I took Andy to Michael’s today so that he could use some gift cards. He wanted to pick up some Perler beads. He’s been excited about creating something special with the beads and of course, because he is Andy, he’s coming up with everything right out of his head. His tiger turned out nice. He also made the Mr Beast symbol, a YouTuber that he likes. He crossed that with a heart. So half-heart and half-Mr. Beast symbol. He certainly has his YouTube faves.
Andy also picked up some vanilla candy melts so that he could make some special cookies next week. We talked it over as we walked through the store together. He’s always got good ideas, just needs to be supervised for much of them.
Tonight we hosted a cook out with my friend Frank and his family. He, his wife and his daughter came for dinner. His son had an event, though. I picked up burgers and dogs from Chartley Country Store and Allison made corn on the cob, potato salad, pasta salad, beans and coleslaw. They brought along a great variety of cupcakes for dessert.
We had a great night and the girls got along so well together. All Eva had to do was pull out her phone and Frank’s daughter noticed her Percy Jackson phone cover. Next thing I knew they were talking up a storm all the rest of the night.
It was really nice to get together with Frank and his family. I am glad that we were able to do this. So many times people say that they will get together and they never do. It had been years since we had gotten together at all and a couple times this year is really doing well. I hope that we hit a movie together soon and do Frank’s podcast, Silver Screeners.
