My grandmother Charlotte must have taken the photo.
This morning before I headed back to Pittsburgh, I got to walk with Charlie to school. He rides his scooter.
I tried to keep up but at least got the chance to document his early morning trek to school.
Milkweed bugs are NOT pests according to this article “ Lesser Milkweed Bugs (Lygaeus kalmii) and Large Milkweed Bugs (Oncopetus fasciatus), look very similar to each other. They are differentiated by size and the design on their backs.”
Charlie found these Milkweed Bugs on the milkweed as we walked around his neighborhood. Their coloring is a warning to predators, “don’t eat me!”
Laura and James and Charlie’s neighborhood.
I’ve noticed a tremendous increase in Halloween decorations in Pittsburgh, too.
Guess people are feeling the spirits?
Columbus, Ohio. Charlie finished for the day.
Happy 18th Birthday dear Anna. May your birthday be the beginning of a wonderful new year. Sending much love to you on your day!
You can see how excited we all were the day you were born here in Pittsburgh.
Q
My mother Marian standing on wall on the the left and her brother Robert seated below her. Not sure who the other women are.
I tried to see if one was their mother, my grandmother. They must have taken their brother John to Boy Scout Camp.
I might discover I’ve posted this pic previously.
Saturday night, October 2nd, Grandson Jack (14) shot the city from atop of Mt. Washington.
City lights reflected in the Monongahela River. The family was in town for Michael’s rowing event.
First weekend of October, the Head of the Ohio Regatta hosted by Three Rivers Rowing Association and sponsored by UPMC.
The starting point was Washington’s Landing and the 3.2 mile race ended at the Point where the Allegheny River meets the Monongahela River and forms the Ohio River.
Grandson Michael was in the novice class. He’s in back seat in the 4 man boat. Unfortunately his 8 man boat was unable to race but we photographed his Olentangy Rowing Club teammates in their 8 man boat.
First two photos are taken near the Mazeroski Statue by PNC Park.
Vantage Point for 8 man boats was the Sixteenth Bridge above the Allegheny River.
