Hi
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the atomic bomb being dropped on Nagasaki, the resignation of President Nixon resigned (1974),Robert Gray became the first American to circumnavigate the earth (1790).
My little girl is growing daily, she’ becoming quite the size an is still affectionate with RJ, she waits until he lays down and the scrunches up with him. Here’s the “bunkmates”:
We’re still working on what’s allowed and what’s not. She’s doing pretty good with not going out on the sidewalk. i need to stop the jumping on people, it might be cute as a puppy, but as she gets bigger we can’t have that.
They are moving the Thival Innovation Music Festival from Bakery Square to the Almono site in Hazelwood . Almono is planning 2,700 housing units and 2 million square feet of office an light industrial spaces on the 158 acre parcel along the Mon River. Hopefully they will integrate this new development with Hazelwood and not do what they did with development in Homestead that brought absolutely no benefit to the neighborhoods on the other side of the tracks from the Water Front retail development there. Last year at Bakery Square they drew about 10,000 people a day and they expect continued growth this their third year. They have quite the line up, see the link to see who’s playing and which day.They are fencing off a six acre spot to keep people from wondering around this construction zone.and getting hurt. Inside the fence they will have porta potties and food trucks.
Who knows their children better than their parents? Richard Scaife removed his greedy children from his will in 2008. Now Jeannie & David Scaife are challenging his spending in the later years of his life. It was his money to do with what he wanted. the younger Scaifes are trying to get the money he donated to various charities and invest in his passion The Tribune Review newspapers. Call me cold blooded for not being sympathetic to Jeannie & David, I don’t understand how those poor kids can get by with just $1M a month, they problably have to go to dollar stores to stock their pantries. 🙂
Don Giles and crew from Action Painting have finished both sides and the parts of the Mansion facing the Courtyard. Here’s the side of the Mansion facing the parking lot before;
And after;
I’m seeing a steady improvement in my motor skills and mental abilities. The most obvious to me is my ability to type is rapidly improving. I still lay down several times a day and my body certainly seems to appreciate it. 🙂 And I want to thank everyone that has called and e-mailed wishing me well.
i just has a visit this week from two very good friends from West Palm Beach, Mike and Joe. When you have good friends and see them again after a period of not seeing them, you just fall back in step with the friendship. It was such a nice break to have some time off and enjoy their company talking about old times and what’s new in my old town where the first Parador was .
August 10 through August 16 is Pittsburgh Restaurant Week a great time to check out old favorites and find new favorites. The participating restaurants and th specials they will be offering are on their website.
Have a great rest of your weekend,
