Kyle was up at 4:30AM to take his cousins to the airport. We really enjoyed having them here and can only look forward to the next time we get together especially since we did not get to see their sisters or parents. Meanwhile I was up early for an 8AM soccer scrimmage.The team is practicing for a big tournament next weekend. My right quad and groin muscles are still not 100% which makes me less of a shooting threat but it does not affect my speed or mobility. I returned from practice just in time to say goodbye to Nicolai and Jeanine who are driving to Vermont where Nicolai will spend a week volunteering as a camp counselor at a Montessori school summer program. Jeanine plans to catch a ride with friends and return tomorrow. With just Kyle and I at home I decided to exercise the full extent of my cooking ability and prepared a light dinner. The appetizer consisted of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil from the garden on top of Ciabatta bread. For the main course we had rigatoni with marinara sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
