Took about 5 hours yesterday, and we finally got finished with his post and the “Love Cards”. Pass the love …. xoxo … From Team Member T … “I want to help my family get to the 18p- conference this year so I am selling love cards. You pass the cards around to spread the love! On the back you can add your own messages. It’s important to me to attend the conference because …”

I just love sitting outside in the shade while it’s still cool and there’s a soft breeze ruffling the tree leaves and my hair. So yummy to the heart! May you have your own yummy moments today! xoxo
Spent the afternoon being creative and then we all made a sign for our hotel room door at the upcoming C18 conference! xoxoxo
Suppose I needed reminded today of who I am … This post it attached to my dress this morning. I left it there as I felt it was a little message for me. Now. It’s hanging in my hair. And while having further “strong discussions” with Thomas today about limiting his time on digital devices, Thomas noticed this heart had formed from water out of the hose. Just a little respond with love reminder. I love Love!! xoxo

Happy Sumbeamy Saturday Y’all! A little something that stood out for me this morning, for myself and anyone else experiencing a storm.

E is for Expectation…”This journey will be much more fulfilling and full of joy, when we are able to live in the present moment and break the habit of being so rooted in our expectations. Expectations can be limiting. Once we loosen our grip on our expectations, we may find we have freed ourselves to allow an unexpected outcome to go way beyond anything we could have imagined.” Great book, Camilla Downs! I am thoroughly enjoying every page of it.” -Melanie G.
Heard some Rolling Stones this morning … always makes me think of my Daddy …. here I am visiting him with my big hair in 1992 down in Nawlins … Without knowing it, Daddy taught me there’s usually a way around, over, under or through rules!! Love you Daddy … thanks for always being there for ME!! Even though he’s not on FB thought this might bring some fond memories of your own back to you …

When the day calls for a wee mini adventure … “Working at the car wash … Get your car washed today” … Thomas and Lillian weren’t that impressed with my singing!! We had a ball! Rosey is so happy to be clean! She got vacuumed too … Love a nice clean car.
Thomas and I went to Great Basin Community Food Coop today while Lillian was in therapies. When we got home he said that was the best grocery store ever! I asked why and he said cause everybody was talking to one another and to the customers. Plus, we got a big cup of their home made soup! YUM! I agree with Thomas … It’s a great and friendly place. We will be going there more often! We all had another fun walk tonight! xoxo
