Dani looked a little tired as she sat on the porch with her laptop. Matt had been calling her every 10 minutes for the last few hours, and from the voice mails he'd left, it sounded like he was asking for more money. That was out of the question without actually going through her father. She was almost tempted to call Matt's mother and tell him ( Read more... )

After the guy came to take away the game tables, photo booth, and cotton candy machine, Dani didn't feel like going back to her room. She still had the cooler full of sodas (all the good stuff was long gone) and several days worth of racing news to go over.

She was saddened to hear the news about Big Brown, but another story about wild mustangs ( Read more... )

The weather had cleared up a bit, so Dani opted to get some fresh air and sit out on the porch with her laptop. She started out checking racing news, of course.

Dani was sitting out on the porch with her laptop, trying to get some fresh air as she read the latest e-mail from her brother. Junior had some big hot tub party while their dad was out of town. Dani didn't really care about parties, but she did care that her boyfriend Matt had been at the party. Matt hadn't written often enough, which upset Dani ( Read more... )

Paige had spent the majority of her time since Friday holed up studying the purloined Book of Shadows ( Read more... )

Since it was a perfect spring day - sunny and just warm enough - Paige settled on the porch of the dorm after classes with a cup of tea and her book on witchcraft.

Hey, last time she had met another witch, so she figured maybe she'd have good luck a second time.

[totally open! it was way dead over the weekend, so let's get stuff going again :)]

Paige had handwavily gone by the library and picked up a book about witchcraft.

Since the weather was decent, she had a bottle of iced tea and was sitting on the porch of the dorm reading it.

After the minor cookie debacle on Wednesday, Sousuke had decided a little self tutoring on this whole 'baking' subject was needed. Hence, the young sergeant was out on the front porch with a cup of (tar-like) coffee and... a copy of 'Baking for Dummies.' He certainly needed it ( Read more... )
