It is a little crazy that for the second Easter in a row we are away from our family because of the pandemic. We made do by having a mini egg hunt with the kids inside. That lasted for about 4 minutes. They are very quick now. Eva is aging out of it but will hold on. I think I was 26 on my last one. But she is keeping the magic alive for her brother.
We had a fantastic lunch from Chub’s Blue Pig BBQ. We pre-ordered it and enjoyed it in the afternoon. It was a relaxing day for the most part. We did drive to parking lot church and had to park on a side street but we got to watch on Facebook Live and enjoy it. We did facetime with our families and are looking forward to the next few weeks when we can see everyone again.
We had a nice Sant Patrick’s Day meal tonight after Eva’s Krav Class. This year we boiled two corned beef cuts. We did Point cut in Guinness with the veggies in the crock pot all day. In another crock pot we had flat cut with Killian’s Red and all the veggies except for the cabbage. That was put in later. We decided that we enjoy eating the point cut for the meal but the flat is much better for making corned beef hash the next day because it stays together better than the point which is stringy and falls apart. But now we definitively know what to choose.
After dinner we had some Pot ‘O gold cookies that the Leprechaun left for us. Andy observed that when we don’t leave out traps the Leprechaun leaves us treats. He did leave us some mischief, too like green milk and green toilet water. Eva mentioned to Allison that “the Leprechaun” should stir the milk up a lot more. I like that she keeps the magic alive for Andy.
The image above was from Andy’s schoolwork that we saw today. It made us smile.
Today one of my high school friends, Marybeth, brought her son, Matthew, over to check out my YouTube game streaming setup. He’s nearly 13 with several different issues like Autism, ADHD, Anxiety and communication disorder plus nerve damage to his intestines and NASH Liver Disease. He’s a great kid with a great attitude and some very big dreams. So we had a conversation together to talk about those dreams in the hopes that somehow the right people see this video and offer to send him some cheer. He is really looking for autographs from Youtubers, Marvel movie stars and artists. He wants to be a YouTuber someday and also an artist for Marvel. I hope that he sees all his dreams come true.
