We had left the pool and were going home
I didn’t really want to pick it up
but with the guidance of my friend Beverly on the cell phone and a grocery bag as a glove, I got it off the pavement onto the park’s grass. It had even crawled under my car!
Beverly’s husband Henry is the zoological expert and he identified the species from my pic A Red Ear Slider which I looked up and unfortunately is an invasive species due to pet releases.

The City of Pittsburgh Roving Art Cart opened the season at the Highland Park Super Playground on June 16th. There was a puppet show and Mr. Cann’s Aunt Mary Lou Williams was being honored in the show so he came to participate. He plays five instruments I learned. And he told me he’s a retired Bellman of the historic and classic Omni William Penn Hotel downtown. Over the decades he met over 350 celebrities he said.
Here he is playing along with a recording of the famous George Benson. He gave us his gift of live music. Click to listen https://youtu.be/_yizufqbZ0Q?is=1WUC2GDWpnEuDTDk

We were at a fabulous high school graduation party at Shooters Golf in Wexford PA. My granddaughter Shanti loved trying her hand with a child sized golf club.
A deer ran out across the driving range. Didn’t get hit by any golf balls, thank goodness
Wishing you a happy birthday, David .
Love, Ruthie
Playing a song for you today

And Flowers Pittsburgh is a local small business. Thursday evening I met Karen Toole, who along with a team of seven, arranged more than 75 bouquets of colorful flowers for the occasion!
Everyone got to take home a pretty bouquet that adorned my friend’s birthday celebration.
I learned you can host a flower arranging party for 5-10 friends or attend a floral design class in their studio.
