The little warm weather break is passing through already,
and we’ve had rain off and on today helping to drop the temperature back down
to normal fall levels.
That made for a mostly stay-indoors kind of day, and we only
went outside to go to church; when Rowen and I went for an afternoon walk with
the twins in between rain showers, and when we all went to the late buffet
dinner at the Inn. Rowen and I had a play afternoon that
included the walk and a couple hours of fun in the lounge with Ethan and
Ehlana; a long music practice with our sax and flute; and a little video gaming
mostly because we hadn’t done much of that in quite a while.
Dad spent the afternoon and evening working in the office to
get ready for his week in the city, so Ethan, Ehlana, and I didn’t actually get
to spend much time with him except for at meals. Mom worked in the office too while Ethan and
Ehlana were hanging out with Rowen and me, and I’m sure that they’re spending
some quality time together right now as I write this; but let’s pretend that I
don’t know that and move along.
There isn’t anything else to report from around town today,
but I do have some family news via the email network. Aunt Grace is bringing Mark here with her for
the Thanksgiving weekend; and then it looks like she’ll be spending Christmas
with his family. You know it’s serious
when they’re starting to juggle holiday time with the families! Violet sent me a long email with a report
about her date day in Crystal Springs with Dillon, Jake, and Stephanie, and it
sounds like they all had fun with an afternoon of shopping; dinner at what
sounded like a really cool, old-style pizzeria; and a movie night. It’s funny, but while I do really like going
to movie theaters, and can relate when other kids at school that wish they
could do things like that more often than we can living so far away from
Crystal Springs; but I still don’t miss being able to do things like that like
Mom and I could back when we lived in or near cities. It has been a long time since my last movie
night out, though, so maybe Rowen and I should think about working on setting
up a night in the city sometime soon.
Anyway, I started doing this before my archive and language
studies tonight, and need to keep working, so it’s time to wrap this up and
move on.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
