I’m going to try to cover the highlights of
the day in a micro-report.
Top story of the day – the new apartment
building opened today for the first move-ins.
Official first month starts July first; but decorating and move-ins have
already started. Pastors Lewis and
Martha are two of the new tenants; and Pastor John, Stacey, and Rebekkah will
be moving into the Pastor’s house once his parents are settled into their new
apartment.
From our family business and future plans
meeting tonight, the news is that all construction projects are either
on-schedule or only slightly behind in the case of the medical center. The lab is a bit ahead of schedule; and Mom,
Owen, and Andrew will be kicking up their work there a bit more this week as
new sections of the building are ready and the computer systems can be
installed. There are a few other details
that we went over for our future plans, but I don’t want to cover any of that
here quite yet – most of it is related to future jobs or education for some
teens and college students; but nothing that needs to be written about in my
journal until closer to when those events happen – or after.
Top travel stories for the family business
include Grandpa Grant and Grandma Eleanor’s ongoing archive expeditions both recent
and upcoming. The planning takes nearly
as much work as getting the archives ready for transport and on the way
here. Charity and business trips are
always on the go now too; but other than keeping up with the news and regular
reports; I’m not really involved in any of that unless a trip has something to
do with one of the family businesses that I’m managing. Full reports on all of that action are
available in the travel archives if you’re interested in the tiniest details
about what is going on for all of that action.
Here at home in the regular world, we had a
fairly uneventful play day. I helped out
at Michael’s house in the morning so that we could have the rest of the day off
to play, and since Mom had Ethan and Ehlana with her at the lab pretty much all
day; it was teens-only for the afternoon for us – and Rowen and Tim. We biked the trails; went swimming a few
times; and had dinner at Michael’s house before he and Tim needed to get to
baseball practice. We also decided to
have a camping night at his house too; and set up two tents before dinner. I went home for the future plans meeting
while the guys were playing baseball; and then met up with them – and Rowen –
by shortly before nine. We didn’t have a
campfire tonight, but moonlight swimming was an option; and so was some
couples-only cuddle time when Tim ‘accidentally’ ended up in the wrong tent for
a while.
Rowen and I did not have a problem with the
mix-up; though we did vote against a motion to have two boy-girl tents all
night. I won’T mentIon any naMes; but
one of us was more disappointed about that than the rest of us. ;^)
Rowen and I have been in our tent for a bit
more than a half-hour now, and it’s only a bit past midnight; but I’m ready to
get some sleep. We haven’t decided what
we’re going to do tomorrow yet, but a long bike ride and picnic somewhere is a
definite possibility. Whatever we end up
doing, I’ve had enough fun for today; so, until next time…
…Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the
Light!
