We enjoyed a late start and a big breakfast together. It's easy to sleep in when it's only 17 degrees outside. Toughing out the weather, Karen went into town to run some errands and I took our kerosene heater out to the garage to replace its wick. After getting that done, and working together to cut back the mums, rake some leaves and prune a branch or two from our rose trellis, we called it a day around noon. But so did the rest of Ohio as the Ohio State/Michigan game kicked-off about then. The entire state of Ohio suspends all non-essential activity during Buckeye games. Folks are pretty serious about their football out here.
Karen stitching her quiltBut that's okay with us. We'll take a slow day now and then. Karen's working on her quilt, Ohio State is beating up on Michigan (sorry Scott & Lela), I just finished a bowl of Karen's home-made Side Street Salsa with tortilla chips, and the dogs are sleeping.
The beating underwayAnd after the Ohio State game ends...the Penn State game starts! Does a double-header get any better than that? As Karen's a Pennsylvania girl, she'll be pulling for Penn State. I'll probably root for Michigan State to keep things interesting. I'd better grab another jar of salsa, another bag of chips, and open another Dr. Pepper.
Posting this blogWe hope you're having a great day and that it's warmer wherever you are than it is where we are. Thanks for checking in!

As you well know it's warmer here than there. It is supposed to be 80 today and get cooler tomorrow. We have all our errands done for todsay and JaNE IS COOKING HER FAMOUS Chili for tonight. Hope to talk to you tomorrow. Love Dad
The girl and I were rooting for Michigan, and Superman of course was rooting for Ohio State.
Hey chocolatechic,
It was a rough day for Michigan and Michigan State. There's always next year...
Karen, your quilt is beautiful! Thanks again for watching Ethan yesterday, and for our time of fellowship. I truly enjoyed it. You are such a blessing (you too Keith)! Thanks again!
