Charlie and I wondered what vehicle filled up before us
I was bringing my grandson Charlie back to Pittsburgh from Ohio for a visit. Charlie got out of the car as he said he likes the smell of gasoline which was a surprise. Me? not so much. I especially don’t like the smell on my hands after filling the tank.
The total on the pump seemed astronomical. we wondered who filled up before us!
Laura and I were in World Market in 2015
And this beer blogger describes the taste in a post
Here’s the original 2015 post on my blog with this photo. Looks like Laura is holding the bottle.
Corncob Crafts Book from the Seventies
I picked this gem up at Moon and Yarn Craft Yarn Room in Bellevue. It was in the Free Basket.
I didn’t take this vintage Hazel Pearson Handicrafts publication because I wanted to create craft items with corncobs.
It just struck me as unusual and amusing. It’s corn on the cob season at the Farmers Markets in case you’re inspired. Other DIY vintage craft books from this company are available on Etsy.

Grandson Jack came for a visit in 2021 and we drove up to Mercer County. It was a rainy summer day but he fed a few animals, right from the car’s passenger side. We visited Keystone Safari.
I love the ostrich photo. I’d find stray food pellets under that seat months later, even after I’d vacuumed.
Not Exactly a Lap Dog
Oscar doesn’t know it, though.
Find a Subject You Know Nothing About
This container was in the Zanesville Convenient Store by the BP Station Exit 152 on Route 70. They had this cooler in the back by the rest rooms. Now I don’t fish but I have friends who do yet I know nothing about what bait they use.
Also what’s the difference between a premium night crawler and a Green One? This Columbus company (Columbus Wholesale Fishbait) states they are “convenient store specialists” and they even offer a vending machine for live bait, 24/7!

Anticipation on 21st Street
Waiting in the car about 6:30 AM Tuesday, I watched Steve come down the sidewalk with a couple of coffees from La Prima Espresso. What a great start to the day!
We’d just dropped off my sister Mary at the Amtrak Train Station. She was catching The Pennsylvanian to Moynihan Hall in New York City.
