USA v Spain Soccer Match
We rented a ZipCar and headed down to Foxboro to watch the World Champion Spanish team play the USA soccer team. It was a friendly and, as the Gold Cup starts in a few days, it became apparent the USA Powers That Be decided to use the opportunity to throw the USA younguns in to the big dogs and see who could play the big boys. And the answer was… none of them. The first half was pathetic. Luckily for the record attending crowd (largest crowd in New England for a soccer match) they subbed in Clint Dempsey and Bradley and all the old seasoned pros at the half. It was fun seeing Tim Howard and Dempsey and Altidore and Guch and the Spanish team though. (Donovan was a no show.) The game itself was a 4-0 rout. But we enjoyed seeing a world class soccer players playing at Gillette. Our seats were amazing! Row 2 – right next to Taylor Twellmen and Alexi Lalas! The American Outlaws section was also right next to us – and they are lots of fun!

Seattle Health and Well Being Check
Jeannette headed back west to her parents for quick weekend visit to assure herself that all was well on the western front. It was a great visit with getting to see family and a new puppy, catching up on some family business and also taking some time to hit the shooting range.

8th Walk For Hunger (& Mug Card Finish!)
We have now walked 160 miles to raise awareness of the hunger issues in our neighborhoods and the funds to support the fight against hunger. We want to send our sincerest thanks for your support this year (and past years) of our efforts. This was our 8th walk with Project Bread and The Walk For Hunger. This year, 42,000 people joined together to raise $3.6 million to provide food for 448 emergency food programs in our cities and towns. The funds will provide a hot meal or a bag of groceries for hungry families next winter.
Thank you for helping us raise over $1,200 in an effort to affect positive and systemic change to prevent hunger. Also the team we started at Baker House has now raised over $30,000 to fight hunger! We are proud.
Project Bread advocates change in our community and, while feeding the hungry now, attempts to implement changes to END hunger for the future. It is an organization we believe in and have chosen to support for the last eight years. We cannot express how grateful we are for your generosity and support in helping us strive for change in our community.

It was a gorgeous day for a walk this year and we started bright and early so we would be done in time to watch the Celtics game. After we crossed the finish line, we walked another mile back home and back to our pub to watch the game and finish off our mug cards! We figured it was a grand way to celebrate another successful Walk – we our now proud mug owners at our local pub.

Red Sox Game 3 – W v Blue Jays – 9-1
Fiallen Game 3
Our dear friend Bloomer called us up with extra tickets to the Patriots Day afternoon game. We had a great time catching up with him, watching the Sox get another win, spending some time in the sun and then watching some of the Boston Marathon as it runs right past Fenway. We saw some of our old Baker House kids dressed up as the Baker House mascots on the route. Bloomer can see the race from his roof – it’s pretty cool.
