Wildlife With Apples and Critters

Posted on by

September 28 2023

This morning’s walk was in Scripts Wildlife area, incredibly beautiful and breathtaking. Then I picked apples at my friend Melinda’s place right next to this glorious place, sharing an apple with each critter. They were so happy!! They all wanted their photos taken! Thanks for the apples, Melinda Bourke Blackwell! Thomas wants to come visit when you get back home. ❤️

Thomas’ gratitude for today:

I am thankful and grateful for my life.

This day holds such warm, fuzzy and fun memories of my childhood and teenage years. I am grateful for this day of coming together with family and loved ones … Thankful for my younger years and spending time with all my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents … all y’all!!! Even though we don’t get to see each other very often, I am deeply grateful for ALL my Mississippi family …. We had so much fun (okay, maybe a tad bit of arguing) and love each other unconditionally!!! Big ole hug to all y’all and lots and lots of LOVE!!

Lillian’s gratitude today:

Today I am thankful for my choice to be self-employed . . . definitely has it’s challenges and times of scarcity; but being able to create my own schedule, go on our many Team TLC adventures and pack up and spend a week with family during Thanksgiving . . . far, far, far outweighs the challenges . . .

My Mom made a gluten-free pie crust yesterday for Lillian so she could have pumpkin pie! Can’t wait to dig into it! Gluten-free pancakes this morning! Lillian’s severe daily stomach pains are no longer with us since going gluten and lactose free several months ago! YAY!!

Team TLC movie night … “The Lady Vanishes” …

In college I researched and wrote an extensive report on Hitchcock and his impact and influence. Still a huge fan!!

Thomas says, “Exciting, suspenseful, mysterious, action filled, daring, amazing, adventurous, really good.”

Lillian says, “Very good ending, exciting, mysterious, daring, and adventurous.”

November 2014 Thomas n Camilla Date! Begins with a date night! Lillian is having a sleep over with The Romano Duo. Got our date night off to a start with a trip to the grocery store for nacho ingredients. Then a trip to the barber for Thomas and next a quick stop at the library. Then home for our yummy nacho dinner!

Part 2 of the Thomas n Camilla November 2014 date night … Had a ball in the non-fiction section at the library! Spirit Lands is amazing! Gave me chills and my eyes filled with sweat! Thomas felt the same. What a beautiful experience for our date night! Take a look through some of the Native American proverbs included in this visual, musical and magical journey!
