Within the hour, she had everything dialed in. It would have taken me all day!
She’s good with that type of thing. I never had to worry about Andrea. She
always took care of herself and would make it the best for everyone else. So,
I stepped back as she worked her magic. I learned to step back in this area,
many years ago and let her do her thing. She was the master at organization
and always dialed things in wherever we were.

· (Old memory) I remember a time, Ang and I had gone to Tahoe in the
summer for our family trip. We’d decided to stay longer, as I always do after
the original trip plans. However, we didn’t have a place to stay, so we slept in
my mom’s car, a red Camaro, in some parking lot by homes around West
Lake Tahoe. Ang dialed the Camaro in, she gave me pillows and blankets for
the driver seat, then she fixed the passenger seat for her. She hung blankets
and towels around the car, so the light wouldn’t come in the next morning, it
was perfect! She did an awesome job, however a police officer cruising by in
the wee hours of the next morning, somehow didn’t think so. With a knock,
knock at our window, the bat cave was told to move. We didn’t care, we were
living! What fun we had.

Anyway, the Beck family was settled, now it was time for fun. There was
snowman making, a bit of snow sledding, we made fun treats and played fun
games. Mexican train was the games name, what a blast! But the highlight to
me was stringing the popcorn garland for the trip. Me, Ang and Mia worked
tirelessly to string the strands for the Christmas tree. I’d always wanted to do
this here, it was everything I’d hope for and it was with my dear Andrea. I’m
crying right now, as I think about what fun we had.

My sweet Andrea, I love you with all my heart. Thank you for sharing your
family with me, thank you for always being such an awesome friend, our
friendship is a sisterhood, we our never ending and I love you with all my
heart. I can’t wait for more memories. I love you, Tony and the kids forever
and ever. Love you and thank you for these special memories.

* Thank you Beck Family, I love you all forever!
