I then could make all reservations for Atlantis. Which I did. We leave on March 15th. ATLANTIS here we come!!!
On the 7th, Uncle Jeffrey turned 54. It was Pearl Harbor Day!
On Saturday, the 16th I picked you up at the Metro Station. I asked you and your brother "what day is it?" You said Saturday and Andrew said the 16th. No, the answer was it's 89 days until we leave for Atlantis! I didn't know that Andrew was coming over until we were almost ready to leave.
You told me you packed a special shirt to wear to church. We went back to the house and Mr. Bob took us to lunch at BJ's. You want to go to Bev Mo to get some drinks, but Total Wine was right behind BJ's so we went there. Here's you and Mr. Bob Shopping.
Here's what you wanted and really liked!
Back at the house, we watched a movie you had been wanting to see. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Mr. Bob fell asleep. He didn't care for the movie.
Making lemon cake. We had a hard time getting the beaters out and when we finally got the last one out, I dropped the beater into the batter. How funny!
Then we went to dinner at Tavern Americana. However, getting there was interesting. You wanted to turn on the car.
You couldn't turn it on and I suggested you put your foot on the brake and then try.
No luck because Mr. Bob had the key in his pocket and wasn't close enough to the car.
Finally you got it to turn on!
At Tavern Americana they had a shuffle board and you and I played.
We had a lot of fun. Back at the house you frosted the cake.
Watching TV
Sunday morning you and Mr. Bob went to Starbucks as usual. However, you couldn't get the car started again.
Finally you just got into the passenger seat.
We went to church and you helped me in the kitchen. A young girl sitting in front of us walked up to you after church and asked you why you didn't go up for communion. We Didn't know what you told her, but you ended up talking to her for about 15 minutes. Destiny was her name!
Someone asked you what your favorite course is and you Said English and then math. Who would have thunk??
After church we went to Soul Café for brunch. You loved it. You had Gingerbread pancakes which were huge! This is now your go to place when you come over. I had a Soul Mimosa, which had a raspberry in it with champagne, Chambord liqueur and a splash of OJ. When we got home I showed you my bottle of Chambord, which is made with raspberries. You loved the bottle. You said it be made into a Christmas ornament.
During brunch, getting baptized came up and we asked you why you didn't want to do it. You said because you didn't want to get dunked. What?? You said you saw a friend of your get baptized and held under water and it was scary for you.. Mr. Bob explained that we baptized people by just sprinkling water on them.
I told you we could have you baptized when Father Gary comes to our home to have it blessed.
You love Mr. Bob......more than me. Good thing I'm not the jealous type!
You also liked the guitar shaped bottle we got in Portugal which holds cherry liqueur, which they served in white chocolate cups. Wo when we got home you helped me order some white chocolate cups on line at Overstock.com. I just got a note from them that they shipped and they will arrive before Christmas!
I was going to have breakfast with your mother on Saturday so we could catch up, but you and your brother wanted to join us. So we went to Soul Café up by my church. I think you convinced your mother to take you and Andrew there with me. You got an A in PE, but I don't pay for that. You did get a B in Marketing which you were happy about!
Onn Christmas Eve all of you came over for Dinner, but took some photos first.
Ate at our new round dining room table. All of us had filets, but you only ate rolls.
Then off to church for the 5:00 service. Back at the house we opened the gifts.
A good time was had by all. See you in 2018!!
