We fed 16 hungry men and boys. The first members of the new girl’s basketball team were supposed to come, but the female teacher couldn’t make it at the last meet, so it was just Ali and the boys. I’m going to meet the girl’s team in the next week or so.

Maria and I went s hopping and served a lunch of turkey sandwiches with cheese and hot sauce and mustard and two kinds of potato chips and a country salad. Lots of talk about the book “Outcasts United.”

Tomorrow, pizza for lunch, and then the kids go home. If you can judge by the laughing and noise level, they are having a great time. So are we.
