On Labor Day, we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and walk around Seneca Creek State Park. I was joined by Li-Fang's nephew, Lester, Melinda & Javi & Sofia, and Jonathan. We arrived around10 AM and parked in the free parking lot at the front of the front entrance. So we had to walk into the park. We explored the Pines picnic area and walked around the lake and around a little bit. We came back home by noon to a generous lunch prepared by Li-Fang. It was fun to relax and enjoy a little bit of nature.
Living thousands of miles from my grandson, it is a grand honor to participate in some of his activities. So when the opportunity arose to attend one of his soccer games, we were delighted to accept the invitation. Although his team did not win, the game was not about winning but was about rewarding every member with the same rewards: a large conspicuous badge and a sumptuous frozen treat and a photo op of the team and coach. Although he did not score and at times seemed not to know what was going on, we enjoyed watching him grace the soccer field with his running around the whole field. He seemed to be saying to us to watch him, which we did with pleasure. I am proud of my grandson for trying. One day, I believe, he will be a great soccer player. But for now, he is still my favorite soccer player in America. And that's what counts. Go, Blake!
