I have a campfire and camping adventure to
get to, so this is just a quick update while I’m grabbing a shower and getting
ready for a bit of fun after a very long day.
Michael and I worked the breakfast shift at
the Inn; and I finished up in time to catch the last half of Ethan’s ball
game. His team, the Bakery Blizzard, was
up against Taylor’s Twister; and won a close game six-to-four. After that, I came home to do chores with Dad
in the back yard while Mom handled the post-game ice cream trip with the
players and junior cheerleaders before joining in on the work once that was
done. Michael had to work the lunch
shift too because he had his first ball game tonight; and that messed up our
time together too because his breaks were shorter so that he’d have the evening
off. He did come over for his shortened afternoon
break, and I wrapped up my chores then; so we had time for a swim and some fun
with the twins before we needed to be back at the Inn again.
I worked the dinner-to-close shift; Michael
helped with the dinner prep work; and then he headed for the school in time for
his game against the Solar-Wind Farm Photons.
Landry’s Lasers ended the family trend of first-game wins, but the
Photons needed the bottom of the seventh to earn the come-from-behind,
eighteen-to-seventeen victory. Rowen was
there to cheer them on for that game, and Ethan and Ehlana stopped by before
going on to the park with Mom and Dad for their co-ed ball game; but I doubt
that the ‘bad luck’ rubbed off – especially since the Lasers had been in the
lead at the time. That is one of the
jokes I’ve heard with the first bits of baseball news I’ve been given so far,
but the only real news is that the Roughriders lost their first game too. In their case, Connor’s Cowboys were a bit
too much for them tonight; and Mom and Dad’s team came up two runs short on the
way to the twelve-to-ten loss.
Yes, I missed out on all of that fun, but
Miranda needed the help at the Inn with some of the guys and girls off for
baseball or other reasons; so I’m glad that I could help her. I’m going to miss out on more of the campfire
if I don’t get going, though; so let’s wrap this up. I worked until nearly-ten; ended my shift
with the supply stocking of the library at the Inn so the guests are all set
for the night and their Sunday self-serve breakfast. Mom and Dad have a small gang here for the
campfire, but Michael and I only have the twins, Naomi, and Aiden for our
junior camping buddies tonight; and no extra teen or kid campers.
I can write all about that with my next report,
though, and I don’t have anything really important to add from the rest of my
day to this point; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
