Cassie's Journal - August 17, 2014



Happy 14th Birthday, Roger!

He’s had fun today, and while Michael and I were busy helping out at the Inn during his early buffet birthday dinner there; we did stop in for some of the birthday play time at his house while Michael was on his break.  There wasn’t a major party because Roger had picked having the dinner as the big event for his special day; so we were basically just hanging out together and playing some games in the back yard.  The main news that I have to report from the party is that there really wasn’t any news.

Compared to a year ago when Roger’s party was the first big event for us after Nora’s very noisy break-up with Tim – and his first kiss with Rowen; this was very uneventful.  That doesn’t mean that all teen drama has ended for our classmates and friends, but Michael, Tim, Rowen, and I aren’t currently involved in any of that right now.

That’ll change in another week and a day or two; so I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

Since I don’t really have anything else to add about Roger’s party, and Michael and I mostly just worked our tails off during the buffet rushes; let’s move on to the only other news of my day – even though I wasn’t really involved in it at all.  Mom and Aunt Leanne have been coordinating the back-to-school shopping trip for over a month now, and while I haven’t written anything about that in my journals, the trip is tomorrow; so it’s past-time to add a few comments.

First up is the news that this is going to be a very big shopping event.  The final number of shoppers is one hundred and forty-seven!  Even if you include everyone in the area; we’re talking about nearly ten percent of the people in town and the Ridge River district.  It is going to be noticeably quieter around here tomorrow!  One good news item for the parents is that Mom and Aunt Leanne managed to coax forty-three adults into going on the trip.  Yes, there are one hundred and three kids and teens going too, but the teens can mostly take care of themselves; so there won’t be any adults with more than two kids to keep up with while we’re shopping.  Mom also got confirmation that Melissa and Lily will be bringing Dawn and Jillian to Crystal Springs too; so it’ll be great to see them too – even if we won’t get much time to hang out together when we’ll be part of such a big shopping group.

That’s going to be a blast, and I want to get some extra sleep tonight so that I’ll be ready for the trip; which is why I came straight home after staying with Michael, Jake, Stephanie, and Rebecca to close the Inn after sending their parents home early.  Jake insisted on doing that because it’s the last chance they’ll have to do that before he and Stephanie head back to school next Saturday.  They, by the way, are not going on the trip tomorrow – they’re staying to help out at the Inn and will be taking next Thursday and Friday off instead to get ready to leave.  Stephanie plans to do her back-to-school shopping in New York instead of hauling a bunch of luggage with her on the flight.

Miranda, Rebecca, and Michael are going on the trip tomorrow, and Michael and I be travelling with his Mom, Aunt Sylvia; and Jessica, Ryan, and Sophia – though we won’t be shopping with them all day.  We’ll do most of that with Rowen and Tim – though I plan on helping Mom with Ethan and Ehlana for at least a couple of hours too so that she’ll have time to play dress-up with her friends too.

I can write about all of that tomorrow, and really do need to get to bed early for a change if I want to be at full-power by morning; so, until next time...

...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
