On Saturday we were back at Laura's before 11am for the Michigan/Ohio State kick-off.  At halftime, Laura and her dad and Richard left for the Illinois State University women's basketball game.  My sister and I watched the rest of that awful football game and crafted a bit.  After the basketball game we all met at Tobin's for pizza with Larry, Sue, and their grandson.

This morning we met for breakfast and Richard and I left from there for home.  We had a very smooth 5-hour drive and are glad to be here.

My niece Laura is retiring at the end of this month from her position as golf pro with Illinois State University.  The article linked below appeared in Thursday morning's paper, on the front page of the sports section - above the fold:

Her phone blew up for 2 days with texts and emails of congratulations.  I'm so proud of her!

You had a busy, yet fun long holiday weekend.

That is funny & sweet about all of the texts & emails.  The article is nice, and it is long :)  She seems young to be retiring.

I then had a 24" long empty space on my wall & didn't have anything that shape to put up there.

The artwork says "Friends stick together".  It is signed by our friend Diane Rivers whom we miss very much.  Bruce I don't know if you remember Diane.

Thank you, DR TCB.  I didn’t expect Michigan to win, but I did expect them to compete.  I knew we were in trouble when they missed the extra point after the first touchdown.

DR Jane, yes, Laura is retiring young, but has several different avenues to an encore career.

I wondered if that was her plan.  I wish her a good future.

I've been lying in bed, accompanied by Stella, Annabelle, and Thatch, reading the Cole Porter letters while they napped beside me.  The authors research still bugs me: their notes on The Guardsman, when Cole Porter turns down a musical version, mention the film made by Lunt and Fontanne, but omit the fact that it was a play by Ferenc Molnar and the Nelson Eddy film The Chocolate Soldier.  I think their research is pathetic, but I enjoy the letters.  Porter comes off as a very kind and generous man.

It's on my Amazon wish list.

Hoping Ginny's niece has an above-par retirement. I couldn't resist.

Watching the rest of The Great Escape. It's been a long, long time since I've seen this. Fun flick.
