Sunday’s fun adventure!! The car wash!! We came. We saw. We laughed. We went through the worlds largest blow dryer. What an experience! Seriously. Who takes 14 pictures going through the car wash??!! Hahaha!! 😂😜
Rosey is incredibly clean now. I’m so blessed we still have fun doing this after all these years. She’s so clean, we could live in her!

Homeschool swimming fun at Historic Bowers Mansion. Plus one accidental photo. Thought it was cool as it shows Thomas’ haphazard flip flops, and the fact that he got more sunscreen on the concrete than himself, plus my wet leg and a refreshed me!! That water is cold, yet felt so darn good!!

Am I the only one in the Twilight Zone the past 2 months?
My brain is tired, my body aches, and the rug keeps being pulled out from under me.
And, I’m sure I’m the one pulling the rug. I’m the tormentor and I’m the holder of the key to freedom.
I keep getting the two confused! I’ve been trying to fit into the box and the Universe keeps squishing it flat and sending it back to me!
Holding on by my fingernails … Come August 21st I best have grown those damn wings cause that’s when the last fingernail breaks loose …
I think I’ll go with Rumi on this on …. This Rumi quote hangs on our fridge to remind me when I need it. Oceans of thanks Rumi …. xoxo
It’s time to be grateful for and honorably treat these guests of sorrows who are sweeping the house empty ….
Tomorrow, that is. I shall treat them honorably and be grateful tomorrow. Tonight, I rest …. and perhaps they will rest too … xoxo …. Oceans of love to any and all who be hosting a house of sorrows lately …. YOU are not alone! xoxo

Mining for Crystals
**THROWBACK POST**
July 22 2012:
Thomas and Lillian have been “mining” for crystals the past few days …
“Mom, Lillian and I have been discussing something very important. We want to open a jewelry store inside of another very busy store. We will sell our jewelry, use the money to buy more supplies, make more jewelry, sell more and keep doing that. What’s that called? (Before I could answer) The circle of trading? We want to do it right now. Can we?” -Thomas Darnell ….. ♥ ♥ ♥ …
You Go Thomas … You’re one AWESOME 6 yr old!

Writing about Love and this came on …. All we need is love …
“Love is my religion,
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion
I’ll take you to the temple tonight
All my days I’ve been searching,
To find out what this life is worth
Through the books and bibles of time
I’ve made up my mind
I don’t condemn, I don’t convert,
This is a calling have you heard
Bring all the lovers to the fold,
‘Cause no one is gonna lose their soul
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion
Hey you can take it or leave it,
And you don’t have to believe it
I don’t want to fight,
Hey let’s go fly a kite
There’s nothing that we can’t cure,
And I’ll keep you in my arms for sure
So don’t let nobody stop us,
Free spirits have to soar
With you I share the gift,
The gift that we now know oh oh oh
Love is my religion,
Love is my religion,
Love…” -Ziggy Marley
