Don’t Blink because a new month will be here this weekend. If you are a basketball fan that is a good thing. And if you somehow are crazy enough to like this blog hopefully it is a good thing that my latest Thursday Rundown is ready for you. Let’s get going…

Going For A Ride, Part II – Our kids received some cash from Grandma and Papa for Valentine’s Day so this past weekend we went to the mall so they could (naturally) spend it. Beau opted to spend his money on a Boba drink and 15 minutes on the blue unicorn…that adds up to $20 really fast. If you remember earlier this year, I chronicled the very first time that Sloan and Beau tried out the Spokane Valley Mall go-cart attractions.

Beau felt like the king of the Spokane Valley Mall as he rode his blue unicorn go-cart throughout the main floor.

Jump Around – Sloan used her $20 on Boba, a pair of earrings from Claire’s, and three minutes on the bungee. It was a little more than two years ago that Sloan first tried Fanorama Bungee and after all that time it was calling her name again. It was also calling for my wallet because if you think Sloan was able to afford those three things for just $20 you are crazy.

Special Anniversary – Tomorrow (Feb. 27) is always a very special date for our family. It was in 2020—right before the pandemic and our big move—that Beau was baptized and Sid was welcomed into the Catholic Church. Fr. Roger Morgan performed both sacraments in the same ceremony as our family, friends, and my fellow Knights of Columbus brothers looked on. Fr. Morgan and St. Andrew Catholic Church will always have specials spots in our hearts. Thanks be to God!

Thanks be to God for Feb. 27, 2020. This is our family at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Myrtle Beach on the day Sidney was welcomed into the Church and Beau was baptized.

WinCo – After the change debacle, WinCo is back on my good side. Sid recently prepared these rib eye steaks for Sunday dinner. We don’t usually buy a lot of meat from WinCo but with the way these chops tasted we might start purchasing more. Of course, Beau passed on the delicious steak and settled for a peanut butter sandwich instead. 😕

These were the steaks we enjoyed recently. WinCo’s meat isn’t that bad.

Cowboy and Fred – For a fun throwback photo, I thought we would go back 20 years to when my brother and I dressed up as this particular odd couple for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Nah, we didn’t go together as we actually had real dates (can you believe that?) but we did take this photo before going our separate ways. I was a senior at the time and my brother was a freshman.

And with that, this Thursday Rundown is in the books. Don’t Blink.
