Happy Birthday, Grandpa!
Yes, we did the birthday phone call yesterday, mostly
because of the time difference, but now it’s officially his birthday, and he’s
still celebrating it anyway too; though I wish we could be there to do that
with him.
We haven’t had summer-in-Australia kind of hot weather, but
it has been pretty nice again for mid-January, and Rowen and I were ready for a
play day after school; so that worked out great for us. So did dinner and a movie night with some of
our favorite grown-ups; and the sleepover at my house that helped give Rowen’s
parents a kid-free night after Patrick and Scott ended up doing a sleepover at
the Faulkner’s.
All of that made for a great start to the weekend, and
bonuses included Dad getting home earlier than usual – in time for the start of
the movie; Rowen’s parents stopping in for a couple of hours after closing the
store for the night; and a special bedtime snack and story adventure that
included making and eating personal pizzas.
Rowen and I are still watching movies in the lounge; playing on our
computers; and having a nice, long telepathic girl and cat chat. The chat has been really good for Rowen, and
she feels a lot better than she has for the past few days. Mandy may have helped with that more than I
did, since her suggestions of how Rowen should handle ‘Tommy’ might be
cat-sensible; they would not work particularly well in the human tween world at
all. Mandy’s advice was really entertaining,
and though I didn’t have much to offer in the way of advice; I think that
talking about it all helped Rowen work a few things out for herself.
It’s been such a good day that there should be more for me
to write about, but there really isn’t.
We had a good day at school; play time after that, including some park
time with Ethan and Ehlana, was fun but uneventful; and there isn’t anything
special to report from dinner or our movie time. Since that seems to be it for tonight, I’m
going to wrap this up and move on to a little surfing while Rowen and I finish
watching the movie before going to bed.
Until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging
out!
