Ode to Patty

Always there,
Always with
Love to share.

Us giggle
She makes
Us wiggle …

She makes us wiggle?
Well, not really, yet
That’s the word
That shot forth!

Deeply for her

Book Musings: Wanda Gag – The Girl Who Lived to Draw

December 22 2018:

Wanda Gag – The Girl Who Lived to Draw

Wonderful story of the author of “Millions of Cats”. Wanda Gag’s childhood was filled with German fairy tales, musical evenings, and hours spent in her father’s painting studio. As soon as she learned to draw, she couldn’t stop and dreamed of becoming an artist.

This book is an inspiration … an inspiration for anyone with a dream! We ALL LOVED it!!

The Most Miraculous Things – Dodgeball for a Cause

December 18 2018:

The most miraculous things happen when we embrace and love it all …

At about 8:00 last night, I received an email that Lillian’s attendance at next year’s Chromosome 18 Conference will be partially funded by a local Reno nonprofit … Hallelujah … Dodgeball for a Cause

I will soon be sharing information about this wonderful, local, nonprofit and their upcoming once per year fundraiser. They help several families each year.

My heart is bursting and dripping with ooey gooey gratitude from all of the blessings being delivered in this past week.

Magical Fairy Drops

December 25 2018

My handmade gift to Lillian. Her favorite color is blue, favorite color combination is rainbow colors, and she loves glitter and sparkles.

Magical Fairy Drops

She is a fairy
A fairy whom
Likes a berry.

She is a fairy.
A fairy that’s
Definitely not hairy.

A lover of shadows
A lover of weather
She is a fairy.

Inspired by the sparkles,
Lifted by the rainbows,
Delighted by the
Pink and orange sunsets.

Eyes shining bright
To behold the
Beautiful sky.

All aglow with
The sighting of
The magical moon.

Icicles, dew drops,
Puff balls, fresh snow,
Spring flowers,
Summer showers,
Autumn leaves
These are a few of her
Favorite things.

She is a fairy.
She is Lillian.

Love,
Camilla💙🌈
Mom

Now that I had time to translate the ingredients of the tea that Jessica brought to me from The Netherlands; I can have a cup! My new favorite!! What will I do when I run out??

I couldn’t get the message to cooperate so had to improvise and use a prop! Ha! Beautiful message!

Served in the gorgeous new coffee cup Thomas gave me for Christmas.
