The holiday weekend is here, and other than
a bit of rain and thunderstorms early this morning; we’ve had an awesome day!
Tai Chi had to be indoors, but it was nice
out by the time we went to school; and we had a fun day there while getting the
school and town ready for the holiday weekend.
Michael and I were on the crew that cleaned up the paths around town and
at the park; including planting some flowers here and there along the way and
doing a bit of trail repair in the park where needed. the surprise for lunch for everyone was our
first pizza day, and Michael and I helped out with that a bit too – if only
with the deliveries and helping to get the younger kids fed and then deal with
the post-lunch clean-up. That helped to
make Rebecca and Jen’s second day of business really great, but I couldn’t help
out after school because Michael and I worked the dinner-to-close shift at the
Inn and were too busy to do more than help out by having slices of pizza and a
drink during our break.
The Inn was busy for dinner; and the rooms
are fully-booked this weekend too; which is why we were late getting out of
there by the time we had all of the work finished. We stopped in at the pizzeria again to pick
up bedtime snacks for our families and house guests; I stopped in for a visit
at Michael’s with the cousins that were still awake, but only stayed for a few
minutes; since I had hot pizza to take home too – and more cousins to feed
there. We have the Rice clan with us
along with some teens from the other families still here and hanging out with
our gang; so the pizza didn’t last long – and neither did my family time
because I need to be back at the Inn for the breakfast buffet that Miranda and
Jacob are having for the holiday weekend.
I did have a bedtime visit with Dawn and
Ehlana once I was ready for bed, but they moved on; and are now in the lounge
with some of the other teens and kids because they can stay up late if they
want to do that. I’ll try to add more
for the family news over the weekend with my updates, but right now; I really
just need to get some sleep while I can.
We’ve worked hard, but it has been a really great day too; so I hope
that the rest of the weekend will be just as amazing!
I have to go and find that out in real time
first, though, and will shoot for an amazing nap first that’s going to start
right now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
