Lazy Sunday...

Today was a rather lazy Sunday for the Neilson clan, other than soccer for Brenna and me at 11:30, Before that I went on a rather long and disappointing run, that is for another blog though. The Soccer Experience is beginning to become a great vehicle for both meeting new people and for getting some clients, once my table arrives. Martin is just a great guy and he is always welcoming! Today was an extra special day, because Brenna, despite not wanting to go, assisted on a goal, via a corner kick!! It was awesome, she had no idea that her kick had caused the goal and sorta hung around the net until the ball was moved back to the center line, the rest of her team was celebrating the goal, and she seemed ready for the play to continue!! Soccer (football) is not second nature to American kids, although she is catching on really quick...We were proud of her today, because she really tried, and although she does not want to admit it, she had fun...the smiles on the pitch were evidence of that!! After soccer we walked home to get some lunch, a haphazard affair as we cleaned out the fridge before grocery shopping later today. Rox continued to work on pictures, Brenna and i napped a bit, and then it was off to the mall, a mob scene on Sundays, to get some grocery for the week. Roxanne and I plan to go to the wet market tomorrow, as she has a day off from work, with the plan being closed. It is Wesak Day on Tuesday in commemoration of Buddhas Birthday and there is a huge parade and services all day, the kids get sweets and flags from the floats, and it is a night parade, so we plan to meet some friends at our favorite restaurant, Kapitans, and ten watch the parade from their condo property. Should be fun!! So dinner at home tonight, Rox is going to make her Shepard's pie, which is always good. Another good day in Penang! Goodnight all!!
