Last meal with Espen and a fall picture

Guido and Espen

We had a Mexican dinner of chicken burritos, rice, and nachos on Thursday night for Espen. Espen will be out with friends this evening. Naturally, schedules being schedules, Sebino had football practice. Connie came over after the dinner for a chat with all of us while Ben, recovering from  surgery, stayed home and iced his foot.

This afternoon, the soccer team plays a traditional fun game among the players in what we call World Cup. The entire team, in pairs  of 2 boys each, play against one another in corner kicks. The winners may select shirts or gift certificate or a book from the original coach with money inside. It's a fun, if not hard-hitting battle. Espen reminded me that he and Moritz (2017-18) won World Cup when they were here.
