First and second stop on the July 2015 Date Day. A peaceful and happy lunch.

“There can be no happiness or peace without mindfulness. Life is available only in the present moment.” -Thich Nhat Hanh.

Now at my favorite library for some uninterrupted writing, and other stuff, time.

I keep forgetting to post these. This was most likely Thomas’s last time hanging out with us for Halloween, so he took Lillian around without me this time. After about 20 Halloweens, I got the night off! 🎉👻🎃🎉

They both came back alive, and Thomas even took pictures while they were out. 🤣

Had so much fun with Rachel Flower yesterday! We were gonna mark off #36 on my AdventureList …. kayaking in Lake Tahoe … nature had different plans. Too windy so we played on the beach instead. Found a huge cool rock to have some fun on too!

This Southern gal is used to warm Gulf of Mexico water! That LakeTahoe water is cold! Felt GREAT though! Nature is simply amazing and AWEsome!

Lower braces in a couple of weeks, then a year with braces. He already has the upper braces on. Congratulations Thomas!

This is one of Thomas’s favorite books. He loves history, taking every history class Acellus offered when he was attending. 🌎🌎🌎

He’s about halfway through the 1st semester at TMCC, and really likes his pre-calculus and music appreciation professors. He’s having some tough moments, but overall it’s going good.

Throwback Post: Honey Mango While Cleaning and Counting Down for Lunch

**THROWBACK POST**

July 13 2013:

Thank you to the Romano Duo for sharing these awesome honey #mango fruits with us! So good and yummy …. I could eat them all at once … absolutely intoxicating!! Give me one of these to eat sitting next to a honeysuckle vine and I’d be floating! LOVE!


**********************

Had my helpers today …. I’m working on the bracelets and they wanted to help me out! YAY! Cleaned the bathtub and the sink too.


**************

Yesterday, Lillian showed me her countdown calendar for the conference. Love it. This is a picture of her with two 18p- friends at a past conference. This conference means so much to her and is the highlight of her year. One of the reasons I do whatever I can to make sure we are there every year. Even though it’s close this year, in Salt Lake City, it is one of the hardest to pay for, so far. I KNOW it will all work out though … it always does. xoxoxo
