Another Night at the Ball Park!

We have just returned from Joy's and Esther's softball game.  Tonight wasn't as cold Tuesday night's games...thank goodness!  One big plus was that they only had to play one game tonight and it was the 5:30 game.  Tonight our girls' team lost by one point.  Joy pitched again so this was the fourth game that she has pitched and her first loss...not a bad record for a beginning pitcher! Both Esther and Joy did a good job of hitting the ball tonight and running bases.  They both had hits and both scored runs.  The Fall Ball season is winding down.  I think that next week is their last week of games.

I had school with Joseph and Isaac this morning.  Then Abigail, Joy, Esther, and Elijah all read with me. After lunch I read for a little while and then went downstairs to fix our supper.  I made a recipe that we have made for years and years...Roundsteak Sauerbraten...and served it over mashed red potatoes.  I call this recipe "comfort food!"  The gravy and meat have to cook in the oven for a long time so I had to get it going early in the afternoon if it was going to be ready to eat before we headed off to the ball park.  It was finished in plenty of time and we enjoyed it before leaving.

Woody walked six miles this afternoon.  He picked up a whole bag full of cans.  He was ready for a rest by the time he got back home.
