Cassie's Journal - October 22, 2012

Halloween fever has kicked up another notch today, and that’s being helped out by themed lessons in nearly every class.  For instance, in music class, Mrs. Robinson started teaching us simple versions of songs like the theme from the Addams’ family movies.

I know that I mention it occasionally, but Tai Chi is always more fun with Mom and Dad; and the Mondays after he’s back from his week in the city always seem a bit more special to me.  That made for a great start to the day, and the themed lessons helped keep the fun going all day.  We had rain off and on all morning, but it actually felt hot and muggy by comparison to the cooler weather we’ve been having; and Mother Nature gave us a break from the rain in time for our after-school play time.

For Rowen and I, that included taking Ethan and Ehlana to the park, and I’d say we can call doing that part of our routine by now – just as Ethan’s football moment with Michael and Ehlana’s ‘girl chat’ with our friends have become part of our regular Monday afternoons.  Our time at the football field isn’t always easy for Rowen right now, and she definitely wasn’t having fun today, so we kept our visit as short as possible and then moved on to take a walk along the river to the falls; had the twins entertain us at the playground for a half hour; and then headed for our homes when it started to look like it could start raining again soon.

While our Magi Healing lesson is usually the Monday night highlight; today it was Ehlana’s announcement that she’d like to start working with Uncle Adam on developing drought-resistant crops that was the most fun – and important.  She told us about that while we were having a family business and future plans meeting after the healing lesson, and though the drought this year hasn’t been in the news lately; it’s obviously been something that Ehlana has been thinking about a lot.  The research she wants to start now is part of the work we’re building the lab for, but Ethan and Ehlana are currently working on Grade Nine studies, and Uncle Adam thought that it was too soon for Ehlana to start working on genetics and bio-engineering until she and Ethan showed him that they’d been doing a little studying on the side; and she’d also come up with some very exciting ideas about how to engineer those crops.  Since I’ve had a couple of those moments with our parents, aunt, and uncle; I know exactly how Ehlana felt when she floored us with that little piece of brilliance.

Monday, October twenty-second, twenty-twelve is now one of those days that only a few will ever know was the start of a bio-engineering project that is going to change the world.  Trust me on that, since not only was I there; Ethan, Ehlana, and I have a pretty good idea about what’s going to be accomplished at our new lab.

There isn’t anything else to write about that could possible top that, but after Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne went home and the twins went to bed, I’ve been doing my usual nightly computing while in bed with Mandy; including getting my healing lesson archive studying done, and reading two foreign-language books.  I’m going to stick with getting a bit more sleep this week, though, so it’s time to pack it up and get to that.

Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.

“Goodnight, Cassie.”
