Holiday weekend day two has
mostly been a wash-out too! :^(
It wasn’t raining first thing this morning. Mom, Dad, and I even exercised by the river
before the usual holiday weekend Sunday morning rush started. Most of us walked to church too, though we
had some drivers bring trucks, minivans, SUV’s, and cars along in case we
needed them to get home again. That
turned out to be a good decision; since it was raining by the time Pastors
Lewis and Martha set us free at a little after eleven.
The rain was on more than it was off after that; and it was
another indoor play day. Kara and Eddie
in particular were not finding that much fun; and it wasn’t as easy to keep
them entertained today. Dawn didn’t
really get a break from that, because Kara stuck to her like glue while they
were at the Inn for the Sunday night buffet that all of the visiting family
members were at tonight while I had a break with just Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle
Adam, and Aunt Leanne here for an easy-dinner.
A problem I haven’t seen before since moving here is how much extra food
we have when the back yard lunches and dinners get cancelled; and we don’t get
any of the drop-in visitors. We’ll all
be eating leftovers for the next week or more.
Mom and Dad non-optionally invited Chris and Martin to move
their gaming back to our house tonight so that Aunt Leanne in particular could
get a break; so they – and a bunch of their friends – took over the lounge to
do that. Dawn and I still needed to
entertain Kara, Eddie, and the twins for a couple of hours after our guests
returned from the Inn, and we mostly did that in my room until Scott and
Melanie collected their kids and took them back to Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s
house while Mom and Aunt Melissa took care of getting Ethan and Ehlana off to
bed.
Dawn and I did a little visit to the lounge once we were
free, but only needed about ten minutes to decide that we really didn’t want to
be there. Chris and Martin weren’t
making out with any of the girls or anything; but there were a couple of girls
who were very interested in them; and they were enjoying the attention. We closed the doors between my room and the
lounge; took turns in the Jacuzzi; and Dawn was sleeping again by the time I
was finished in the bathroom – though I have no idea how she fell asleep with
all of the noise bombarding us from the lounge.
For the second night in a row, I’ve been sitting in my
window alcove doing my nightly computing a lot earlier than I expected; and I
don’t really have any news to report.
Other than Jonathan, I’ve barely talked to any of the McEwans, and
Violet’s either been spending her time with Dillon, or with Chrissy and
Michelle. Tory and Kyle are popular
because of their engagement, but they’ve also spent most of their time with the
adults. I should mention that they’ve
earned their Bachelor Degrees, and will be going on to earn their Masters
Degrees in Marketing this year. That –
and planning for their wedding next summer – should keep them busy!
I’m not ready to try and sleep yet, but there really isn’t
anything else to write about; so I’ll wrap this up and move on to some random
surfing. Hopefully the noise level will
drop once most of Chris and Martin’s friends head home; though I’m sure they’ll
be up late again; and Jonathan is staying here again tonight. The rain is hopefully going to end overnight,
so maybe we’ll actually get one nice day to enjoy, and I guess if we can only
have one; it ought to be the day of the parade and picnic.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging
out!
