In 2019, my husband and I bought our dream home. A beautiful country house with a wrap around porch and 10 acres. But BOY did the land need work. Well, my grandma and Alan decided they’d take a week off and come see us to help us out. So for 3 days, Alan and Jay chopped wood, built a fire and ate around the fire. On day 3, I got off work, brought Alan his cold glass of sweet tea and asked “would you like some cookies?” And he said “absolutely but I’ll have to shower and come inside for that.” So Alan came inside and showered while I prepped the cookies and as I put the cookies into the oven he says “can you turn that oven light on for me” so I did. And he sits infront of the oven and watches the cookies rise, melt and fall into their perfect cookie form. He says to me “I love watching the cookies melt, it’s like magic.” So now, 6 years later I always turn the light on and watch the cookies melt. Thank you for seeing the beauty and magic in everything Alan.
