Yesterday, between a dental appointment (yes, another one!), searching for a fennel bulb (no luck), new twin blankets (no luck) and creating a curtain for a guest area cupboard, this little guy came over to visit.

His parents dropped him off at noon and Sam and I spent a few lovely, peaceful hours making “cookies” and watching Thomas the Train on Netflix.  My little friend even ate a bowl of ice cream, took off his shoes, and collapsed on the Giant Couch with me.

I picked up those candy molds at a thrift shop a few months ago.  I knew Sammy would love them and he did.

When his parents returned, Sam wanted to know what the name of the Thomas episode we were watching (we were in the middle of Thomas being lost at sea and then stranded on an island) so the next time he came we could pick up where we left off.

I’m ready whenever you are, Sam.
