" Ready, set, go" ...said the beagle, by the looks of him ! Yes, the owners' dogs were also able to come along !
Walking for the heart !

This past weekend I participated in the Hearts in the Park Walk. The Pittsburgh Pirate Parrot also participated !
We went to *The Strip* in Pittsburgh.. a Wonderful marketplace ! If you like to cook and or eat... it's the place to go in Pittsburgh ! Plenty of little shoppes ( and vendors along the sidewalks ) for the gourmet cook ! Fresh Italian bread, cookies, coffee shoppes, assorted cheeses, spices, fresh fish, lobster, crab, etc. Great little restaurants ! Also, there is a world wide chocolate shoppe, little boutiques, arts including pottery, stained and blown glass, paintings, etc.. Too many shoppes to mention ! Musicians along the streets playing the trumpet, accordian, and flute. It's a day long adventure, for sure !
My sister and I ate in an Italian restaurant there featuring hand tossed pizza.. You could even see the chef tossing the pizza in the air ! For three dollars, you received a piece of pizza too large eat with a nice thick crust and very delicious ! One salad is big enough for two people to eat. It's a nice mixture of assorted lettuces, olives , tomatoes, etc... Wish I could remember the name of the restaurant ! For dessert, we had a coconut macaroon from an Italian cookie vendor ... oh, it was wonderful !

Considering it was supposed to rain all weekend... it turned out to be a pleasant one with warmer weather and sunshine !
So ..now it's back to work ! I want to get a little creation made for my blog giveaway..
Have a wonder filled day !
Hugs,
