I’m glad that you enjoyed the day we planned out. I was a little nervous that you would think it was more of a chore than a fun day, since you had to drive around so much.

You are loved!
Your best friend,
Debbie

So I got onto Amazon and stocked up on some “memories” for him. Plus the book–A Dangerous Book for Boys.
Not Revelation, but hey, Stan’s not a geek.
