It’s been six months since I’ve been a night without Thomas in the house. He’s only around the corner, yet I miss his presence!

The Romano Duo arrived yesterday and we went to the lodge today so they could use the gift wrap station. Thomas is spending the night with them tonight. Lillian’s turn tomorrow night!!

More getting caught up ….. For our November gratitude project we wrote letters of gratitude to our future selves, to one another to be mailed in the future, and a letter thanking someone to be delivered in person in the present moment.

I had done it all except the letter thanking someone. I wrote two!! Delivered Lillian’s last night. What a wonderful feeling! xoxo
