Day 6 Things that make me smile: You've got a friend in me

-

When Ben and Jerome were growing up, "date nights" often included going to see the latest animated movie.  They would even sometimes make bets if I would end up crying at some point in the movie.  Today I came upon a marathon of the Toy Story movies and watched all three.  It brought back memories of those "date nights", Ben's birthday at Cinema Grill and just spending time with the guys.  There are days that I would love to go back to those times, but as Woody says in Toy Story 2 "I can't stop Andy from growing up, but I wouldn't miss it for the world" .  Glad to be part of their growing up into the awesome young men they have become - and tonight our Toy Stories are making me smile.

As I walked to my hotel room tonight, right across the way was a huge Mickey phone.  Growing up we had a Mickey phone and when it died, my mom got another one that still is in her kitchen today.  After a long airplane flight tonight(a little friend behind me kicking the seat the whole flight) this made me smile.
