The question of the day is, will we ever see an American πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ flag on this list ? Today we open our latest camp πŸ• on The Hill!

The 23rd edition of the Men’s World 🌎 Cup Soccer tournament is in the books, and Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ added a second trophy πŸ†.

As we look forward, will we ever have the opportunity for our first crown πŸ‘‘?

Playing the match in quite possibly the most electric venue (Seattle ) in our country, we fell hard against a talented team but far from a world power. Belgium πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ (loss, 4-1) did go on to score the only goal that Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ allowed on their way to winning the πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†.

It was fun to watch and cheer on the USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ eleven, playing in front of their own fans, and we are not there yet. The question is, will we eventually get there ?

Here’s hoping that the camp is an unprecedented experience for all that attend !

Impressive !!!

Let’s call πŸ“ž this one : Waking ⏰️ up on Fidalgo Island 🏝 !

The top of Mt Baker, the one we share with our Canadian neighbors, is visible from 50 miles away !

Swinomish Lodge is the welcoming mat to Fidalgo Island 🏝 as the picture of the Twin Bridges shows just how close one is to the mainland. The other bridge is the train πŸš† trestle.

The lodge is full of Indian art and historical information.

I’m not sure where the day will take us, but I sure enjoy the early morning view !

Welcome πŸ™ to Monday, July 20th, and we start with our Morning πŸŒ„ Brew!

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Howard Mayo with his Motovational Nugget for the Day 2:
Amen πŸ™

  Today, we will see πŸ‘€ Rebecca & Ronnie again βž•οΈ break bread 🍞 with another member of the Pic Six, Marty Graves !

What we won’t see today is the golden arches of McDonald’s because the World Cup meals are now behind us !

Maybe now, the focus can shift from collectible cups πŸ₯€ to losing πŸ“‰ the 10 pounds gained from eating at McDonald’s every day for the past six weeks.

If everything goes smoothly, we will have four more terrific days and then an arrival back home of late Thursday night.

3 Days of Soccer ⚽️ Camp πŸ• is set to begin shortly back on The Hill !

Have yourself a Blessed Day πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‡πŸ™β˜ΊοΈ
