At least this morning it was partly sunny! So glad the storms had passed. Today was our Pittsburgh day – twice in one week! I generally don’t go twice a YEAR! I drove over to pick up Mary at 11am, and was greeted by Poppy, her sweet dog! I also loved her ‘Home’ sign in her kitchen. Then we were off.

Poppy, with her one ear sticking up as is customary!

The Wheels on the bus…

We pulled up in front of the Benedum at 1pm. Mary and I walked around exploring and taking pictures before the house opened at 1:30pm. It’s a grand old ‘gilded’ building!

Clouds across the street but it was sunny where we were!

Waiting for the performance…

The show was great – the performers were professional, and the music was fun. There was a lot more humor and laughter than I expected, and I really had a great time watching the whole show! Sky was just cute enough and ‘bad boy’ enough to command respect, and Miss Adelaide almost stole the show. They were my two favorites. The ending was perfect and the cast was 100% great!

We left the Benedum and walked over to the bus, and passed the stone tower where Ron & I had our picture taken when he took me to Jekyll & Hyde for my birthday one year. Memories!

Many years ago….

We drove through Pittsburgh over to Station Square, where we ate supper at the Grand Concourse. Our dinner was a cold soup – a tomato base with veggies and bread cubes – with warm rolls and whipped butter. We had a salad with grilled chicken, then apple dumplings for dessert. It was definitely a venue that was a step above what I would normally frequent!

We headed back through Pittsburgh, across the rivers and downtown bridges back to Route 22. We pulled into the apartment buildings at 8:20pm. A huge thank you to Mary for the invitation and sharing her day with me! I’ve been to events with these people before and they are all very nice, fun and friendly and welcoming. It was a wonderful day!

TOMORROW August 14th is:

National Creamsicle Day; World Lizard Day.

Tomorrow I am heading to West Alexander to help Kelly get some things ready for the party – just prep work that can be done ahead of time. So I’ll be down there for part of the day. No lizards or creamsicles will be harmed in this project! Have a great week! God bless…
