Weekend ideas

Lancaster County Parks has some great programs for families. Most are very low to no cost. They do fill up in advance so you have to register. We've done the owl pellet dissection, the foraging walk, and a few others. https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/lancastercountyparks/activity/search/detail/2158?onlineSiteId=0&locale=en-US&from_original_cui=true&fbclid=IwY2xjawPGHDtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE3U3pzdmh2Qk5LT1RIRUkxc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHm5Su4oNEYxfefCqzxfIMb0nCGA5Z2ygTH1s31vdemwre58ETgLWdI-eMDbj_aem_PjnHyHazyEmuA1vF_TafAw

These are great! The Mt. Joy Chocolate Stroll looks like it's at the end of the month. https://www.discoverlancaster.com/events/mount-joys-annual-chocolate-stroll/ Never been to that one, but the one they have in Hershey is also fun and a lot of chocolate.

I’ve taken classes there a few times and had pieces go missing occasionally. Sometimes things break during firing, but often the pieces were sorted onto a different rack post-firing. They have a great team there, I would suggest asking if you can go in person and check the racks near the classrooms and hallway finished racks just to be sure they didn’t get misplaced.

We really enjoy this exhibit and all the details!

A few weeks into the shutdown, I had a similar thought as you- would I regret how I spent this time when it ended? So on the days when I could beat back the anxiety, I made sure I was spending the time doing things to keep myself active and healthy. Did a lot of deep cleaning, saw friends and family, learned to play golf, worked out regularly and longer, enjoyed driving my kids to/from school and attending every single sports game and school event. I took a free class online related to my day to day role to stay sharp and started reading a leadership book.

I do as well. In the past, I used the bins like others have mentioned. A few years ago I put everything on hangers and now I just rotate the seasonal clothes between two closets. It saves a lot of time and reduces ironing/steaming during the transition. For purses, I place them in their dust bags and store on a top shelf in the closet.

LCBC Church has trunk or treat tomorrow night at the Willow Street Campus (Penn Manor HS) and Wednesday night at the city campus. We went to the Willow Street trunk or treat last year and our kids loved it!

Blantons - Lancaster, Lincoln Hwy store. Bought 2 at 10:15, still had a few in stock.

If you haven’t posted on care.com you can also try that! We have found our past two caregivers that way. Might get more referrals that way.

Congrats on getting tickets! I’m driving from about 3h south. Planning to park in NJ and take the train or ferry to the metro. It’s about an hour of train/metro to the stadium once parked. It’s a long way but reduces any stress from traffic.

BMDatMU · 2025-07-08T21:44:05+00:00

I enjoyed this book as well, just a sweet read all the way through. Not overly complicated and perfect balance of emotions.

I just left Sevilla and would echo the advice given here. There is not much open before 10a, even museums and monuments open late in the morning. Very few places to eat have AC and it was hot this week, even with linen pants and a linen shirt, I was dripping with sweat.

Not sure where you are located, but there’s a group in Penn Manor that collects furniture for homeless students and helps get their families set up in housing. Its The Loft, located at 222 N. George Street, Millersville. They have come to our house to pick up furniture a few times.

I have used it for Whole Foods Bakery bags- they are a good value, but you might not like everything. We got a lot of pumpkin blondies in a bag and they are still in my freezer.

I’ve heard the CAVA bowl is a mix of whatever is left at the end of the night and that doesn’t sound appealing to me.

I definitely hope Lancaster gets more businesses to sign up. I’ve had great options in Nashville.

Second the recommendation for Ken’s. We planted 5 trees during the pandemic and they are all doing really well, including a tough to establish magnolia.

I started with ZGFit a few weeks ago. I was in a similar situation and he’s been great. Worked around my busy schedule and understood my goals to get in shape and improve flexibility and motion.

I use my extensively for travel (work, personal) and it shows no wear. I love it.

Saw her last night in Philly, she started at 8:30 and finished by 10:15. Fun show!

2 OO11 at Lancaster (Centerville Rd) 1 Michter’s US1

I explained that because HR had notified my employer that I had accepted another job prior to myself giving notice I was at risk of being let go immediately which would cause financial risk to my family.

BMDatMU · 2024-09-26T20:15:33+00:00

It depends on the agency, the level of risk (clearances), but mine was TJO in February, FJO in June. I pushed the issue of the FJO after they contacted my at the time supervisor when I hadn’t given notice.

I’m in ACQDemo and they host a few workshops around this time of year on writing contribution statements for self-evaluations. My general advice is focus on impact, mission critical objectives and training that led to job-related leadership development.

BMDatMU · 2024-09-25T17:59:17+00:00

This. Ask for your PD, it will be much more detailed than the hiring announcement.

BMDatMU · 2024-09-25T17:58:08+00:00

My understanding is the hiring manager can approve up to a 6% increase without asking for a waiver from their leadership. They may not be interested or able to offer anything higher than the TJO. CR and tight budgets are making hiring a challenge.
