Another beautiful, awesome, magical day! This time I get to go on a date with the fairy princess that I get to call my daughter … Lillian Paige!
First and second stop on the November Date Day for Lillian and Camilla …. Lillian has a french fry obsession, so we tried some we’ve never had before. YUM! Had a car picnic at Audrey Harris Park and then a quick stop down below to Bartley Ranch. Beautiful view for a car picnic!
Last stop on the L & C date day …. Window shopping! One of my least favorite things to do with my time (unless it’s books)! Yet, for Lillian, I will choose to enjoy myself …. and take pictures!

I had the best date tonight! Thomas leaves tomorrow for two and a half weeks, visiting friends in Philadelphia (and hopefully connecting with our C18 friends, Mike & Cierra!)
Thomas made me laugh so hard. Especially when they said I’m not like any of their friend’s parents, and that I’m normal. What? I’m normal. Thomas says they mean I’m a normal human. We had such rich conversation tonight. I plan on doing as much of this as possible before they leave for college next summer.
We went to Royce for burgers. I had the portobello burger. So good. Then stopped for ice cream at Icecycle Creamery for Thomas.
Ending with a stop at Aubry Harris Park, talking about the many years of memories here and Bartley Ranch. Car picnics while enjoying the view, scavenger hunts, and walks. My heart bursts with joy that we had all of these experiences together.

Mr. T and I are about to head out on our date. We’re making a a couple of HappY Messages to randomly leave somewhere. Thomas says, “The people who find these messages will make their own messages and spread to someone else and pretty soon the whole World will be sharing happY messages.” Right on Team Member T, Right on!!

Movie Date Night with me and Team Member T …. Just LOVE this movie … Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future … He says he has so many ideas he might need a folder to hold all of them … I think you may be right Thomas …
Spreading HappYness Day #15 (Part 1) – Thomas and I had a date day while Lillian is spending time with The Romano Duo. Mr. T made a HappY message to deliver while we were out on our date. He left it on someone’s windshield. He asked, “What if someone throws it away?” I told him we can’t control what people do with kindness after we share it with them and we shouldn’t let that keep us from being kind. Frozen yogurt for lunch, craft store for some inexpensive gifts that he can make, used book store, library and a movie, Scrooge – A Christmas Story. Now Thomas is writing a song called “Peace with You and Me” which he says will change the future.

Camilla and Lillian March 2023 Date Day yesterday.
It’s been many months since we had a date day, with Thomas’s school schedule and Lillian’s anxiety and health issues.
We shopped at 3 different grocery stores for chocolate and candy. I think Lillian may have broken a record for the most candy purchased in one day. She’s now set for candy day for months!
She ordered fries from one of her favorite places, accompanied by a tangerine and brownie.

February 2023 Date Day with Thomas – Date day in two parts
We had plans to see Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania late Friday afternoon.
We had an early dinner at Noble Pie Parlor (me) and Burger Me! (Thomas).
Once in the theater, my QR code wouldn’t work. The ticket taker tried several times before noticing I bought the tickets for a different theater. 🫣😱🫣
So back home to buy a second round of tickets for Monday at the correct theater. 🤣 Date days with me keep getting more and more interesting. 😂
