I like definition #1 of spontaneous...Being spontaneous isn't everyones cup-o-tea.  Many many people have to plan and think and think again and then plan more.  In fact, sometimes I am that planning thinking person!  Nope not today!  Today, little brother and I decided that we would get some ice cream - he wanted to drive to the shop up the hill.  So we set out to get in the car - When the garage opened he said - nope lets walk!  So, we switched gears and off we set down the boardwalk.  On the way - he spontaneously decided that he would have a hamburger at the fish and chips place before the ice cream.  Sounds like a good idea to me!  While we waited for the burger from the fish and chips place we ran into an American friend and her kids - we haven't seen them in about 1.5 YEARS!!!  YES, YEARS not days or months -  We enjoyed catching up with our friends over chips and a paddle pop!  All that from SPONTANEOUSLY deciding to walk to the shop not drive up the hill!!!!!

What a lovely way to spend the end of another gorgeous day Down Under!  God has blessed us with a beautiful place to live and friends to share it with.

Only 2 more days until my BIG event!!!!  GETTING NERVOUSLY EXCITED!!!  

BTW.....The event DOES NOT fit into the SPONTANEOUS category!
