Go Bobcats! What a great day!

We here at David White Services absolutely loving being a sponsor of Ohio University, especially during football season.  The day today was gorgeous and the game against BGSU was also gorgeous.


We finally figured out our food.  We always try to take food that both our tent full of kids will eat and so will all the other tailgaters.  Hotdogs, chips, cupcakes, and bottled water seemed to go over very well today.  And with our tailgating grill it was truly a piece of cake!  Usually, my husband Tim does the grilling but he was a little late today so I set up. I managed to get the awesome tabletop grill set up and lit without singing off my eyebrows.  It was shocking how evenly and perfectly cooked the dogs were.  In half the time as our home grill!  It was really impressive.

Here's our set up, right next to the Green and White Club:

Another highlight of tailgating for me is the band.  Bands are just so happy.  And the most exciting band in the land, the Marching 110 never disappoints:

Another highlight for our family is Rufus the mascot and the cheerleaders.  And, of course, all toys and games and fun atmosphere that tailgating brings.

The communities of Lancaster, Ohio and Athens, Ohio are so wonderful for raising families.  I'm so happy our businesses are here!

Stay tuned for more posts about the Lancaster Fair this week!

Why I love fall:

I just love fall.  Sweaters, jeans, apples, pumpkins, baking, football, and school starts!  Yippee!  Call me crazy, but I love two of my three children being in school.  Freedom!

But I also really love football.  I follow the Cincinnati Bengals, OSU Buckeyes, and Ohio Bobcats.  Love them!  Anyone watch the Rufus-Brutus fight this year?  We were there for that!  Crazy.

You will see us tomorrow right here in Athens!  I'm making green and white cupcakes.  Yes, homemade!  Parents weekend and all I thought our tent should have something special.  So here's to a win!

I also love my gas fireplace.  It's so warm and toasty and I sincerely believe everyone should have one.  There is no messy wood, it turns on with just a switch.  It's vented so I'm not living with fumes: they go up the chimney.  It's beautiful in my living room.  I have super old and rundown furniture so it may actually be the prettiest thing in my living room, definitely the focal point.

Really it's hard to explain to others how nice it is to snuggle up in my Bengals sweatshirt or Snuggie (yup, I've got one) and watch Sunday's games curled up in front of my fireplace.

And all of the above reasons don't even include it saves money by reducing the amount of time our furnace is on.  It's October 8th and we haven't had our furnace on once yet!  Savings!
