Grandma and Grandpa are currently flying over the Pacific
Ocean on their way to Australia;
and it’ll be Monday morning local time when they land. I still wish I could be with them, but
spending the morning working around the house, playing with Rowen all
afternoon, and doing one last holiday sleepover has likely been more fun than a
travel day that still has a long way to go before it’s over.
They haven’t exactly missed much here in Witch Falls
during their first day away. While I’ve
escaped a lot of work over the past two weeks, that ended today; and I put in a
solid four hours of house cleaning, and another hour working outdoors with Dad,
before being set free after lunch. The
good news with the diminishing snow supply is that Rowen and I could ride our
bikes pretty much everywhere we wanted to go this afternoon. That included stops at the park and school, a
warm-up break at the Inn that Miranda and Rebecca joined us for; and a handful
of cameo stops to visit with some classmates and friends we met up with while
touring around town.
While I’m thinking about our snack break with Rebecca, I
should mention that Jenny didn’t join us for that because she’s currently
spending a lot more time with Shane, and less at the Inn with Rebecca. I’ve thought about spending some time in the
kitchen there to give Rebecca some company while she’s busy, but I don’t see
how to do that without having Aunt Leanne teasing me about being there because
of Michael instead, and redoubling her matchmaking efforts; so I just haven’t
done that at all. For Rebecca and Jenny,
though, I suppose this little change does at least help out with separate best
friend and boyfriend time.
I really don’t want to stay on that topic for long, so let’s
get back to the recap.
We had an easy-dinner night; played for a couple of hours
with Mom, Dad, Ethan, and Ehlana; and have been hanging out in the lounge since
the twins were tucked into bed after their bath and bedtime snack and
stories. With just the family in the house,
I was able to put up my wards for a while so that Rowen and I could play our
flute and sax without bothering anyone else, and also include Mandy in our girl
chat. After our practice, we settled
onto the sofa and have been watching a movie for the last hour or so. Violet has been spending her last evening
here out with Dillon, Jake, and Stephanie, but she only brought Dillon home
with her; they’re in the living room now; and Rowen and I are sure that we do
not want to interrupt them tonight.
I don’t want to think about that either, and there really
isn’t anything else to report for today, so I’m going to finish this and get
back to our movie.
Until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging
out!
