OSU vs. Purdue

Buckeyes vs. Penn State

Buckeyes vs. Iowa

Another good weekend...
On Friday night, Pete and I met up with Jeff and Sharon, along with Pete's cousins, Tom and Tina and we went to the Hubbard Grill in the Short North for supper and a drink. Really had a good time!! GOOD people!!!

On Saturday, it rained right up until game time and so we never made it to  the Varsity Club or to Riverwatch. We pretty much stayed in the parking deck with friends that stopped by.

NO rain for the game... and one exciting game!! We played really poorly first half, but came back strong both offensively and defensively.

Here are the Buckeyes as they come out on the field.

On Sunday morning, we met up with son Ryan, and Dan. We then went over to Nationwide and High Street to watch my daughter in law complete the 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles) at the 34th Annual Nationwide Children's Hospital Marathon. What a great event!!!

Congratulations Danielle and Mike!!!!

GREAT Job!!!

OSU vs. Northwestern

vs. Wisconsin

Last weekend, we headed to Columbus for a Saturday night game.
Friday night we went to the OSU Girls Volleyball Game vs. Michigan. Enjoyed the calibre of play and the Buckeyes were victorious. Joe's brother, Don, flew in from Omaha and spent Friday and Saturday with us.

 A great crowd at the volleyball game

On Saturday, we were on campus by 1:00. We started by going to the Student Union to have lunch and watch football games. What an outstanding facility!

Here we are at the pre game activities at the Varsity Club with the Danger Brothers. 

Heading to the game... along with the Goodyear Blimp

With traffic and all...We got back to the hotel around 2 a.m.

Columbus ... to Cincinnati ... to Columbus

Last Friday night, Pete, Joe and I headed to Columbus. We again met up with our Columbus friends, Jeff and Sharon. We went to the Knead Restaurant on High Street. From there we went to MoJo's and then Joe and I walked up to the Arch City Tavern and eventually The Brothers Drake Meadery.

On Saturday, Pete got ready for the OSU vs Florida A&M game and Joe and I headed to Cincinnati for the Octoberfest.  Joe and I met up with Jeff, Ken, Kevin and Rick in Cincinnati and had a GREAT time at the Annual Octoberfest. Jeff was able to get us VIP passes to the Samuel Adams area.
