A beer tasted good at Pickle’s

Thank you, co-worker of my dear wife Karen who said Pickle’s would be a good play for a Saturday stop. A few draft beers go us ready for a big, big football Saturday ahead of us. We still had a few hours to prepare back at Karen’s home base before we set off on foot…

Big little college town

It was a splendid Saturday for my dear wife Karen and I to walk around State College, Pa. The Penn State football game against Indiana would not start until 7:45 p.m. We set out on our journey well before noon. The college portion of town is way, way bigger than the Syracuse hill portion of…

A Champ of a visit to Happy Valley

Ava gets collared

Chances are pretty good that if my dear wife Karen and I left the Food Truck Battle with a gift for our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B, Elisabeth and George Three picked up a little something for their cherished rescue cat Ava. I think her new collar is fabulous.

Of course they sold other stuff

The Food Truck Battle included artisans selling their products inside a state fairgrounds building. We decided on a bow for cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle. Upon return home, we saw she wears it well.

They soared overhead

George noticed them first, the trio of eagles circling the Food Truck Battle at the state fairgrounds Saturday. After a moment of letting my eyes register and my heart swell, I aimed my iPhone 8 and hoped for the best. Now can you spot the three, with my closer-up image?
