We Were Returning a Pair of Shoes

Steve ordered shoes online.

Tried them on. Too small.

Went to shoe department in the store.

No bigger sizes in stock. So no direct exchange possible.

We returned the shoes at the cashier. No problem.

A Grand Opening of a huge new store!

Fans lined up sporting #58 Letang Jerseys

It’s a big hockey town!

Steve took my photo with the Penguins mascot. No line.

Drove home in a pesky sleet storm.

Made macaroni and cheese, ate spinach salad.

I told the Penguin my grandkids will get a kick out of this photo.

Steinway Tower is Tall and Thin

I try to keep the blog IRT, but I took this shot Sunday and returned to Pittsburgh Monday. Thought the image was interesting enough to share today.

Steinway Tower is “At 1,428 feet, it is also one of the tallest buildings in the Western hemisphere, standing just short of two others in New York City: The 1,776-foot-tall One World Trade Center and the 1,550-foot-tall Central Park Tower.”

It’s pretty skinny

Athens Ohio Sky Guest Blog

Granddaughter Anna (20) sent these two photos of the sky. She took them from the seventh floor of the library. Sunset was at 7:55 and she texted me these at 7:17. These two pictures of the sky would perfectly illustrate the adjective foreboding.

I thought them quite a contrast to yesterday‘s post of grandchildren’s rainbows.

Columbus Ohio Storms Beautiful Rainbows

My granddaughter Maura(15) sent me the first photo. She’d gotten out of her high school 90 minutes early, due to the tornado warnings. Their Spring break was last week as she lives in a suburb of Columbus.

My grandson Charlie (8) has Spring break this week, as he goes to the Columbus City Schools. He took this next photo with his tablet. My daughter Laura texted it to me.

Fortunately neither family experienced damage or loss of property as so many others in the state did from the serious storms.

Here’s another photo Maura took of the light in top half of the trees
