Alvin and Katie at the Game

Went to another soccer game with Katey's team last night at a hot indoor dome in Auburn Hills.  They played another masterful game and defeated the other team with a score of 3-0.  All played well and completely participated in the effort with the goal keeper for the second half being an injured player who did the job of keeping the ball out of her net.

We also had the pleasure of meeting up with our other son Alvin and his wife Katie before they embark on their next Navy adventure first in Washington and on to San Diego for a more permanent posting.  He as achieved the rank of Chief now and runs a team of seamen.  It was wonderful to see them before they depart.  I love this kid in that he as overcome challenges and grown.  And we love his sweet wife as well. 

On the field these players on both teams played with such passion and intensity.  Getting slammed point blank with a ball and jumping high into the air for headers occurred multiple times.  They all just shook it off.  These are moms with little kids and former college players that just want to continue as long as they can.

And they have great wheels running at full tilt up and down the playing field.

My daughter, all 5'4" of her can really move without relent.  Very proud of her.

Shannon held court with all of her senior buddies earlier in the day.  Her new friend Irene had just returned from a cross cultural wedding in Ann Arbor.  The affair was in the Indian tradition and the couple gifted all the attendees with the hugging salt/pepper shakers shown above.  This small object casts a lovely symbolism that seems to be missing in today's world. 

Anyway, took a lot of pictures after the game.  Going to the VA for an appointment today and then on to the Riverwalk for a stroll in this sunny day

All for now

Stay safe
