Moving and Vacuum Cleaner Tip: When moving and you decide to throw out the vacuum bag before storing the vacuum, it’s a very good idea to remember that the vacuum doesn’t have a bag inside of it ….. BEFORE you use it on several different occasions. That was not a lovely site AND job to clean up! Yet, it was a great learning opportunity! HA!

What I heard her say, “Last night I got a tattoo”.

What she really said, “Last night I had pineapple”.

Many of you know of Lillian’s speech impairment due to a Chromosome 18 deletion. Around here, we choose to make light of it and to lighten the mood we will repeat back what we thought we heard Lillian say.

It always brings laughter and then the serious business of figuring out what this beautiful young lady really said! Onward with the laughing y’all! I’m in a bring-on-the-laughter-mood today … My soul is asking for laughter today!!

Just heard a song that brought back warm and fuzzy memories of my Mammaw & Arthur Mann.

After my step-grandpa, Arthur, retired from construction work in Nigeria, they weren’t ready to settle down and still wanted to travel. So they took on the task of motel management … they were at a different location about every 6 months. It was such fun to visit them while they were doing this.

One of their front desk employees when they were in Helena, Montana was also a DJ. Guess hearing this song by Michael Jackson that he dedicated to me on one of his DJ’ing shifts brought these fun memories to the surface!!

Miss talking and visiting with y’all and love the memories we created!

The countdown is on, 45 days until retirement! Then on to new adventures in Las Vegas in the Sun City Summerlin community. Looking forward to both. It will be hard to leave Reno, and our family and friends here, but you’ve got to keep moving forward and seek out new adventures. Planning on doing some traveling once we get settled, so will try to get by and see all of our friends and family everywhere. Not going to sit still for my retirement. This is the time to live!

October 2022 Thomas and Camilla Date

Five year anniversary, one night showing of A Silent Voice. Thomas loves this movie. I’m glad we got to see it together. ❤️❤️❤️

A review on IMBD captures the essence of the movie:

“Why is A Silent Voice so good?

A Silent Voice is an emotional and beautiful movie that almost anyone can relate to in some shape or form. The story is both heart wrenching and heartwarming, as it tackles many issues such as bullying, social anxiety, depression, and suicide. Many of the characters deal with some or all of these issues.”
