History was made at the Ohio State Football game !!

This is the very COOL Navy vs. Ohio State home opener football game last Saturday. We WON !! Well, we should have won since we were favored and we were obviously bigger than those cute Navy boys, but...History was made at this game. We had only the 4th person ever (non-band member) to "dot" the "I" in Ohio on the field. It was astronaut (and we won't mention Democrat) John Glenn. He and his wife went out on the field for this awesome showing. There were so many band members on the field that they had to make the"script Ohio" 4 times on the field. They had over 80 Alumni band members also marching on the field and quite a few former drum majors out there...one was 92. HA It was a wonderful day with glorious weather. Then we went home and BYU beat #3 ranked Oklahoma, what a day.

Nanette's Birthday

My sister Nanette is having a birthday. I plan a lot to surprise her and this year was no exception. I wouldn't usually toot my horn about what her present was but...this video is just too funny to not share. I made an excuse about needing some Mary Kay so we drove home from the office in the middle of the day to her house. There was a delivery truck in the driveway and so we approached with confusion. I told her that maybe her neighbor was getting something. when she questioned the deliverymen about who it was for and they said it was HER...she about passed out. Enjoy the fun !

The History of Aprons

This summer I went to Questers with my mom. It's a group of women who love collecting and antiques. We heard this woman who was the "Apron Lady". She collects and teaches all about the history of aprons: their uses, fashions, fabrics and lore. It was fascinating! I loved hearing about how women used their aprons for everything years ago. In the morning they would gather the hem and carry the feed out to the chickens. Collecting the eggs in the apron and back in the kitchen they would go to gather up the hem again to take something hot out of the oven and dry a child's tears. She shared many fun stories and as the wind blew gently that day they would all blow along the porch where they were hung to view. Lunch and talk was held at the Hexagon Bed and Breakfast in Pentwater, Michigan. I'd love to stay there someday! We kept calling it the Octagon House or Pentagon House instead of the Hexagon House, I guess we're not too good in Geometry.

The best little swimmer !

At 1 1/2, my granddaughter, Kalle, is the biggest daredevil child I have EVER seen in my life ! She will constantly jump in the water and go under water and never choke or need air. Astounding. She kicks and finds her mom underwater and swims to her. It's the funniest, cutest swimming I have ever seen from a child. I love it!

My sister is crazy !

Ummmmm, people always say that I'M a little crazy, I think I have the proof that my sister is just a tad nuttier than me. What do you guys think? Yes, her son-in-,Lincoln, got a job and YES she's a little happy about it, HA. He came over to our store today to give her the good news and she went slightly beserk. I was concerned she was going to squeeze him to death, sorry Mallory, I was just going to get it on video so I could turn her into the cops.

Ha Ha

I'm not sure what it is about me, but I have a "familiar" looking face....or an every person look. Seems that when I'm in a crowd I always get asked my opinion on something. This was me in California looking at the floats for the Rose Parade. I'm just minding my own business and this woman starts asking me how I like the floats and where I'm from. As soon as I look at her she has a microphone in my face and there's a camera there. Ha. I also got interviewed after Ronald Reagan died and we were downtown Columbus at an Art Show. I also got interviewed at the Columbus Tea Party and it's on the This Week Community website with me and my sign answering questions. I tried to upload the link but it failed. Just me having fun I guess. My plain old average face...

Engineering and Full Employment

Other ingenious design flaws cause humans to have to stop on a major highway...stop traffic and make people slow down. This road in Illinois buckled and exploded. We found this citizen just kicking and scraping road chunks to the side so Craig and Kurt Dehner got out to help. Then they dragged orange cones to the spot. We saw 2 cars just ahead with blown tires from hitting this rift in the road. I called 911 and stayed in the car.

I saw these guys on the street in New York City. Honestly, do we really have to use humans to hold caution tape around wet cement?
