Thursday and Friday,
November 28-29, 2019
Thanksgiving, a day for family, football and food in the USA!
Our Thursday began early when visitors from Oxnard arrived at our house.
Cousins Kevin and Jacob
starting a fun two days together
Brothers Andy and Mike
enjoyed the last two days as well
On Thursday afternoon, we all dressed up and headed to my Mother's home in San Marino, California for our traditional Contreras Family Thanksgiving Feast.

My sister Linda does most of the work every year for Thanksgiving. Tonight's meal might have been her best ever.
Love couple in the kitchen

that Aunt Jenn had specially made
for each child
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving indeed!
As if we had not had enough to eat,
we stopped at Rolling Pin Donuts
in Camarillo on the way home
Such decadence!
Friday morning breakfast at
Cronies in Camarillo
Their breakfast burritos never disappoint us.
Michael and I decided to walk
home from Cronies to work off
a few of the accumulated calories
we absorbed the last two days
We past this museum on the
way home
It had a nice mural depicting
Old Town Camarillo
Kevin and Jacob playing
video games together
More cousin bonding later
in the day during the
Washington-Washington State
Apple Cup Game broadcast
The Huskies won the Apple Cup
for the 7th straight year
Italian DII is now up to 20
teams in 2020
The current total includes one team that is dropping down from DI, five teams that are moving up from DIII and 14 clubs who return from the 2019 DII circuit.
The 20 teams that have declared to be part of the 2020 DII season is one more than what we had for DII play in 2019.
EuroBall Experience XVI
starts late tonight
Our son Mike will be driving me to the Los Angeles International Airport late tonight so that I can catch a 12:05 a.m. Saturday flight to Mexico City for yet another American football experience.
This time I'll be helping coach the first ever Women's Europe Warriors team that will face the Mexican National Women's team in Mexico City on Saturday, December 7th at Estadio Wilfrido Massieu.
This Warriors team will be composed of 35 women from seven different countries.
This should be an interesting week, stay tuned . . .
