According to WPXI News, two teen suspects have been caught in the deaths of two llamas — Peaches and Tango — from neighboring farms in Westmoreland County over the weekend.

Homeward bound
We are on the train back home to Pittsburgh, having had a great time but glad to be heading home. Sleeping in our own bed, for instance, will feel like heaven! I did the short row toe of a 2nd sock on the train ride up, then had no time to knit the entire timeContinue reading “Homeward bound”

We had a good, if busy, summer, between traveling to the Pacific Northwest to visit my folks, various social plans, BBQs, work picnics, etc.,Continue reading “The Summer that knocked my socks off!”
