I went to Ohio State University mostly because of the fabulous football team. Oh yeah, and they had a great business school, too. I visited my old alma mater this past week on Thanksgiving Day with my aspiring rock star son. OSU is still glorious, but the highlight of our day was our delicious meal at Lindey's in German Village. I've eaten there a few times and had forgotten how fabulous the food and the atmosphere is. The tight cobblestone streets, that lead to this almost hidden gem of Columbus, passes hundred year old houses graced with exteriors that just scream, I AM GORGEOUS INSIDE AND OUT. (I love houses....that's why I sell real estate.) But at Lindeys, the white crisp table cloths, the massive and impressive bar, the chic crowd and the scrumptious food cheered up an otherwise gloomy day. My son just doesn't like the traditional fixin's and there was nothing traditional about our meal. I did fall back to having turkey, but Alex ordered an amazing pasta, and ...

Oouie!
Okay! So a couple of weeks ago I had my first ambulance ride to a place I have sworn I would never go, the hospital. First of all, they smell funny, and there is something that lurks there that I just detest....germs. Yep they are everywhere. Being a little OCD , the last place I ever want to even walk into is a hospital. I won't touch anything, and please "Do not step into my personal space", because you probably have something I just don't want. Whether it's germs from another patient, or one of those long, metal, pointed things that they always insist on putting into your veins, there is absolutely nothing good here.

By the time I arrived I had lost two units of blood at least and knew bad things were coming when the ER Doctor said, Susan you have internal bleeding and ..... And, I said, what? "You are going to need a blood transfusion" and then he said something about scopes. Scope...
O ne of my favorite things and something I would consider fabulous are fresh flowers. They are not a luxury, but a necessity! I purchased this gorgeous bouquet at Findley Market, located in Over the Rhine in Cincinnati, OH. The merchant I bought these from, grows these beauties in fields and a greenhouse, and then brings them to market to give us a lift and a smile. Buying tip...go late...flowers are a little picked over but this $8 bunch was marked down to $5. They assemble them, with your favorite colors as you wait and violla a gorgeous bouquet that I adore and it makes me smile. Findley Market, winds down with the transient vendors around 2 - 3 so don't dilly dally. The outside vendors are my favorite as it's like Christmas. They bring something different every week and it's like a mini vacation going there looking at the latest bounty of the season. Flowers always are offered, and we are getting close to prime peach season. Sitting beside my stunning flowers is a littl...
