Lillian is at The Romano Duo’s House again this weekend. Yes!!!!
For anyone who doesn’t know: Lillian has a fear of taking showers. She’s always had baths.
About a month ago, she spent a couple of days at The Romano Duo’s place (my Mom and step-father, Frank).
They have a big, walk-in shower and it was perfect for Lillian to “walk” into that fear!! Yay!!! At 17 years old, she’s conquered that one!! 🧚🏼♂️🎉🎉🎉🧚🏼♂️

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

Gerry, the wonderful lady we met at the Barnes & Noble book signing last month, is super thrilled to be making a quilt using Lillian’s Rainbow of Emotions!
She fell in love with the artwork and kept commenting how great it would look as a quilt. The thought finally occurred to me to ask her if she’d like to make one if we had interest from someone in having one.
Well, this lovely 3 X 3 quilt, once made, will be headed to Houston, Texas to adorn a studio wall!! Yee-Haw!! xoxo

Thankful for this. Two of my greatest teachers in this life. Helping open my eyes, mind, and heart to true knowing. Busting me loose from the confines of judgments and conformity and helping me learn about unconditional love!! Hallelujah!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Got treated with a virgin Bloody Mary and vegan turkey loaf, just for me. Cranberry sauce (made by Thomas), green bean casserole, and sweet potato to go with it. Got to lounge and begin reading this great book a friend bought for me last September. 🍁🧡🍁🧡🍁🧡
Team TLC + The Romano Duo + Robert …. and turkey just the way I like it! Cute, wee stuffed animal turkey!! 🧡🍁🧡🍁🧡
Team TLC + The Romano Duo + my brother Robert. We used to watch this every year with Mom and Frank before they moved 3 years ago. We switched to watching “It’s a Wonderful Life”; which we’ll watch tomorrow.🧡🍁🧡🍁🧡🍁
Just had to give these cuties their own post! Especially with The Romano Duos cozy abode as backdrop! I enjoyed just sitting in this spot, reading, resting my eyes (hehehe), and enjoying a Frank special virgin Bloody Mary.

Very short story I read last night; which is within a book I’m re-reading. A friend posted something very similar this morning and so it seemed I should share. Perhaps a sync for someone … xoxo … “The Lion Who Thought He Was a Sheep”
