Tis the season . . .

With the loss of a family pet this weekned, it was difficult to "get up the game" on Saturday. I watched the game (66-10 victory) against Coastal Carolina on HDTV (magnificent detail), but the zest and thrill of college football Saturdays just wasn't there . . .

Those who know me, also know my passion for Penn State football . . . and for the very few who follow this blog . . . know I usually put in my two cents on players, games, coaching, etc. I hope to "get back into the spirit" in the weeks to come . . . the Lions look like they could have a very good year . . .

In Memorium

Olivia Lynn, our first toy poodle, passed away Friday. She brought years of joy and companionship into our family's lives and she will be missed. Mother of 3, we are blessed to have one of her offspring, Madison, still with us. Olivia suffered from congestive heart disease in recent months. She was laid to rest on our property on Saturday and we are planning to purchase a granite garden memorial to mark her resting place. The loss of a beloved pet is always hard, the loss of Olivia is particularly devastating - she touched so many lives. Livey Girl, put your little head down and rest . . .
