I didn’t really think about the fact that Mom, Dad, and I
really haven’t spent much time together so far this weekend until Dad pointed
it out to me this afternoon while we were on our trail ride. Other than morning Tai Chi, and some cameo
moments here and there on Thursday and Friday; we’ve all been too busy with
everything else that’s been going on.
Even when the girls were shopping yesterday, I didn’t actually spend
much time with Mom. Dawn and I were
mostly doing our own thing; and she was busy with the other women and shopping
for the younger kids. That didn’t
actually change a whole lot today, but we were able to do the trail ride
together, along with Dawn and Rowen; while Grandma and Grandpa took care of
Ethan and Ehlana back at home.
It was another chilly fall day, but that didn’t keep us from
spending a lot of time outside. There
were two play trips to the park – one this morning; and the other after the
trail ride and follow-up snack and story time.
Dawn and I spent most of the day keeping our younger cousins
entertained; and Rowen helped us with that once she was finished helping out at
the computer store for most of the morning.
She was with us for lunch, but back with her family and guests for
dinner.
While I was busy playing all day, Mom somehow managed to do
all of the usual work around the house; have several quiet meetings in the
office; do a Magi lesson with Violet; and still fit in some play time too. Dad, Aunt Leanne, and Uncle Adam were at
least as busy as Mom was; and I’ll report more on all of that when I get the
details sometime in the next couple of days.
We – Dawn and I – are going to bed early tonight. She’s in the Jacuzzi now, and it’ll be my
turn once she’s finished. I still want
to get a few things done on my computer after finishing this, and I don’t
really have much else to report; so I’m going to end here and move on to the
stack of email I have waiting for me.
There’s still one more blast of holiday weekend fun ahead for tomorrow,
and then we’ll have a few hours to wind down and get ready to return to normal
life – at least until we start gearing up for the Christmas season in a week or
so.
Right now, I’m just going to get my nightly computing done;
spend some quality time with my Jacuzzi; and then get a solid night of sleep.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
