We Made That and Family Valentine’s Day Celebrations

Jimmy is a co-owner of his family’s steel fabrication business. He has been blessed to do work all over the Pittsburgh area: the zoo, parking garages, residential railings, elevators, gates, stairways, water slides, and more. Everywhere we drive he can be heard saying “We made that” as he points at a cable railing or steel column in a parking garage.

This week, we took the kids to Sarris Candies for a little treat night! We wandered around the candy store and sat down to enjoy our chocolate when Jimmy pointed at the railing in the store and said “We made that.”

How cool is that railing? I think it’s made to look like licorice?! Or a candy cane? I have a cool husband 😎 (more…)
