Big Boy Locomotive #4014 in Glenfield PA

Friends Debbie and Sy invited us to come see the giant steam locomotive with their visiting family and then see fireworks later in the evening. We had a great time. We were at a fenced in playground so the kids were safe. And they brought chairs! Nice planning. We went across the Ohio River to their house for dinner and then headed to Avalon for fireworks! What a day.

Deb and Sy went to Euclid Ohio June 8th last week and saw the giant Big Boy engine stopped, with a crowd and here are a few of the pics they sent me

Filling the Sugar Bowl

Do you keep a sugar bowl?

A friend was coming for coffee today and she enjoys a bit of sweetness in her coffee.I was filling my old Fostoria sugar bowl from my maternal grandmother as it doesn’t have a lid .

I drink my coffee black these days and although I love coffee ice cream I don’t add sugar to my hot coffee.
