More beauty pics...and a discount offer!
I have a habit of taking pictures of my favorite pieces after each kiln load. Here are a few crocks I thought turned out really well.

Mario Lemieux Foundation...
I received the following and wanted to share a wonderful cause:
This May I will be running in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon for the first time and there is no other foundation I would rather raise money and awareness for than the Mario Lemieux Foundation. As many of you know, my dad was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in September of 2012. After four rounds of chemotherapy, and a bone marrow transplant, he is on his way to beating this very rare and serious form of cancer.
The Mario Lemieux Center for Blood Cancers is a state-of-the-art center at the Hillman Cancer Center at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute that has become our second home this past year providing comprehensive care for patients with blood diseases. The doctors and staff at the Hillman have gone above and beyond their call of duty to closely monitor all of their patients progress.
Thank you for all the prayers and support you have all sent the [our] family the past year. Now in 2014, we ask for your continued support and are very grateful for any amount of donation towards this insipiring and incredible foundation.
Thank you in advance,
Elizabeth R

Travel Ideas around Pittsburgh...Our Mountain Playground and Other Stuff
Someone told me that if I learned to ski, Pittsburgh winters would go by much faster.
I think it's true!
We are lucky in Pittsburgh to have Seven Springs Ski Resort so close to us.
They have a Blind Skier program which was pretty popular this past season.
I saw these orange vests a lot.
The Foggy Goggle is a popular place to take a break or end the day too.
Place to stay by Seven Springs and Ohiopyle.

February In Pittsburgh...
Valentine's Day is coming up fast.
Here's what I'm thinking:
I love this place! We have Hofbrauhaus in the South Side, and
Penn Brewery in the North Side (http://www.pennbrew.com/) so I don't as often go to Penn Brewery over Hofbrauhaus, but the Penn Brewery groupon is a great deal.
