With the holiday weekend upon us and a quiet one planned in my corner of the world, I thought I would wrap up my blogs about our recent trip to Pittsburgh. We went to support a couple who own Cuckoos Nest Magic Shop. We also rode the Duquesne Incline, checked out some of the sites where they filmed Jack Reacher and ate a late lunch at Nadine's. (By the way, if want to read about those events, you can click on the respective links.) One other place we stopped was at the Dor-Stop … [Read more...]

I am the type of person who can watch a movie over and over and enjoy it as much as I did the first time. Maybe even more. My husband, Bobby, is not like that.

The Ups and Down of the Duquesne Incline
I have been to Pittsburgh three times in my life. Once when I was a teenager (16 or 17 years old), once to visit IKEA (4-5 years ago) and on Saturday, April 23, 2016. Of those three times, I have ridden the Duquesne Incline two times. Both times were memorable. When I was there as a teenager it was because this was my first time to a "big city" without my parents. This time, it was because I got to use a little bit of sign language and enjoy making another memory with my husband, … [Read more...]
