A Piece of My Heart: Discovering Lisbon
October 29, 2026
I never really imagined the size of my heart to be anything other than average, but lately, I am beginning to believe it must be oversized. It has to be, because how else could I explain the phenomenon that, even though I leave pieces of it wherever I adventure, it still seems to be functioning just as it should? That is how I felt leaving my most recent adventure destination, Portugal. Once again, I felt as though I was leaving a piece of my heart behind, much as I did when I left the Rocky Mountains and the red rocks of the Southwest. The plans for this trip began many months ago when my children and I started discussing our next family vacation. Someone suggested we attempt an international trip together, and after tossing around a variety of destinations, we settled on Portugal. Why not? Just because our group of adventurers included four children ranging in ages from one to seven didn't necessarily mean the trip was destined to be a stressful disaster. I am happy to report it was anything but that! Both parents and children were amazing. The parents demonstrated incredible patience, flexibility and endurance, and I could not have been prouder as a mother and grandmother. Learn More
Honkin' Great Things Happen When a Community Comes Together
October 29, 2026
That was certainly evident during this year’s Goose Day season, when our team of “someone shoulds” was alive and well throughout the Juniata River Valley. You know the people I mean, the ones who say, “Someone should do this,” and then, instead of waiting for someone else, they step up and make it happen. This year, local volunteers gave generously of their time, creativity and talents, while businesses came out in full force to participate in, sponsor and support the many Goose Day happenings. And the result was something pretty special. The Goose Day season got rolling with the annual Goose Day Road Rally, where 31 cars and 118 very enthusiastic and very decked-out riders wound their way through Mifflin County in search of proverbial gosling gold!
