Throwback Post: D iz for Different Review: Invaluable Information

**THROWBACK POST**

October 9 2012:

Thank you Mark Sogard for the GREAT Amazon review … appreciate it tons and tons!!

“While it is a breath of fresh air to see a book written for parents of special needs children,do not think that if you don’t have any special needs children you won’t get anything from this book. Not only does it contain invaluable information for special needs parents, it contains inspiring uplifting tips for the journey at the end of every chapter-and who doesn’t need that type of help in this fast paced society that we live in? Very well written and inspiring.”

“Thank you for last night. You make things better.” -Lillian Darnell …..

That’s the way to bring a girl right back into the present moment, I tell ya!! Love that girl! Lillian has a nasty cold. I pulled the rocking chair into her room last night so she could sit in it and watch Barbie movies and then I sat in the chair and held her. That’s what a Mama is for right? Mama = Comfort

 

The Marinating Period is Over

May 18 2023

After about 8 years of marinating in my own lil bubble, I’m ready to be social again. 🎉🎉🎉

I picked up some new clothes this week, a gorgeous multicolored fiesta skirt, cool metallic sandals, and a white dress. I’m ready to step out! 🎶🎶🎶

What’s going on this weekend, this month, this summer in the Reno/Tahoe area? 💋💋💋

Conquering Fears and Treating Yourself – Lillian Darnell

June 29 2022

Lillian stepped into a fear this afternoon, being incredibly brave. Go Lillian!! She treated herself to fries, and a visit to a huge furniture/electronics/appliance store for inspiration and reminiscing.

Reminiscing in a furniture store? Sure. During those years I didn’t have the money to spend on our date days, we would come here, spending an hour or two enjoying the nice designs and arrangements, taking lots of photos.

Lillian really likes this lamp in the photo. Very sparkly and shiny!

Thomas and Camilla May 2022 Date Day

May 7 2022

Thomas and Camilla May 2022 date day was yesterday.

Lunch at Là Mint. Then watching the new Marvel movie, Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

We both enjoyed it. But we also both feel it wasn’t the best, or our favorite. It will make much more sense to those who’ve watched the Wanda series.

I like the older ones better. Thomas says that’s because they’re more down to earth.
