The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: Pumpkins And Prevention!

 Well this weekend surely was quite eventful for me and my twin. For one, our little niece and nephew Lukey and Ava came down to visit from Long Island along with my older brother Codeman and his lovely wife Christine.

While Cody went with some friends to check out the Penn State White Out game against the USC Trojans, Me, Chad, Christine, Lukey, Ava and our mother went down to the McVeytown Fire Company for their Pumpkins and Prevention event.

Lukey was pretty excited to carve a pumpkin, but even more excited to be coloring Halloween characters like ghosts and bats. Ava tried to walk on a feet a little bit, she is getting so much closer to being able to walk on her own.

We got to see plenty of our friends at the event as well. As we walked into the Fire house, Chad and I got to see a face we hadn't seen in a while. His name is Ronnie Yoder and he was helping out his kids carving out a pumpkin. Ronnie was always a creative guy and it was pretty cool to see him and his kids being creative together. 

Also, we got to hangout with Doug (One of the Firefighter) and Amanda Boozel. Chad and I also got to see other people as well like Sierra Hassinger, Brooke Knable, Caleb Alexander and many others of the Fire Company.

I was happy to see Lukey have a fun time coloring and getting to meet people and learn a thing or two about fire safety and getting to see some of the equipment these guys use to help fight fires. Of course he really loved getting a glow in the dark fireman hat and most certainly loved the gift bag lol.

It was pretty cool spending some time with my little niece and nephew and I pray that they all have a safe trip back to Long Island.

And thank you to the McVeytown Fire Company for allowing us to come in and learn the importance of fire prevention. Also thank you for allowing me to use some of the photos from the event.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: McVeytown Fire Company 18

 Sometimes the most adventurous days come when you do not expect them and today was certainly one of those days. Chad and I went outside to take care of recycling and Chad had suggested we go check out the brand new Fire House for the McVeytown Fire company.  His boss from Kountry Kitchen, Amanda Boozel, her husband Doug is the Assistant Chief of the McVeytown Fire Company and they invited us to come over and check out the new the building. Of course we decided to go and see it for ourselves. When we arrived, Doug was not there yet, but we were welcomed by Nate Moist and many other members of the fire company and Moist went and gave us a little tour around the building. It was quite beautiful and I am glad to see that they were able to get the building put up. Now, remember when I said that sometimes the adventure can come when you least expect it. Well that came as we had just finished up our little tour, the alarm went off as a fire had broken out.  While Chad and I sto...

Remembering Aunt Jane!

Image
WOW! This blog post has certainly been something special to work on because it was something that I have been wanting to do for my family for some time now and at last, it has been completed. Being in such a large family like mine is, we have gone through a lot together in our lives. Recently we lost my Uncle Rick and Uncle Dave as well as my cousin Brett and my Uncle Rocky before that. Rest In Peace to you all! Miss you greatly! 🙏🙏🙏 So my goal was to help bring back some happy memories for my family! The reason I chose to write this was for one, this year marks 40 years since the tragic death of Aunt Jane. And second, honestly, I never got to know her, so I wanted to help get the family together and learn about her. As you see, she had passed away in 1986 while I was born in 1990. And boy! Did I ever learn a lot about her 😁. The common theme throughout my journey into learning about Aunt Jane was that she was such a kind and gentle soul who cared deeply for her family. Here are so...

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...
