Maybe you are just looking for yourself. So here you go with this week's selection. I stopped getting gel nails and acrylic nails during COVID-19. The pain of letting them grow out was horrid, and I decided that it was time. I tried so many different polishes and promises. It was not until I discovered BeautyGarde, a plant-based formula it works. It is called Rocket Nail Fuel.You put a coat of polish on every day. You can purchase directly from them or Amazon. I do not have the time to sit in a Salon for a manicure. The polish is not cheap, about $32 for a top coat, which you also use as a primer - and a ... 04/20/2024

You have decided to buy or sell a house, so after some research, talking with friends and family you call a few agents to discuss working with them.But, stop.

Tonight is the first night of Passover and Jewish people all over the World will be sitting down with their families and close friends and having a Seder dinner. What is a Seder, you may ask?

The Jewish people left Egypt in haste with no time to make bread; therefore, this is why Matzo is unleavened bread. It is the Story of Exodus and there is a plate on the table that each food/herb has a meaning. You will find the story in the Bible. This is a very condensed version of what a Seder dinner is.    This year with all the turmoil in the Mideast let us hope and pray it will be Peaceful   04/22/2024

 . We were all starving after looking at our New Kitchen plans for a house we are renovating. We realized we werejust around the corner from the Fireside Tavern . We knew it was going to be very busy , but it was only 5:15and we got a seated right away . It turned out to be Prime Rib Night and it did not disappoint. My Daughter ordered two 4.5 oz Crab Cakes ( all meat - no filler). My wife had Pino Grigio and I had an ice cold Draft . The Dessert menu was excellent. Needless to say , we will be going back soon . The Tavern is a 1/2 mile from the Strasburg Railroad and PA Train Museum.  04/19/2024
