Happy 16th Birthday, Sally!
It’s been more than six years since Mom and
I moved here, but since Sally was one of the first home-town kids to invite me
to her birthday party; the anniversary of that day will always be special for
me too.
She’s had a good day too; starting with getting
her driver’s license, and while she didn’t get a car or truck for her birthday;
she is looking forward to being able to drive on her own now and have the
freedom that all farm kids around here love getting to have once they’re
old-enough. I still don’t mind that I’ll
be among the last in my class to reach that milestone, but after our first
teen-only date in the city; I can at least appreciate the sentiment more than I
did even a couple of weeks ago.
Sally had a party at her farm tonight, but
that didn’t start until nearly an hour after the guys were finished their
football practice; so I had time to do my work and studying at home while
waiting for Michael. I used a time phase
for that; Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana took advantage of that opportunity to work and
study too; and we wrapped that up in time for me to get ready for Sally’s
party. We had a blast there, but I don’t
really have much actual news to pass along.
We had a fun, but fairly-standard teen dinner and party, though now that
I think about it; one bit of news is that Michael drove us out to the party and
back again instead of needing to get rides each way.
I’ve skipped over the news from this
morning and our school day, but there isn’t any news for me from that
anyway. Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana did spend
some time at the lab after they were finished school at lunchtime; but there
isn’t any news from there either – or at least no major breakthrough stories.
The party wrapped up at ten o’clock because
not only is it a school night; but Sally’s family is busy with harvesting some
of the fall crops; and that means a very early start to the day for all of them
– even if that’s just for pre-school chores.
Michael and I didn’t stay together for more than a couple of goodnight
hugs and kisses once we were back at his house; and then I came home to get
ready for bed and finish a bit more work that came in for me via email while I
was gone.
That didn’t take long; I’m worn out again
and ready to get as much sleep as I can; and that’s all of the news for today
anyway; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
