…last Wednesday. The Seattle Sounders were playing the Vancouver Whitecaps and Marg had wanted to come to a soccer game with a crazy fan like me. Enough of our season ticket holders in our row of seats gave up or couldn’t use their tickets so it was “game on” and John and Marg drove across the line to meet up at my house for an evening of fun.
First we’d join Dear in downtown Seattle for Happy Hour at Boka.
Thankfully Marg and John came disguised as Manchester United fans instead of Whitecap fans since they’d be sitting with us in Sounders country.
Our Happy Hour meal had many tasty choices that we shared around the table.
We made it to the game in plenty of time to get good parking and get to our seats well before the game started.
It was great to hear both National Anthems and see our flags side by side.
We were the best of hosts as we let the Whitecaps run all over us and take away the victory back North…oye. I was happy for John and Marg. Hopefully we’ll see better results for our team this Sunday when we play the Portland Timbers.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend to all the Mennonite Girls Can Cook and other friends across the line. May God give you thankful hearts to praise Him.
I’m not a follower of any sport but always happy to see others enjoying themselves. Love the food you enjoyed – looks delicious. Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes – we are blessed.
Happy times with your friends – always a good thing! Great photos!
That looks like so much fun! So great that you could enjoy this time together and Marg mentioned in her blog today that she borrowed some tablescape items from you for her Thanksgiving table! We are all truly blessed and thankful for friendships such as these!
That was surely destined to be a good time! So glad you could enjoy the yummy looking appies and game together.
Did they sing both anthems? Hope they got them right. 😉 What a lot of events going on in your neck of the woods. Always glad to see your fun, personal reporting. The Happy Hour food looks fantastic.
Yes, Arti, They sing both anthems with the words posted so you can sing along….
Looks like a lot of fun! Glad you got to spend the time with your sister.
I loved our event together…singing, cheering, watching tears flow down..and best of all cheering….OYE….OYE…..OYE….Your hospitality was the best and it could easily become a new tradition for me.
How fun to share your passion with a friend.
How nice to see Marge and her husband on your blog, Ellen. I love soccer games! The food looked delicious.
