Kate glanced over at him as he concentrated, "Your very good. You do this a few times and you will find it easy. The horse does all the work. What would you like to to do tomorrow? Stay in the house or go with Jon and Papa to cut down the tree for the ball? We will have the house all decorated for the Winter Ball in 14 days. You can spend the night away from the crowd. The house is full of people. We do attend the Winter Frost Day town fest on Saturday. One of many celebrations during the month long Winterfest Holiday. Revelers are local we decorate homes, shops, inns, and the town with greenery and decorations. Performers fill the streets, peddlers come, and we have a town banquet that puts last night spread of food to shame. I want to share the fireworks with you."<br/><br/>The drive home was uneventful. The teens met in the parlor after dinner, there Kate played the piano, Sara played the flute and Jon sat on the couch and stretched his feet. At about 9pm all were getting sleepy. Kate turned to Jasper as he was looking into the fire deep in thought, "You look a bit lost. Would you let me pet you in your cat for? You have been so tense this week. I am pleased with your progress. By the end of the season you will know all the Festival Songs. Would you like me to massage your shoulders and back?"
