OSU vs IOWA

As I predicted there was cloudiness and sprinkles all day Saturday. Friday and Sunday were beauteous. What ever it's tradition to be wet when we have gatherings. Everyone came in shifts ,John and Whitney Robby and Brook on Friday,Carolyn and Steve and Debs Saturday morning. Bebe and Jim later on, and had their travel horror story, cause there is no easy way to get to Jasper. God forbid there is a wreck, cause there one way out and one way in.The Becks came in time for the game. Yet, we all had a great visit. Tons of food, lots of football and plenty of beer. I even went to bed fairly early on Friday to rest up for all the festivities on Saturday. I can't do two nights in a row any more. One just about kills me. Well unless there is an ocean involved.
We had it all, we celebrated Carolyn's birthday, and the Kinnett's 30th. Anniversary.The guys played golf, and we watched football. IU got creamed, ND won over Purdue, and then there was the Hawkeyes and Buckeyes.....Well we know how that ended, but everyone had fun, even the Iowa fans.

John and Rob played guitar later on, and Robby sang.I didn't know their songs, but I still enjoyed them. Carolyn and I were in our glory. Robby's dog Sidney added excitement every chance she got. Eating Hurkey Hawkeye feathers, snacking on bruchetta and pizzettes, and finding random items throughout the house to displace, eg. steak knives and Cabbage Patch dolls. (Which really freaked out big Rob cause "Richie Omar" is not much smaller than little Abe, so Richie spent the rest of the weekend on top of my China Closet. I sort of like him there. I going to start a new decorating trend with Cabbage Patch dolls....they're not just for kids any more! Every desperate housewife in Jasper will have to have one on their China Hutch.

I hope Robby's friend Brook wasn't too traumatized by the crazy weekend, she seemed to hang in there. When Rob was running around the house with his Ohio State flag after the game she looked at Robby and said , I could see you doing that. So now,I guess she has an insight to "our ways" which could be sort of nutsie if you aren't used to us. The group has had years to be this way, so ya gotta cut us slack. It was fun. And I didn't want it to end. So when each person left on Sunday I was sad. But guess what, we are seeing everyone in two weeks at the IU vs Iowa game. So I can wait two weeks.

I just want to mention my Buckeyes that I made. They really did suck, but it was not my fault. I was informed that I had a faulty recipe. Curse the internet. I have always trusted the recipes there. Never again!
