OSU v Marshall

Here is a picture of Brandon and a friend, Cole. This is Brandon at his first OSU football game as a student!!!!

Does he look happy???

On Monday, Brandon and I traveled to Columbus, OSU, to pick up textbooks and football tickets. The big smile on his face above is him with his football tickets, not textbooks, mind you.

We walked around campus, learned some new things,

especially about textbook buying/renting, etc.

Where did we eat lunch???

COLDSTONE!!! Thats it...just ice cream for lunch.

Apparently I am teaching him good habits before he leaves.

Happy Birthday, Meg!!!

Yesterday, August 19 was Meg's birthday. Happy Birthday, Meg! Us girls went out tonight and had a nice dinner at the Stable in Blissfield.

Summer Break...

...is over for Luc! So sad. He worked so hard this summer. He had a good weekend though. Him and Bob went to Michigan International Speedway for the NASCAR race (Thanks Aunt Jan and Uncle Jimmy). Then instead of coming home, they unexpectedly decide to go further north to Silver Lake Sand Dunes. They rented dune buggies and played on the dunes. Luc said he had a blast!! But the first day back to school is tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a good year.
Brandon is finishing up his last two weeks at ODOT. He will have a bit of time off and then on September 19 we move him down to OSU. I'm glad he is almost done with his summer job. Its been so hot and humid this summer and he is working outside all day. He has had some trouble with heat exhaustion (headaches, nausea, vomiting). Today he found out his dorm room assignment. He did get his first preference which was Steeb Hall. Steeb Hall is a learning community for Engineering. I am so hoping he has decent roommates.

The chickens and the coop

Luc continues his work on the chicken coop. He's made a ramp for them to come in and out of the coop and they have a fenced in yard spend time in during the day. They are getting bigger all the time it seems! Eggs in two months!

My Visitor at Work

A doe came to visit me at work today!! Just this morning, I cut up 8 apples and threw them out there. This doe came to visit late morning and then again in the afternoon. I actually had a lot of wildlife today...lots of birds, squirrels, and the deer.
This weekend was very busy. My friend, Janet, who is getting married this September, had a bridal shower Saturday which I went to. There was also a dinner party that night for Janet and Bob in Ann Arbor...neat place.

Happy Birthday, Lori!

Happy Birthday to my sister, Lori! Nice cake you have there!
