Throwback Post: Halloween Fun of the Past

**THROWBACK POST**

October 31 2014:

Team TLC is off to The Romano Casa for some Spooktacular fun! BOO!

Once a fairy princess, always a fairy princess. Thomas was dressed as “Happy”! Close up picture to follow.

Wahoo from the fairy princess and get your happy on from Thomas dressed as “Happy”. All the treat givers loved Thomas’ home made costume! He almost had me in tears. He was putting candy he collected back into the empty bowls at houses where no one was home. I give away most of what they get, yet they have tons of fun with the anticipation and creating their costumes.

Happy Halloween from a blurry Team TLC. Looks like my phone has been drinking.

Second flower planted in the Gratitude Garden. Thomas: food, our home, and pretzels. Lillian: relaxing, music, and home. Me: mom n frank, food and water, and our home. We’re really enjoying watching the flowers come together.

That Thomas is listening to the Thanksgiving Day Radio on Pandora with songs by Etta James, Louis Armstrong, and similar …. And he keeps jumping up to give a”thumbs up” to these songs. That just warms my heart and adds happiness and joy. Love, Love, Love!!! xoxoxo

Another peaceful yummy morning of sharing Reiki at Perfect Balance Therapies, LLC! Ahhhhh!!! Such a blessing to receive messages from my two Wednesday clients thanking me …. “significant change, feel better than a million bucks, magical” … Makes my eyes pool with sweat … xoxo

Let the Mama’s night off begin!! Thomas and Lillian just left with the Romano Duo for a sleep over. Every time they leave it sure feels like a piece of my heart is driving away … However, time for some uninterrupted ME time! YAY!!!!

**THROWBACK POST**

November 8 2013:

Thomas’ class just welcomed two new members last week … Two baby desert tortoises, Charger and Shelly! They are having a ball learning about reptiles hands on! Thomas told me this morning that they take them outside to the garden every day and Charger and Shelly LOVE it! They also have Beta fish in the classroom. The students are responsible for caring for classroom pets and take turns taking them home during holidays. I hope we get to welcome Charger and Shelly to our house during one of the breaks! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this about HDMS and Montessori in general. Warms my heart and floods it with LOVE! xoxo

Beautiful people … Attending the Nevada Caregivers’ Coalition Luncheon .. With the Romano duo as my guest!!! Thank you to my fabulous step-father for nominating me!!

I’m grateful to all who are caregivers … To quote from the Agenda for The 7th Annual Caregiver Recognition Celebration luncheon which was held today ….

“Caregivers, by what they do, enhance the quality of life for older adults and individuals of any age with disabilities.”

Each caregiver nominated received a certificate of recognition from United States Senator Dean Heller, Office of the Governor for the State of Nevada, Brian Sandoval, United States Senator Harry Reid, a Shining Star Certificate for the Linda Carr Caregiver Award, Congressional Recognition from the United States Congress, a fabulous lunch, door prizes, a movie themed basket and just an all around inspiring two hours.
