We’re in Charleroi, PA, just
south of Pittsburg visiting our daughter-in-law’s parents Les and Fame. We took a driving tour yesterday of some of
the sites here in the Monangahela River Valley visiting several of the small cities
that line the river. This part of the country was the heart of the steel
industry in days gone by. The town of
Clairton was the setting for the home scenes in the movie “the Deer Hunter”. We
took a “10 minute ride” into Pittsburg for lunch at the Church Brewery in the
Lawrenceville part of Pittsburg. The
reference to ten minutes is because it seems everything here is 30 minutes
away. We had pierogies as an appetizer
to lunch and they were very good!After lunch we headed for the Sarris Candy
Company and indulged ourselves in candy and ice cream…”divine decadence!”
Today
we will bus tour Pittsburg and celebrate the birth of this wonderful country of
ours! As I celebrate the 4th
of July this year, I’m prone to think that even though we’ve got our problems
in this country with issues and such, I’m still marvelously blessed to be
living where I am and enjoying the freedoms.
HAPPY
4th of JULY!!!!
