On my way home from my soccer match this morning, I noticed this newly completed house which shares some design elements with our new house project. Jeanine and I returned later in the day to check it out more thoroughly. Naturally, the outing ended at Kimball Farms for ice cream.

The soccer team I am playing with this season has many talented individuals but we have not learned to play as a team yet. We faced last year’s league champions in our opening match with many of our players still on vacation. The result was a predictable 0-4 drubbing. I played for 70 minutes and had our only shot on goal, a header off a corner that just skimmed the outside of the post.
