Happy sweet sixteen, Alicia!
For some reason, Alicia had better things to do today than hang around at our house, but we did the gifts and a birthday bakery treat with her yesterday at lunch. Hopefully her friends and family are helping her to have a really great day.
Mom and I loved having Dad back with us for morning Tai Chi, and Rowen, Ethan, and Ehlana all came out by the river with us while we exercised. Dad cooked breakfast after that while Rowen and I got ready for our ball game, and then we had nearly an hour to talk more about what we’d all been doing for the past five days before it was time to head over to the park for our team warm-ups.
I don’t think that the party had anything to do with the results of our game this morning. The Gypsies didn’t have any more of their players there than we did, and they needed a big win to have any chance at playing us again in the Championship match, but that didn’t really show up on the diamond today. Rowen and I both played great; and helped lead our Rovers to a fourteen to four win. Even with our little baseball league undefeated seasons are pretty rare, so winning all of our regular season games is cool, and if we win the Championship game too, that’ll be amazing.
While the baseball and post-game trip to the Emporium was great, the rest of the day until dinnertime was all work around the yard for me; and Rowen spent the rest of the day at the computer store with her parents. Mom and Dad wanted to get the big cleanup out of the way instead of needing to do that next weekend; so we had a very long to-do list. We took lunch and one afternoon break, but other than that, we worked through until six-thirty before stopping for the day and getting cleaned up for dinner.
We didn’t have any specific plans for the night, but the Emersons came over after dinner, and while our parents spent a couple of hours visiting in the living room, Rowen and I played games in the lounge with Patrick, Ethan, and Ehlana. The Emersons stayed for the bedtime snack and story time too, and then went home while Mom, Dad, and I took Ethan and Ehlana up to bed.
I was in serious need of some Jacuzzi time by then, and have been doing a little Magi computing while soaking out a day’s worth of work and play dirt. There isn’t anything else to report tonight, so I’m going to wrap this up and move on to a little light archive reading; and doing an update in our Magi project archive about a few things I’ve been thinking about since last night.
