Yep, Susan, I'm tickled green!

Perfect football weather: how did that happen? Great food and company: I know how that happened. And Michigan State University won again: thank goodness THAT happened.

My sister and her family picked me up at 9:30 a.m. We met Boo and his family out at the commuter lot and set up our tailgate. Breakfast pizzas from Ruby, cheesy potatoes and pickle roll-ups from Crystal, baked beans and fruit/cheese tray from me. Brats on the grill by Boo and Bull. The girls blew balloons up and tied them to chairs.

Parking at the commuter lot is free, but you pay to ride the bus to the stadium. Headed for the buses at 11:15. Got to the stadium in time for Baby Bull/Bull/Crystal to stop at the Spartan Spirit shop and for Boo's girls to affix green face tattoos and for me to start the trek up to the top deck where our seats were *grin*.

Poor Indiana. Michigan State has a habit of screwing up the game after we've upset a highly ranked team. (We upset Iowa last week.) We have a new coach now, John L. Smith. We didn't screw up today. 31-3. Yeah!
(Oh, and why do I find it ever-so-funny that John L.'s master degree of science in physical education is from . . . ta da . . . University of Montana!) What a combination of my favorite things.

Weather allowing we walk from the stadium back to the commuter lot. Weather allowed. And it was fun for me to see the kids lead the way back to the car. Who knows, maybe one of them will go to MSU. (Though two of Boo's kids want to go to . . . University of Montana for the paleontology program.)

It was a mighty fine day.
