I was opening the door to Starbucks before playing a Christmas Day service at church, when my phone rang. The screen flashed "Telmate".
I really wanted to talk to Andrew more than I wanted coffee, so I closed the door and walked into the parking lot as I answered the phone.
Luckily we weren't disconnected this time. It was so good to hear his voice. He sounded cheerful. The female inmates that are housed at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility cook all the meals, Andrew told me. That is probably why the food is so much better than at Inverness. After all, the women have to eat the food too! And I imagine that take some pride in preparing the food, and hopefully receive joy in knowing they are feeding the men that are in intake.
At least the food is decent. It would be so horrible to be locked in one's cell 21 hours a day. Andrew is staying positive though. Thankfully, he has a nice roommate. I told him we would put more money on his account so they could watch a movie.They are going to watch "Just Go With It" with Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler tonight. I'm so happy with his choice in movies. I would be concerned if they were watching Rambo, Die Hard and Final Destination movies!
It seems like their tastes are leaning towards romantic comedy.
Andrew told me he got his second book, What is D-Day. He has already started reading it, and while he finds it interesting, he is really looking forward to his third book, The Who Was History of the World which focuses on 150 important people in history and talks about what was happening in the world when they lived.
That book is on it's way. I hope he gets it this week.
We kept our morning talk short because I had to get to church. Also, we're trying to have shorter talks so we can make the phone money last.
Later, I talked to him while I was visiting Julia and Baby AJ. AJ is getting so big and sturdy! He had his eyes open quite a lot and even smiled at me! Julia asked if I wanted to feed him his bottle. I couldn't believe how fast he sucked it down. I could even feel the formula hit is belly and felt gurgling.
He is such a sweet baby. I can't wait until Andrew is at his permanent facility so we can visit!
