Ms. Reba must have picked Ms. Phoebe…

March 24, 2021 by dpankiewicz

I always knew when something went missing from the kitchen counter Reba and Crosby somehow were involved. While Crosby was always a little younger and shorter, the assumption is Reba had the stealth leaping ability. Whenever we were home Reba would rarely jump on the couch, but when we were out for the day she always would sleep on the couch. It’s only been a few weeks with life under Ms. Phoebe’s spell, but it is quite evident she has […]

How can we connect and be present in this Covid World?

December 4, 2020 by dpankiewicz

Welcome to December 2020! Let’s see we are in month number ten since this started back in March. All the sports fans in the United States were getting ready for madness, first the toilet paper run, right before the NCAA could have their basketball tournament. Then there was no Opening Day for the Cubbies or Giants in April. As the safer at home plan continued outdoor soccer and the Pittsburgh Marathon were also cancelled. Thankfully as summer arrived up north […]

Could’ve been lost somewhere on Broadway.

May 27, 2019 by dpankiewicz

There is something about being in the bachelorette party capital of the south on a Saturday. Everywhere you go there are party busses, pedal carts and woo girls. You may also run into a Carl Wockner, Jade Million or a few warehouse members that stumble into Acme Feed and Seed. If you like Las Vegas on NYC, Nashville has that same vibe, just only a few blocks instead of the strip or all of Manhattan. If you stroll just right […]

What did 2018 bring?

December 28, 2018 by dpankiewicz

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 2018. Something about the magical fibers emitted in the fur.

DURM, Bulls

April 25, 2018 by dpankiewicz

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the movie “Bull Durham.” In honor of that it was time to check in on the real life Durham Bulls. They are the AAA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Professional Baseball Club. The 2018 version of the Durham Bulls play in a ballpark that opened in 1995 and had significant upgrades in 2014. The ballpark was built first when they moved from the old park that was used for the movie, then the […]

How to Henderson Inn it:

April 23, 2018 by dpankiewicz

Where should one go on their first anniversary? Maybe the same place in paradise where we chill-laxed and had amazing food at The Beach Walk Cafe? Maybe in the commons? Maybe at the outlets? Maybe by sharing a piece of our wedding cake? Maybe a little cafe on scenic 98 named Camille’s? Or just a walk on the beach? Ok so we did a little bit of everything to embrace all that Destin has to offer. The highlight was dinner […]

Celebrate we will, with gratitude.

April 21, 2018 by dpankiewicz

Looking back on our little celebration from a year ago, these are definitely important and pertinent to our journey in life: A good marriage must be created. In marriage the “little” things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say, ”I love you” at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is standing together and facing the world. It is speaking words of appreciation, and demonstrating […]

Catching up.

February 23, 2018 by dpankiewicz

During the whirlwind settling in process sometimes it’s good to take a minute, breathe and be grateful for those people that make up who we are and what we have begun. Yes that means we were left alone to slumber in between the Pittsburgh rains. That may even be sun. But we did send something in today’s mail. Ok for the people- we had a little Arrigo get together in Washington. I believe the younger cousins were photobombed. The muscles […]

2017 in photos October to December.

December 31, 2017 by dpankiewicz

Party Deppen or was it Hil’s wedding? Not sure. Oh yes the Allegheny River had ice on it to end the year. Westlake Friends for lunch and a quick catch up. More soccer, why did I choose coaching over being a lone wolf official. Unity is a tough job. Communicating and changing perceptions and traditions is even tougher. Jim and Sue finally made it to see the Blue Angels. After hearing of their last trip to see them during the […]

Going through our phone we realized that we did not get a pretty clothes picture yesterday. We did at a selfie with the Ks. Mindy and Whitney Meet Gretchen she’s the best. Twirl.
