Frito Pie
Happy Sunday! I have spent the majority of my weekend at the soccer complex for the fall festival tournament. The weather has been miserable (cold and rainy), but Emery’s team has played really well and we’re heading to the championship game at 2:00 this afternoon with two wins and one tie.
