It’s been a year since I last added to the journal. The reason for coming back is that we’ve moved and I want to start featuring both the amazing views from up here on Mount Washington and to also write about the experience of moving from our house of 40 years; a 200-year old house, in the Mexican War Streets, we renovated from top to bottom.

The thumbnail, on the home page, is of the sculpture, by James A. West, of Seneca Leader Guyasuta and George Washington. The sculpture is set at the western end of Grandview Avenue – a favorite with tourists because it shows the Point and the three rivers – Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio. The above image is of the Point on Sunday, September 22 – the Steelers’ home-opener. I took the picture from our large-room.
