Thomas and Camilla May 2020 Date Day
Part 1: Lunch for pick up from Bangkok Cuisine
This is exactly what I wanted, have been wanting for a few months. Great selection of vegan items, too.
I had Vegan Fresh Rolls with peanut sauce for an appetizer; which I split with Thomas, Penang Curry for the main course, followed by an amazing dessert of Sweet Rice with Coconut. 😋😋😋
Thomas had Chicken Penang Curry, Thai Omelet with Tomato & Onions, and Sweet Rice with Mangos fir dessert.
Part 2: A walk in a new-to-Thomas spot. He liked it!!

Thomas and Camilla April 2020 Date Day
First “stop”: Lunch from Teriyaki Madness. Spicy chicken bowl for Thomas. Spicy tofu bowl for me. Eaten at The TLC Casa. 💚💚💚
Tip for vegans: Ask them to cook your dish in a wok, otherwise it is fried in the same oil as the meat dishes. They were happy to make it work so I didn’t have to order lunch from two different places.
Second stop: Washoe Lake

Thomas and Camilla February 2020 Date Day (a little late!) –
First stop: Late lunch of Korean food at Tofu House. For me: Hot Stone Pot Rice Bowl, made with shiitake mushroom, carrot, zucchini, and fried tofu. This dish was deeply satisfying! Thomas had the Seafood Soft Tofu Soup, along with Korean wings. Customer service is outstanding. Very helpful in explaining dishes and making sure I got a vegan dish.
Second stop: A walk in one of our favorite places.
Third “stop”: Playing Deltarune with Thomas.

Lillian and Camilla February 2020 Date Day
First stop was for fries to share, a butterfly cookie for Lillian, and giant vegan ginger cookie for me.
Second stop was a beautiful walk, with a final stop for a bit of window shopping. xoxo
I deeply appreciate all the love being sent Lillian’s (our) way. It may look like all is well in these photos. Yet, the struggle continues. Tomorrow will be one week out from me ruining her life (as she sees it), one week out from me making a decision in the best interest of her mental and physical safety. Things are definitely better than last Friday. Yet, it’s slow going.
Deeply proud of Thomas throughout this entire ordeal. A younger sibling who stepped into the role of an older sibling this past week. As much as I tried not to have the maddening aspect of this, along with the sadness of this situation leak out of my eyes and heart to him, it happened. And he comforted me. Thank you Thomas. I love you.

Lillian and Camilla January 2020 Date Day … (a little late)
First stop was a wonderfully warm walk around the lake.
She and I have had an incredibly rough day. One of the toughest, roughest parenting days I think I’ve had to date. Please send us love and good juju that she eventually understands and accepts the decisions I’ve had to firmly help her make today. She is not happy with me and is deeply sad … xoxo
Second stop was for fries for us to share, with a lovely heart shaped cookie for Lillian, and yummy piece of dark chocolate with pink Himalayan salt for me.
Next was Barnes & Noble so as to use a gift card Lillian got for her graduation. Last was a quick stop for a few more minutes of window shopping.
