We couldn't play Ultimate...but it was still a good day...

God made a beautiful fall day for us today. Perfect tempature. Beautiful. Couldn't have been better. But we couldn't play Ultimate, because no one else could play with us. Just five people isn't quite enough. So that was sad.
But, I have lots of things to be happy about.
- we watched a John Piper DVD today. He is powerful!
- yesterday was Mama's birthday so today we had a big breakfast and it was good!
- as I said, it was a beautiful day
- we had the windows open and the attic fan on all day! (mama usually wants them closed before noon so that was special)
- I played the piano a long time
- the others rode their bikes around the block alot
- the one little neighbor kid was riding his bike too…then I noticed that he was sitting in the middle of the road listening to me play piano :) but he didn’t there long.
- playing Vivaldi, and boy, is my Vivaldi rusty!
- reading Jim Elliot for an hour and a half
- Mrs. O came by
- we had [leftover] hamburgers for supper
- gmail
- looking at molly’s blogspot and laughing at all her very funny pictures
- I fixed my xanga profile (so that its actually about me)
- we had ice cream after supper
- the Reeves family left today to go up north to get the Reeves girls which I have been missing terribly…now, it will be the end of the month before they get back…but at least the first ten days are nearly over…


But if you're planning on playing Ultimate anywhere, let me know and I'll be there! :)
