football competition this sumner. The biggest all European football tournament was pushed from…
