We’ve had a beautiful spring day that was
perfect both for working outdoors and playing.
I did a lot of both – working with Dad until we stopped for a late
lunch; and then in the afternoon and evening with Ethan, Ehlana, and some
friends and cousins. Michael joined us
when he could during his breaks from the Inn and after he was finished for the
day; and we wrapped up our night with a minor make-out session in the lounge
after Ethan and Ehlana went to bed.
The work was mostly garden-related; though
we did some work on the storage barn and by the river too. Once I was set free after lunch, I went to
the park with Ethan and Ehlana; and we eventually met up with Naomi, Aiden,
Zack, Brianna, and some other friends and relatives. Michael met up with us there and we played on
until we decided to go to the Emporium for our afternoon snack break. We picked up ice cream treats and drinks;
went to the falls; and had our snack there.
When Michael needed to be back at the Inn, I took Ethan and Ehlana home;
where we stayed outside to play; and eventually had dinner out there too when
Mom and Dad opted for an easy-meal that included cold salads and barbeque
chicken.
Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne, and the kids ended
up coming over when they stopped in for a visit on the way home from their own
afternoon play time; and decided to donate some food to the cause and have
dinner with us. That was fun, and so was
the post-dinner play time that I had with my sister, brother, and cousins that
got me out of the clean-up work. The
Carringtons headed home by around eight o’clock to get started on bath and
bedtime routines; I brought the twins up to the lounge with me to watch a movie
while waiting for Michael to come over; and then he caught the tail-end of that
movie before Mom rounded up Ethan and Ehlana to get them into tubs for their
own baths while Michael and I started a second movie that we didn’t really
bother watching.
He stayed until a bit after eleven o’clock,
but was falling asleep by then after starting his day so early with the
breakfast shift at the Inn; so I sent him home – despite the fact that we both
really wanted to just stay together and have another sofa sleepover. I got ready for bed after seeing him out; and
have been doing a bit of work in a time phase after seeing that some family
business work needed to be taken care of while checking my email. It wasn’t a lot to do, but the time phasing
was so that I can still be sleeping before midnight.
I’ll need to wrap this up without any
literary side-trips to do that, and there isn’t anything else to report from
today anyway; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
