Thomas and Camilla September 2018 Date Day – First stop: The Work! Fight! Give! -American Relief Posters of World War II exhibit at the Wilbur D. May Museum.
Thomas finds this time period very interesting and enjoys to get philosophical about wars and other major events in history. So, Thomas was pretty excited when I shared about this exhibit that Lillian had actually told me about just yesterday!!
Bonus!!! It was Open House today due to the Hot Air Balloon races so free admission. I was so happy and relieved to hear this that I nearly reached over the counter and hugged the gal who told me.
After looking through the exhibit we walked through the Wilbur May collection. Haven’t done that for years! My favorite is the collection from India!
Next was a walk through the Arboretum. Incredibly beautiful right now with tons of flowers and squirrels and rabbits and song birds!!
Last stop was dessert for Thomas of salted caramel and Oreo cookie frozen yogurt.

Thomas and I had a date day today at Nevada Beach. We ate our lunch underneath this tree and as we were packing up to leave I said, “I LOVE this tree!”
Thomas: “That was kind of fast. You just met.”
Me: “It was Love at first sight!”
June 24 2018:
Thomas and Camilla June 2018 Date Day.
First stop. Ice cream! A neighbor thanked us for watering their plants with a Cold Stone Creamery gift card. Thomas enjoyed his treat!
Next stop. Walking and talking along Virginia Lake. We saw this amazing golden tan colored duck and a multicolored duck. Plus, a nearly all black duck with a white breast (in next set of photos).
Conversations with Thomas are incredibly magical, wonderful, emotional, Real, and deep. Today’s will remain between the two of us. Yet, may the sentiment and energies travel far and wide. xoxo .

April 28 2018:
Thomas and Camilla April 2018 Date Day ….
Annual fundraiser for the school Thomas attended for 1st-4th grade …. Kids on Big Rigs 2018.
This would be pure torture for me if I didn’t know it creates much joy and happiness for Thomas. It’s incredibly loud with sirens and horns blowing non-stop. Thomas doesn’t care for that part at all, he loves to ask questions and look at the vehicles and equipment. And, he did ask many, many great questions.
Yet, I did have a complete ball dancing to the DJ music while we waited in line for the wee little train ride. If there’s good music, I can have fun as long as I can dance. Plus, with that big beautiful blue sky overhead, I was able to look up, focus on my breath and create a buffer between all the noise.
Last stop: Late lunch of salad and club sandwich for Thomas and cup of vegan mushroom soup for me. Oh my gosh!! That was delicious!!!
March 15 2018:
Thomas and Camilla March 2018 date day …
Second stop – We came home after lunch, went to the lodge, and played a game of pool. Then, walked back home. Kept it short and simple this time.
First stop – Lunch!!
Vegetarian for me: Egg rolls and Szechuan eggplant cooked and served in a clay pot. Deeply yummy!!!
We split dessert of a giant slice of coconut cake. We kinda devoured the cake! Delicious and not too sweet .. I’m a huge fan of desserts that aren’t overly sweet. Thomas had the sushi bar.
