A Crushing Defeat for Holland

Conditions at 7:00 - 21* and overcast (rained earlier)
Later - 22* and overcast with a chance of showers

Sunday morning, Meghan and I both slept in. She crawled out of bed at 11:00.
After lunch (cause she missed breakfast!) Brenda called and invited us to join them at the Dutch Inn in Cornwall to watch the final match of the World Cup with Holland vs. Spain. On our way to town, we passed the VanGaals mailbox and it was loaded with orange balloons so Meghan got out and took some pictures.
After a stop at the Superstore to get her concert photos printed, we headed over to the Dutch Inn. It was 0-0 for the entire game until Spain scored a goal in overtime. It was quite the event. Lots of people dressed in orange with some very interesting head gear. When we got there I asked Brenda where Bernie was and she said he stayed home. Wait a minute? He's the dutchman in the group! But we managed to have fun without him - afterall there was beer and food so how can you go wrong with that?

When it was over Brenda invited Meghan and I to join them for Chinese food for supper. After supper ( capped off with delicious shortcake with Brenda's biscuits, and Coffins berries) we went home where Meghan worked on her Taylor Swift concert scrapbook. There are a few spelling errors but I didn't correct them. I want it to be authentically hers, something she will appreciate when she gets older. She's really enjoying do it and has brought it with her this morning to work on while I do the blog.

Tonight I have some laundry to do, a bit of tidying and Raymond is coming over to look at the pressure pump and see what the job will entail. With any luck, it won't take long and maybe he can get it done this week. While I'm finishing up around the house Meghan is going to begin working on her second scrapbook. She has a few pictures she can work with and I told her that her mom will likely take photos when she's here as well, so she can add to it later. She's been very busy taking photos with my camera. She had great fun taking pictures at the Dutch Inn yesterday and lots of pictures of Cooper in the mornings.

It's amazing how entertaining a bag of stickers, some paper and glue and a pair of scissors can be!
