Ethan and Ehlana:
We had some rain and a thunderstorm early this morning, so Tai Chi was indoors; and still fun thanks to having Naomi and Aiden with us for that little blast of quiet exercise fun. Getting to have pancakes and sausages for breakfast was a nice bonus; and then it was time to get to work again – first with the clean-up; and then with the rest of the chores we needed to get finished ahead of the holiday weekend adventures. We had that done by shortly-after noon; lunch was quick and easy; and then it wasn’t long before the Malloys arrived. Cassie and Michael were with us by then too; and they’d picked up Luke along the way to help Rebecca and Claire with him while they were busy at the Pizzeria or with a rental closing; so the fun level really kicked up after that.
Playing in, on, or near the river since then has kept us busy, but we’re doing another early update for our last one of June; so that’s really all of the news we have for our own adventures so far today. We are planning on making fun our priority for the next four days, though, so expect better stories from us for all of those updates. Actually, we can offer two extra stories that don’t really have anything to do with us directly. The first is that the Everetts are away this weekend; they took Jeremy along so that he can be with Kaitlyn; and they’ll be busy with Aunt Grace’s ‘away’ family for the next four days. The top story from today started out as a joke or mental musing from Terry Malloy about our little town adding summer cabins somewhere along the river. Cassie led the way for taking that idea to the next few levels; and now there is already serious talk about both a vacation community addition to town and a retirement community with small, accessible homes for seniors that some grandparents have already expressed an interest in signing up to buy. We love the idea of having both – especially if we’d get to have more of our favorite people here with us for more than just holiday weekend visits!
We can keep you posted on those stories too as we go along, but that’s – not quite all for us because we’ve skipped the bits of news from last night! As we’re thinking about that, the only news that matters is that we had fun with Naomi and Aiden; the co-ed sofa sleepover was awesome; and we’re all glad that we had that quiet time together because that might not happen for us again until sometime after the Fourth of July. We do need to get back to the fun with our family and friends, though, so we’re out of here!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
