OH....IO...!!!

A few weeks ago, I was able to take a little time off and go back home. Since I haven't been back since last Christmas, it was nice to see everyone again. :)

This was just a little bitty kitty back in June. Now he's just a grumpy kitty when Lois holds him.
Tom's cousin, Libby, is a freshman at OSU. She'll be applying to the OSU nursing program this Spring. I had no influence on her decision to be a Buckeye ;)....
The newly renovated OSU library is gorgeous. Big beautiful windows and nice sittings areas for studying...If this was here when I was there, I would have studied there all the time!
On my trek across campus to pick up Libby, I saw that Celina marching band would be playing.
These are Alicia's folks, Papa George and Momma Peg.
Alicia and I at the game. Her family graciously gave me a ticket to watch the game with them.

This is my favorite bar in Columbus. Paula (pictured below) and I were both in the OSU nursing program. We spent many days studying at the Dube, eating potato skins, and drinking beers. Paula bartends on the weekend at the Dube, and is sometimes super nice by giving me a "nursing discount" when I come in.

Abbe had to work like a million hours at the hospital the weekend I came to visit. After staying up for like 2 days straight, she still found the time to meet me for a walk around campus.
On Abbe and I's walk, we visited the new union....which is freakin amazing. It's so nice, it's not even fair. When I was OSU, I lived at the Union doing all kinds of leadership and group activities. I remember the 1950's decor and how everything was falling apart and smelling a little funny. The new Union is ridiculously nice. If any of you remember the Union the way I remember it, go to the new one and marvel on what could have been if they only built it a few years earlier before we graduated. :)
