Ethan and Ehlana:
Happy 17th Birthday, Jaimie Proctor!
We talked with Jaimie this morning and sent a gift, but that was the extent of our birthday fun with her – and for the day. We’ll offer more news if we get anything interesting for Jaimie’s special day; and likely have nothing else so far because she didn’t know about any surprises.
As for our day, it was around forty again this morning, so Tai Chi by the river was chilly; we had a hot breakfast to warm up from that workout; and then our school day was better as the day went along and the temperature climbed into the mid-seventies. The warm-up didn’t convince us to play outdoors instead of at the lab or archives after school; we had fun with that; and then got home in time for dinner with Mom and Dad. Naomi and Aiden came over for our band practice; Mom did a Magi lesson with all of us too; and that added up to the best parts of our day.
Naomi and Aiden had company for the walk to their homes; we took Silkie along; and then came home again with plans to work in the office for a while. Mom only let us do that for an hour; she sent us upstairs after that; and now we’re winding down toward nap time.
That’s pretty much all we have for here at home; so the only thing we have left to mention is Hurricane Ian and the upcoming hit that is expected for Florida. Mom is keeping an eye on it and is ready to direct help to wherever it will be needed. We aren’t being fair with picking that storm to comment on in our journal; and maybe that’s the real reason for doing it – the fact that we haven’t written about other storms or natural disasters that have been happening and affecting other countries – like the hurricane that hit the east coast of Canada last weekend or the super-typhoon that pounded Japan and other countries. There aren’t any excuses for why we don’t do that – it’s simply that we don’t want to focus on all of the bad happening in the world; and that’s what we’d be doing if we wrote about every disaster and war and more every night.
That isn’t where we want to take our thoughts on the way to dreamland, so that’s all for this report; and we’re out of here!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
