Ethan and Ehlana:
Happy 30th Birthday, Jake Stone!
Happy 24th Birthday, Shannon Wildes!
Cassie and Michael aren’t here for either birthday, so we helped out with delivering gifts and offering personal best wishes. Ehlana and Naomi added in hugs and kisses; and only got teased a bit for kissing Cassie’s brother-in-law while at church!
The rest of our day has been pretty good, but it has cooled down and we’ve had rain off-and-on all day too; so we stayed indoors for most of the day. That started with indoor Tai Chi and breakfast; the church service and Sunday school time was great; and then Ehlana and I had a quick lunch with Mom and Dad before getting a ride to the lab so that we could play there for the afternoon. We didn’t have any special dinners or parties to go to, so we played with our books or beakers until a bit after six; Mom had dinner ready by the time we got home; and we enjoyed that meal with Mom and Dad while catching up on our afternoon adventures. Ehlana and I took care of the clean-up, and since Dad had his work finished; we watched a movie with them before bath or Jacuzzi time.
Now that we’re clean and ready for bed, the computer checks and twin chat hasn’t taken long; and we really don’t want to write about yet another day of bad news from the world and our collective political leaders. Even the talk of peace seems to be ending without any productive results and the warmongers appear to be winning that battle while Ukraine and the Middle East continue to be destroyed and thousands die every day. The death toll from the earthquake in Myanmar continues to rise, and as always, it is always the poorest regions of the world that lose the most in human costs because they can’t afford to either build in safer locations or meet standards that will keep buildings from collapsing during disasters. Mom and Cassie continue to help where they can every day, but recovery will take years; so they are also looking at new projects to help with that too.
We could go on with more stories and commentary, but prefer to stay happy; so that’s all for this report. We’ll be moving on to April after the last day of March on Monday; so let’s hope for better as we head into spring. Yes, we know that the true changes needed in the world are unlikely to happen anytime soon, but we aren’t going to give up that hope – especially when our side has Cassie and Michael out there now changing the world a little bit at a time everywhere they go! It is time to get some sleep, though, so we’re out of here and off to dreamland right now.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
