Random Tidbits
On Saturday, Katie drove home from college!!! Well, she drove part of the way on Friday and part of the way on Saturday. She arrived home at 9 Saturday night, while Jo, Mom, Dad and I were in the midst of an intense rubber of bridge. Josiah gratefully gave up his place and Katie played on in his stead to win the game. She’s just like that.
On Sunday we watched a very depressing Cardinals game that they lost (as I said, they’ve been losing a lot) 8-4. Once this was over we went outdoors with the guys and played Frisbee in its various forms – but no, we did not play Ultimate Frisbee. Dad grilled out that night so we had oven fried potatoes with spicy and un-spicy chicken (for KT) and brats. Yum.
Monday I babysat at Ms. Ginger’s. It was just me and Gloria and we had fun together even though she was a bit grumpy – guessing ‘cause she was sick. Then on Tuesday Madison and I went down to Big Rock and ceremoniously performed the first swim of the year. It was COLD but fun; we were the only ones down there. It was deep and fast, but we made it out to the rock and back. Madison did some water ballet and turned a few flips and I attempted the Go run underwater, but it didn’t work that well.
Then this Friday I’m supposed to hang out with Heather at SDC. So a lot going on! By the way, Chris Carpenter is back for the Cardinals and he pitched five shutout innings last night to lead us to a win over the Cubs. Finally we’re winning games again. Oh yeah, and on Monday we’re gong to SDC for KT’s birthday and on Friday we’re going to SDC for Andrew’s birthday.
Sad game. The Promise Keepers just played a double-header in the now-combined lower and upper church leagues, and it was just pathetic. See, we were in the upper league last year and just barely snagged first place. This year the upper and lower leagues are together because there aren’t enough teams to split it up, and tonight was boooooring.
We run-ruled the first team after three innings, 15-0. We run-ruled the second team after three innings, 20-2 (the actual score was 15-0, but we just kept playing because we had thirty minutes left in the game). Dad is absolutely disgusted with the lack of competition and I think he may just want to lose a game just to say that it was a hard-fought battle.
I am tutoring Josiah in Chinese as we are heading to China in a couple of months. It has been great fun. Ta shi hen bang de xue sheng. Wo wei ta hen jiao ao. =)
And I trust in You / Lord, I trust in You / I believe You're my Healer / I believe You are all I need / I believe You're my Portion / I believe You're more than enough for me / Jesus, You're all I need
