What did 2018 bring?
Reba and Crosby are very grateful dogs. They have a great house or maybe they should make it plural. They were happy with the river, Charleroi, A-wall, little Boston, Canal Winchester, Upper Arlington, Monongahela or Destin. As long as they had beds and belly rubs they were good to go, rolling with the punches in…

We did Christmas a little differently this year. . .
No beach trip after dinner. No walks in the snow. No Steeler football game after the big meal. Yes it is Christmas and we rolled with it. Merry Christmas to all!

Bye bye smelly runner, hello poly.
Reba and Crosby are not quite sure how many days it is until Christmas. December 2018 is starting to feel like 2016 when the went from being homeless in Wisconsin, to snowbirds in Florida, to full time residents of Charleroi, PA.

Thanksgiving on a Saturday!
Oh my who would do a Thanksgiving on a Saturday? Or even only have steak instead of Turkey. I guess we should call that Ryan’s giving. Yes he’s back in the chilly commonwealth. Maybe the sun will show up again. So we’ve heard really amazing things about the Maples. It sounds like they are on…

Dishes anyone?
Just winding through the old homestead and figured if you needed to furnish a new apartment, bachelor pad, she-shack or whatever we’d put these out in the open before we drop them off at a local charity. Some are full sets, some are only half sets.

Hey CHARLEROI!
Remember this time last year when everyone was watching the Monongahela River? Just another reason to practice gratitude.

Frackwater cleaned up to drink?
Could the Allegheny River be on the verge of getting new technology? Or could Potter County be the location for the next clean water environmental camp?OK, maybe not it’s not going to be in East Brady, but definitely in Coudersport. It looks like the battle started over a year ago and the PA DEP is…

In California, Pa., residents want answers about Romanian immigrants
Here was what the Post Gazette wrote: Romanians seeking asylum are in California, Pa. as part of U.S. Immigration program PG California PA article. I know we mentioned that something was happening in Charleroi a while ago. My guess is the locals haven’t caught on to the number of people living in town from…

Some old photos for thought.
Over this holiday weekend it’s nice to take a moment and look back on some special places, people and events that were trapped in my cloud. It’s weekend’s like this where we must reflect and be grateful for what happened back in 1776. When the founding fathers took that big risk to set up a…
