Jack's Buckeye Weekend

Jack and Scott had a LONG weekend in Ohio.  They headed out Tuesday after I returned from Minnesota.   Thank goodness for shorter days and conference week.  They got in around 2 am.  Up bright at early on Wednesday and they started to work.  They raked leaves, and more leaves, and then Jack hauled the leaves with the Kubota.  They also chopped stalks, Jack got to drive the tractor alone for the very first time.  He loved it although he did determine it to get a little boring after a few hours in the cab of the tractor. 

Aunt Kathy came out to see them, and she joined them for a few holes of golf even at the local Lyon's Den Golf course.  Grandma Shisler spoiled them with cookies, pot roast, lasagna and apple pie.  

Friday afternoon they headed to Columbus, had dinner at the Shisler favorite "Eddie Georges" with the Townsleys.  Traditions run strong on Buckeye weekends.

Saturday was game day, but since the game was an evening game they didn't race down.  They did get some tailgating in, as usual, and visited with some friends along the way.  It was the big 50th birthday celebration for Brutus, so we didn't think there would be any chance of actually seeing him in person...but alas, Scott proved us wrong and they found him not once, but twice.  And the Buckeye won too!  That always makes the weekend even better.  

Another great Buckeye weekend down in the books.  SO many memories are made on these weekends alone.  Treasured times.  I am so grateful Scott does this with the boys.  Building a legacy.

I am not sure which farmer is more tired here?







 They brought donuts to Jane Townsley, Jane LOVES donuts.  (so does Daisy)
