March Madness

The Golden Flashes easily secure NCAA berth!

Kent State crowned a dominant conference season by beating bitter rival Akron University 74 - 55 in the Mid-American Tournament championship Saturday night to reserve a slot in the NCAA brackets.
Go Golden Flashes!
Fun Fact: Television's Drew Carey was expelled twice from Kent State for poor academic performance.



We took a muddy walk out in the back. We saw birds' nests, 'spring' flowers, deer tracks; we smelled and saw a dead skunk; we picked up golf balls. We saw daffodils and jonquils coming up. Some of us with sharper eyes, found a white-tail deer antler. We looked for the other one with little luck.




From the World Book Encyclopedia: Deer are the only animals with bones called antlers on their heads. Antlers are true bones, unlike horns, which are stong, hard layers of skin.
The new IKEA , the Swedish furniture retailer, has opened in Butler County, the first IKEA in Ohio. Ten thousand additional vehicles are expected in the area daily. Folks camped out 48 hours before the grand opening Wednesday, March 12, to be the first ones in the store. The first 100 people in the store received a 'special'chair and gift certificates worth between $25 and $250. We figure we'll go, maybe, at the end of April.

Hello Mrs. Henry! Not sure if Janice has shared with you how much I enjoy your blog, but I check it daily and really enjoy reading what's happening!

I had to tell you that my mom and I made it to IKEA on Sunday. It is a fascinating store! We loved every minute of it! We were there for about two hours and could have stayed for a few more, but it was getting more crowded by the minute so we got out of there! But you will definitely enjoy it once you make it in!

Susan
