The top news story today is only known by a few people, but
it’s something that will be very important to everyone and Witch Falls; and
will be a big deal for our family business too.
Mom offered Sharon Palmer the same job that Miranda does for
our family business, except that if Sharon accepts the offer; she’ll be
handling our investments in banks, financials, and insurance companies; along
with some related businesses. That’s a
pretty big move up the corporate ladder from managing our little community
bank, but then Miranda still jokes with us about being an Innkeeper by day
while having her secret identity as a super investment manager. Ethan, Ehlana, and I are sure that Sharon will take the job;
and it’s going to be fun getting to see her more often; and work with her now
and then too.
Compared to that, there hasn’t been anything particularly
exciting to report from school or around town.
With a week and a half left to Thanksgiving, most of our lessons are
related to the holiday; and that’s kicking up the fun level a bit. Our football team’s first playoff match on
Friday is a bigger deal than Thanksgiving among the boys right now, but that
only affects the girl-chat in our class when some of the other girls talk about
who’s going to the game with whom; what they’re going to wear; or which boys on
the team are hot or not in their team uniforms.
Let’s leave that whole line of thought alone and move on.
With Dad in Crystal
Springs, Mom’s even
busier than usual, so Rowen and I took care of Ethan and Ehlana after
school. They hung out with us in the
lounge while we did our homework; we went to the park to play; and then we
watched television in the lounge until dinner was ready. Rowen needed to go home then, so it was just
the four of us for dinner, and then I helped Mom with the cleanup while the
twins supervised. We had that done by
the time Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne came over for our Magi Healing lesson and a
family business meeting; so we moved into the office where Mom did the Healing
lesson with Uncle Adam and me while Aunt Leanne did an elements lesson with
Ethan and Ehlana.
Mom and Aunt Leanne had quite a bit of work to discuss for
the family business, with my favorite part of that being the progress on the
new part of town. That will be winding
down as we get into winter, but the project is ahead of schedule, and Aunt
Leanne is sure that everything will be ready for spring when construction on
the first houses will need to start. I
can hardly wait to see what Uncle Blaine comes up with for those designs. I have a feeling that the homes, townhouses,
and even the apartment buildings are going to be very popular around town once
Aunt Leanne starts advertising them next year.
We all worked or played in the office until after ten, and
then Uncle Adam and I took care of the bedtime routine with Ethan and Ehlana
while Mom and Aunt Leanne finished up what they were working on. I came up to my room after that, and it was
nearly eleven before I got started on my archive and language studying. It’s one-thirty now, and I’ve had enough fun
for one day; so I’m going to wrap this up and pass out for a few hours.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
