Blue and gold does make a pretty color combo

We got to see Michigan play Ohio State in men’s hockey.  My mother had the audacity to text me, “Go Blue”… 👿

We got distracted on the way into the Buckeye’s hockey game 🤪

The buckeye lady was calling our name….!

Added a four-footer to the collection

We had lunch at our old BK, I mean McDonald’s…

Wow, this new store layout is about as cold, sterile and impersonal as you can get.  You don’t even see a person except for the moment they call your number…

You might lose Andy and me here for a while….

…In case you never hear from us again, we were last seen at this booth in the antique mall…

Andy and I decided to check out some of the tools by stopping here on the way home.  Funny part was, I had a hard time getting him to this booth since he wanted to stop at most of the booths along the way to browse other cool things.  Fun, I think we have some future activities we can plan to hit other places :)

Only Andy…

…just standing there having a casual conversation holing a FOUR FOOT pipe wrench he’d just bought. Hahaha.  Look at the size of those jaws compared to his HEAD!

Facebook marketplace adventures with Andy…

This was the address given in Zanesville.  We pulled up and thought it might be abandoned… Cool house, but man it needs some love.

A moon bow for my early adventures with Andy last weekend.

Flat tire!

Chloe does great on our various adventures (walk, hike, care rides, etc.).  I’ve wondered what her tolerance is since her design isn’t quite optimal for such things, haha.

She finally gave up the other day.  She’d walked three miles with Laura and two days later I embarked on another around our block.  At about two miles in this is what she did!  I carried her for over a half a mile before I finally gave up and had her mommy come rescue her. I was rucking by accident… With a 45-pound bag…

Even better, I had an audience, Andy happened to drive by at the exact moment I was waiting for Julie (Julie was on the way) and he saw me (then saw Julie) and wondered what in the world I had done to need rescuing. 🤪

Seen on a beautiful walk at our “neighbors”

The paths at John and Savannah’s place are looking pretty nice these days❤️

Feeling blessed in my life!

I picked up some new flavors for us to try…

The deep fried ones were pretty good.  Just tasted like sweeter Oreos, which is about right.  The Chicken and Waffle were a little odd.  Mostly got a taste of syrup, and a hint of a smell of fried chicken.  I got enough for one for each of the four of us.  Andy got a whiff of the chicken ones and wouldn’t even try it, hahahaha.

Nice start to a day with Andy

He and I were on a Facebook Marketplace quest and we started the say at Waffa (our old Waffle House).  We even got to see our waitress Jeannine❣️

This pic is our view of the sunset over the new McD’s.
