I could tell during the warm up that Sarah's team would win. The game was an away game, at five o'clock tonight, and the girls had arranged, with their parents, to go out for dinner right after the game. So they were loose and happy and looking forward to the restaurant. They certainly showed no symptoms of being depressed from their last losing game. They played well and confidently. Sarah played both games which I suspect was one of the reasons they won. She is not the best player but she is a bit of a cheer leader, always encouraging the other girls, even when they make a mistake. The other team early in the first game started to get cross with each other, which is always deadly if you wish to win.
We dined at Mommas Restaurant, a Mexican restaurant close to the site of the game. Of course, the girls all sat together and the adults ate at another table. But the best part was the conversation. One lady, the Mother of Grace, works in the field of energy, putting together investors and producers of energy. So we talked all through dinner about renewable energy, gas, oil, nuclear, and wind. She is very familiar with the Marcella's gas fields in Pennsylvania, and also windmill generation in Texas and the Maritime provinces of Canada. We really enjoyed talking with her, and I would love to see her again. I must remember to ask Suzanne if she knows her.
Another day and another game with the girls on the team happy with both. Tomorrow I will see two games of Abigail's volleyball team, who are undefeated. Also one soccer game for Samantha and Allison. Another day, another game.
