My day is not over quite yet, but Michael’s
here with me; and I’m seriously considering keeping him for a sofa
sleepover. I’ll let you know with the
next report whether that works out for us.
I’m writing this while freshening up and
getting changed, and Michael is getting a movie, drinks, and a snack ready for
us; so I’m going to keep this short. I
can always add details with the next update.
Tai Chi, breakfast, Michael and Tim’s
football practice, and mowing the lawn kept me busy all morning. I had lunch with Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana
before Mom took the twins and dropped them off at KidZone for the afternoon so
that she could do her shopping while they played with their friends. I took care of the lunch clean-up; and then
met up with Rowen, Tim, and Michael so that we could hang out together while
Michael was on his afternoon break. We
decided to bike out to take a look at the now-completed Solar-Wind farm; did
that; and then went for a swim at my house when we got back before Michael
needed to get to the Inn again to help with the dinner rush.
I needed to get to Uncle Adam and Aunt
Leanne’s house after that to help out with dinner; added in some kid control
with the cooking prep work and table and chairs set-up in the back yard; and then
we spent a couple of hours having a really fun dinner and visit with our family
and a bunch of friends while we all wanted to visit with our favorite
collegians before they head off to school again tomorrow or Sunday. The post-dinner clean-up took a while too; I
was in on the kid and teen play time in the back yard that included a nice long
swim along with the games and goofing around; and Michael caught up with me in
time to catch the game of tag that we played after dark. Glow sticks made that game more fun for the
kids, but with all of their giggling; it wouldn’t have been hard to find them
even if we hadn’t had a clear, brightly starry night.
Michael and I went for one more swim when
we got home before coming in for the night; we did the bedtime story and chat
with Ethan and Ehlana; and stopped in to say goodnight to Mom and Dad in the
office before coming up to the lounge.
They’re working because Dad needs to get a lot done this weekend before
heading into the city next week; so Mom’s staying up to keep him company. Violet and Dillon aren’t home yet because
they’re spending time with Josiah, Christina, and some other friends; but they’ll
be back here for the night eventually. I
don’t expect to be having any bedtime chats with Violet tonight; but we will at
least get to see them in the morning for breakfast before they need to finish
loading up her car and go over to Dillon’s house to visit with his family until
after lunch when they want to be on the road.
That’s enough for now, and I’ve got some
quality cuddling to get to with Michael now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
