Thomas and Camilla October 2021 Date Day

October 8 2021

Thomas Darnell and Camilla October 2021 Date Day

We began with lunch. Huge vegan burrito for Thomas. Veggie sushi with miso soup for me.
Next was a window shopping trio. First, electronics store where to my absolute delight I found a Pac-Man game. That was fun! The entire store disappeared and I was back in the 80’s at the mall, in the arcade with my best friend, Lillie, in Houma, Louisiana. Cool!

Second, the pet store. Chameleons are my absolute favorite. They seem to have so much personality! Last, the book store. Always a joy being surrounded by books!

We ended the date with a wonderful walk, sharing lots of memories.

Silly Crayons With an AARP Magazine

September 18 2021

Took time out today, drawing a box of silly crayons. Something different for a change.

October 3 2021

When I say he reads anything and everything, I’m serious. Ten year old Thomas reading The Romano Duo’s AARP magazine in 2014.

I went through old photos earlier today for a project, and this one made me laugh. He used to read the car manual every time he was in the car! 🤓😛🤓 … I love him so much! xoxo

Throwback Post: Living Room Floor Show

**THROWBACK POST**

August 29 2014:

I just got treated to a great show right in my living room full of dancing and professional mirror writing! It began with a dedication to me … made my heart swell with love and my eyes pool with sweat! Complete with an intermission where I was served sunflower seeds, pistachio nuts and water. After the show I received a 16 minute back scratch/massage …. Ahhhh! I’m ready for bed now!


(Team TLC at the library – September 2014)

**Update – October 2021 – When coming across such wonderful memories, and photos, I must remind myself to smile, to feel joy because these beautiful moments happened, and not to be sad because they are no longer. xoxo

Movie Night: Double Feature: Kiki’s Delivery Service and Halloweentown

October 2 2021

Team TLC Movie Night – Double Feature – Lillian’s choice: “Kiki’s Delivery Service” and “Halloweentown” … Yearly tradition to watch both of these.

Lillian says, “Both are good, both good for October/Halloween, favorite character in Halloweentown is Marnie, favorite characters in Kiki’s Delivery Service are Kiki and Jiji, 100% recommend, and like the background music in both.”

Boosting the Joy With Great Clouds and Orange Memories

September 27 2021

Walks soothe whatever ails, walks boost the joy, the love.

September 28 2021

Great clouds last night.

September 28 2021

Memories of four years of walks, climbing trees, throwing rocks and sticks in the water, playing in the snow, and many inspired poems. That was the walk this morning.

October 2 2021

Forgot to post these orange beauties, from a walk last week.

A walk with Lillian earlier in the week. It’s difficult to get her out of the house these days. Success!!

Thomas and Camilla September 2021 Date Day

October 1 2021

September 2021 Date Day with Thomas Darnell (a bit behind due to the smoke last month)
Lunch at Great Full Gardens South Meadows Reno.

Magical mushroom blend for Thomas. I sampled the choices of FOLK Kombucha on tap, choosing the berry flavor. 😋😋😋

Thomas had a vegan Reuben with their delicious coleslaw. I had a Veghead sandwich with quinoa. For dessert we shared a slice of raw, vegan, orange chocolate walnut cheesecake.

Part 2: Hitting tennis balls at a favorite park, followed by sitting on a bench, in the shade, and chatting.
