Ehlana and Ethan:
The top story for us today is that we each
spent about half of the day away from home – with Naomi picking Ethan to spend
the day with her – and her family – while I was with Aiden, his parents, and
sister. We still got teased about that,
but at a distance when that did happen; and we had fun with those jokes. We all had fun today with everything we did;
though it was a bit weird to be apart too – especially when we were also nearby
and outside at the Drapers’ or Seagers’ homes; on the trails; or at the park.
Let’s back up and cover the rest of the
story for today in order.
Tai Chi was chillier but still by the
river. It was cooler during the rest of
the day too, but still into the high-sixties this afternoon; which is why we
were outdoors as much as possible. Sure,
everyone kept their distance from friends and neighbors, but that could be
entertaining too. That was true for our
morning workout; we had breakfast in the sunroom; and then Mom and Dad led a
little ‘small group’ meeting instead of the church service we couldn’t do
today. We headed for Naomi’s or Aiden’s
homes by late morning; so we were with them for lunch and dinner along with the
family play time. There really isn’t
anything newsworthy to add about our afternoon adventures, but we each loved
getting to spend the time with our best friends and their families.
We came home after dinner; took Silkie for
a bedtime walk; and then we had a long visit with Mom, Dad, and our favorite
teens before we started taking turns with Jacuzzi or bath time. Cassie, Michael, and May have also been
getting ready for resuming their online lectures tomorrow, but we’re ready to
head for bed now; so that’s all we have for tonight. There aren’t any new plans for our town
related to the coronavirus either; so week two of our semi-lockdown will just
continue as the temporary new-normal.
The spread of the virus continues to grow
at different rates around the country – just as is happening around the world,
but the timing of when that’ll peak in our area isn’t something we can predict
with any accuracy. It does seem likely
that the rest of our school year will be handled with the home schooling,
though; so we are ready for that if needed; and will be happy for the surprise
if that changes and we can get back to life as normal sooner instead of later.
We’ll keep you posted on how everything
goes for us, but that’s all for now; so we’re out of here and moving on to the
nap time part of our day.
This is Ehlana and Ethan Proctor; live from
the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
