Concord Place had an enjoyable Halloween Party downstairs in the community room. Jim and Emilie came and we all had a really nice time.
The staff worked hard on the food and decorations, and it was all very pleasant. Most of the residents participated, wearing hats and wigs - some looked quite scary!
Dick wore his Halloween tee shirt - it says COSTUME - perfect for this event.
Mother held up quite well - she said later that it was very tiring, but she ate a full meal, and waved at several of her new friends. We were downstairs for about an hour and a half. We left just before the games began.
The Michigan vs. Northwestern game didn't start until 7 p.m. We settled in to watch the offensive struggle that we had been led to believe would occur. The bottom line is that it really turned out to be more of a defensive struggle - and Michigan came out on top 33-17. I'm not sure what happened to Northwestern's highly rated offense - except that they ran into Michigan's defense! I can't figure out what happened when they played in East Lansing and beat State so badly. It just doesn't compute.
This from mgoblue:
The No. 25-ranked Michigan football team jumped out to a 14-0 lead six minutes into the game and the defense shut out No. 21 Northwestern in the second half for a 33-17 win Saturday, Oct. 29, in Evanston, Ill. After U-M went 74 yards in nine plays on its opening drive, capped by Kevin Grady's one-yard run, Leon Hall gave the Wolverines a big lift when he forced a fumble and then returned it 83 yards to put Michigan up 14-0 with 9:07 left in the first quarter. Jerome Jackson rushed for 105 yards and Garrett Rivas kicked four field goals.
How about those 4 field goals! Go Garrett! Go Blue!!
