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.

Blessings and thanks to all who are caregivers for anyone in our society who needs extra help and assistance …

Team TLC movie night …. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” …

Lillian says, “Good, musical, amazing, fabulous, nice, and cool.”

Thomas says, “Good, amazing, suspense, and good story line.”

I say I always enjoy a Frank Capra production. I love how this one had the message of kindness, love thy neighbor, and the power of nature weaved into it.

Throwback Post: Happy 10th Birthday Thomas

**THROWBACK POST**

November 14 2015: Look for the post on my blog. Link to it …

Thomas chose sushi for dinner and then we made the cake. I must have been so giddy (or so tired) that I put 1 cup too much water in the mix. Only realized it when I put it in the oven. I thought if looked way to runny. Oops!! Took it out and added coconut flour, almond flour, another egg, more vanilla, more coconut sugar, and some cocoa. I was thinking at least it would cook and be solid even if it didn’t taste good (Lillian was on the verge of a meltdown due to my oops moment). Turned out yummy and meltdown averted! YAY!!

Throwback Post: Approach Softly and Be Inspired

**THROWBACK POST**

November 14 2014:

It’s the day of your 2nd grader’s class birthday celebration and circumstances dictate you use whatever you’ve got at home to make 30 treats! You approach the situation softly and be inspired with the solution …. Create a ChocoMarsh bite and top it on a Trader Joe’s Chocolate Sandwich Joe-Joe! Lovingly place each one in a mini cup …. which I had for some reason … and give thanks for creativity and goodies in the pantry! YUM! xoxo
