Rose Bowl

Daughter Lindsay and son in law Adam called us at halftime of the Oregon/Oregon State game and said, "It's not often that you can give someone 'THE Perfect Gift." Then they told us they just bought us Tickets to the Rose Bowl. We were going down for the Rose Parade but did not have any tickets to the game and were just starting to poke around to see the possibility of getting some.

Many of you know, we are life-long Ohio State fans living in Oregon and we are very happy to have returned to Oregon with smiles on our faces.

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. You really do need to go and do it at least once. The Parade is fantastic. Back in the 50s, my mother had a part time job with the local appliance dealer in town. He invited us over to view the Rose Parade on the first color TV in town. Said to myself, it would be neat to go see that one day. It certainly was.

Here we are waving at you - did you wave back?
