Throwback Post: Spa Day With an Outhouse Race Adventure While Eating Donuts

**THROWBACK POST**

October 1 2015:

Today was the day. That was wonderful. Loved the Caldarium! I hung out in the Secret Garden in the corner of the Caldarium before and after the wonderful massage. Had my own little hideout and even fell asleep for a little bit. Love that the cold plunge pool, indoor pool, and hot tub are salt water. Felt soooooooo good!!!Would love to come here again one day. So yummy!!

And since you get use of the spa all day, I went back for an hour tonight after picking Thomas up from school, feeding them dinner, reading to them, tickling them, and telling them a life story. More cold plunge, swimming, hot tubbing, and this time I experienced the steam room. WOW! That was so relaxing! Going to bed so grateful and blessed that I got to experience this!

I made the spaghettI sauce with Kymberlee’s awesome maters last night for dinner. Thomas and I loved it! We ate every last piece of spaghetti noodles. Still have sauce so we get to have more later this week! YUM!

Thomas says “You may not be the greatest cook but you make the best sauce ever!” Lillian adds,”You may not be the best bed maker, but you are a great teacher!” I’ll take that! Love those two up!

Throwback Post: I Know What You Will Say

**THROWBACK POST**

September 29 2015:

Driving home Thomas was being grumpy and said he’s so mad at himself. Then he says, “I know what you will say.” Then he says to himself what I would normally say to him in this situation. Then he says something else and he knows what I’ll say about that. And then he says to himself what I would normally say to him in this situation. I was trying not to laugh out loud as my heart was truly touched. Then, he asks, “Well, aren’t you going to say anything?”. Told him I wasn’t as he had just said it for me. He says, “Yes, but I like hearing it from you.” I had a conversation with him and didn’t even open my mouth! HA! LOVE …. xoxo

Still email purging. Good Gosh! I’m embarrassed to say how many emails I had piled up. If you never heard back from me over the years, Oops! I was nearing 5,000 emails! Had emails all the way back to 2010! At least I’m finding some Good-to-Read-Again emails and some fun one’s from Lillian like this one from August 2011:

“Weed Rackets, You might ask what are Weed Rackets? So I will explain it. There is weeds, right? And (tennis) rackets,right?”

Another cool find in the GREAT EMAIL PURGE of 2013!! This one’s from a year or two ago. Newspaper clipping from the 1974 Manning Family Reunion! These people didn’t mess around. They ran these family reunions like a business. I was at this one but was only 4 years old so don’t remember it. My Mammaw is the 3rd one from the left in the back with glasses on … That Manning Family took these Reunions seriously!!

Throwback Post: Patty’s Love by Lillian

**THROWBACK POST**

September 29 2013:

Cleaning my email inbox and found this email from Lillian from 2011. I asked her if I could share with y’all and she said “Yes”! So sweet! xoxo

“Patty’s Love and Lillian’s Style, Camilla’s fun, Thomas’s Coolness and Frank’s funniness
Once upon a time there was someone named Patty’s Love was sweet but one day she became sick and Romano’s could not be kind and gentle without her, plus 1 day the Romano’s chimed the butterfly chimes then came up with a idea so they made her lunch and Patty’s Love was better.”
