The Other Gold

We used to sing this song: "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold."

I am so impressed with Andrew's ability to keep up with his golden friends. I was never good at this. I would make new friends wherever we went and love them very much. But, then I would allow us to lose touch, as we moved from place to place.

Andrew values his golden friends, and this has been a blessing to us.

Saturday night, he orchestrated an old friend (Ricks College/BYU) get together. Oh, what fun.

We convened at one of his buddy's houses, which happened to be kidtopia. I would love to have a water slide in my backyard.

We played silly games. This one was reminisent of Harry Potter (the multi-flavored jellybean part) where you spin the dial and hope you do not land on a jelly bean that tastes like throw up...or caterpillar...or skunk. Seriously. They really tasted like this.
We gathered in the barn, and played Ooga Booga. Adults and children all joined in. I love being with cool adults who will play kids games and have a blast.
We had a little talent show.
It made me want to learn the banjo.
And had a beautiful time.
A golden friend time.


Thanks, babe for making such good friends...and keeping them.
