The big news buzzing around town this afternoon is that Aunt
Leanne sold another new house today – this one to Hannah and Nathan Draper;
possibly a combination gift from the Easter Bunny and early, new baby
gift. They picked one of the first few
houses that are going to be built along the river; and have one of the two lots
that edge the first bend in the river that used to be just outside of
town. With all of the construction going
on over there for the next few years, there will be a lot of noise to deal
with; but they’re going to have one of the nicest spots in the entire new
section of town; and they’ll be at the bakery during most of the construction
work hours anyway.
While the next news story didn’t escape onto the town grapevine,
Ethan and Ehlana ‘graduated’ from Grade Ten today. I honestly hadn’t thought about it, but their
original schedule to be done before March Break was changed when Mom and Aunt
Leanne headed to Florida. Then we were on March Break last week; Mom was
busy with the future plans work, including the groundbreaking ceremony on
Monday; and everything else they all had on the go; so they didn’t get the last
bit of work done until today. I’m sure
they’ll still manage to finish Grade Eleven by the time we’re out of school in
June; and be finished high school by Christmas.
I’ve been there, done that, and it’s still amazing to watch them go
through all of that work so quickly!
Compared to those stories, I don’t really have much to
report from school. The weather is
finally warming up again; though we’re not starting this holiday out with the
kind of day we had on the Friday before March Break. It was nice enough that Rowen and I could
take our new bikes out for a little spin after school without totally freezing
our butts off; and we rode around the new section of town to check out the
action there; checked out the even bigger and deeper hole in the ground at the
lab construction site; and rode around the trail at the park before heading
back to my house again.
We were supposed to have a work night, but Rowen switched
her shift to help her parents on Saturday morning instead – mostly because that
would be a busier day for them with last-minute Easter gift shopping and
holiday weekend visitors. Having a sleepover
tonight worked out better too, so we got parental approval for that; and had
Rowen’s bags packed and moved over to my house before taking a break in our
play time to help Mom with making dinner.
The rest of the evening has been fairly quiet for us. Violet got home at a little after seven, but
didn’t really spend much time with us before going out again to spend the evening
with Dillon. Mom and Dad worked in the
office to try and get as much done as they could so they’d be able to take as
much of the rest of the weekend off as possible. Rowen and I took Ethan and Ehlana out for a
walk and a bit of play time at the park; and then we played in my room and the
lounge. Our little Magi-assisted music
practices with the twins are always fun, and we followed that up with a movie
and telepathic chat before it was time for them to go to bed.
Rowen and I started a second movie after they went to bed,
and we’ve been chatting with Mandy; surfing the web; and just taking it
easy. Since we have church in the morning,
we’re going to bed once the movie is done; and that’s pretty much everything I
have to report for today, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
