Thomas and Camilla November 2017 Date Day –
First stop: Washoe Lake. I’ve only been here maybe two other times with no wind. How gloriously beautiful.
I truly needed a deep dose of Mama Gaia today and this was perfect for grounding and processing.
Thomas walked barefoot and dug in the sand. It was perfect for him too. He and Lillian had a huge argument as we were readying to leave.
I sat down, took off my shoes and socks, and slowly buried my feet and hands in the soft, cool sand. I was instantly relaxed and brought into this wonderful moment with Thomas. It’s difficult to even find the words to describe.
Last stop: Ice Cream!! Vegan Coconut Mint and Just Nog for Thomas and Vegan Coconut Mint and Just Chocolate for me! Of all the flavors I’ve ever tasted here, the Coconut Mint tops the list now! Love the texture and flavor – tastes like a Jr Mint candy, only better! We ate our ice cream with the amazing view at Audrey Harris Park.
Thomas also had a half sandwich and I had a cup of potato salad and macaroni salad.
November 17 2017:
Lillian and Camilla November 2017 Date Day … on a rainy and really wet day.
Parmesan and sea salt fries for Lillian and vegan olive and artichoke pizza slice for me.
Then “window shopping” in the grocery store for all kinds of scrumptious foods. Lillian took pictures of all of them plus some great natural smelling hand made soaps.
Lillian picked out a cookie from the cookie bar and we headed home to enjoy it in the lodge while playing a fun game of go fish.
A turkey shaped cookie and peppermint dark chocolate bark for Lillian and a couple of lady fingers along with some hot chai tea for me. Lady fingers are yum, yum dipped in chai tea!! ☕️ xoxo

Thomas and Camilla October 2017 Date Day – Car picnic lunch with a view! We had a coupon for a free sandwich for Thomas and I had $10 of customer reward at Great Full Gardens South Meadows Reno!!
I finally got to try the vegan BLT! Oh my gosh … So yum!!! The coleslaw is incredibly delicious. Thomas stole it from me. Raw pecan pie for dessert! My stomach was so happy.
Next stop. Our first time volunteering since orientation last weekend. An hour is his limit due to being allergic. Although he would stay longer if he could.
A boy who is allergic to cats = Don’t care. He wants to be around them. He loves the older cats. Doesn’t want anything to do with the kittens. Such precious souls. The boy and the cats.

Thomas and Camilla September 2017 Date Day – Thomas wanted a sandwich from Icecycle Creamery. He loved how they cut and made a heart shape with it and he enjoyed every bite. I had a few bites of fresh mint ice cream on top of a scoop of chocolate before Thomas claimed it! Yum!
Part 2: A visit to the new VibesUP store. I was drawn into the store this morning and told Thomas about. He wanted to check it out. He LOVED it!!! Amazing store, amazing energy, amazing products, and amazing mother and son running the store.
Then, at Thomas’ request, a rainy walk at Virginia Lake. And last stop was to get Thomas a couple pair of new pants. With this cool weather he put on pants last night and they were way short and a bit tight. Oh my gosh! He’s grown so much since Spring and shorts weather.
