Well that was a bit Soggy

You know how there aren't too many things more enjoyable that sitting outside on a cool, crisp fall day with a beautiful, crystal blue sky watching your college football team - well last Saturday wasn't that.  The forecast was for rain starting just about at kickoff and then for it to intensify as the afternoon and game wore on.  With the possible fun of lightening.  Fortunately, most of that didn't occur.  We had gray skies throughout, but the rain held off for most of the game only really getting serious late in the 4th quarter and then the walk home.  Fortunately for all, the lightening was a no-show.  But we were prepared with our ponchos and since we didn't chicken out based on the forecast, we got to see our team win against Purdue - not the cleanest of games, but they did win.

This was Jo's birthday weekend - I won't say how many years ago it all started, but the cake might be an indicator.  We had tickets for Friday to see the UW women's volleyball team win against Indiana so it was another all sports weekend.  Kathy joined us for Jo's birthday dinner beforehand and the game.  After the volleyball game we all enjoyed the chocolate cake, although very small slices, and did our best rendition of Happy Birthday to wish Jo into another fun, filled year. 

For the rest of the weekend we did some shopping and poked around our condo getting it ready for the upcoming renovation which is starting in a few weeks - yeah.  We got our final number on the reno on Friday and we are all set to go.  Also, finalized the last selections on Friday as well - laid out our outdoor grilling area.  Now we have to get mentally prepared to start seeing holes punched in our walls and for all the dust.  We are hoping everything we picked will go together and looks like the mental pictures we are carrying around in our heads.

We came home early Sunday morning to get in a little exercising and to catch up the things around the house before the start of another week.
