The Merries are planning.. scheming.. getting ideas for this year's Halloween costumes. Will it be award winning again?  And one of them talks about a little trip over the big pond to London.

The Merry's did some separate traveling, some traveling together and then entered themselves into a Sing the Signs contest being held to promote Pittsburgh's Market Square retailers!  They sang a parking sign!

Here them discuss their internal "contest" to gather Facebook followers!

The Widows gatthered at Eileen's house for a pasta and meatball dinner.  Lots of on-lookers and guests for dinner.  Two of the guests, singers Bill Dell and Jack "Johnny Angel" Hunt joined the ladies for a special episode.

This episode was recorded before the big trolley ride. Opening jars... cleaning windows.. helping arond the house... when living alone, who do you call for assistance around the house when you need it?

NOTE: By the time this episode as posed, the trolley ride will have occurred.  We're sure that will be a notable episode! Stay tune!

Was it 3 or 4 of the Merries that were sick since the last pod recording?  Was there really a "robot" medical assesment? But seriously, who comes to help ya when you live alone and you get sick?  Or do you want to be left alone?

A big storm knocked out the power at the Merry's podcast dinner but they were not to be denied!  The discussion, in the dark covered their thougths on artificial intelligence!

The Merrys gathered at Eileen's dinner table while Donna was on vacation.  They are looking forward to events and inviting all to interact on the Facebook page. The need to do and old-fashioned spring cleaning was discussed and, how, at this age... everything hurts for no good reason!

As you may know from following the Merrys, Jan doesn't typically cook but this week she did!  And they had "dippy desserts!"

Jan cooked a 1-pan meal, pork chops, and everyone loved them as they talked about spring and attending the 3WS cruise on April 25th. Hoping to see you all there.  Get info HERE.

Between birthday dinners, Lenten fish fry preferences and planning St. Patrick's Day events, the merry widows have their event calendar ALMOST full. They and with a traditional Irish durge!

Donna's dinner prep for this episode was featured on a recent segment of YaJagoff Podcast's Jeet Jet. Watch it here.

The Merries gathered at Jan's house for some ham barbeque.. leftover from what Jan created for some relatives that missed a flight! Then, it was time to have a discussion about fish on Wednesday AND Friday's or just Friday's and which local fish fry had the best fish!
