Going for a walk and hanging out in trees. Thomas and I had a wonderful walk this afternoon.
Thomas’ friend told him that he should live in a mansion when he earns a million dollars. Thomas told him he’d be living in a tiny place just like where we live now. “Why?”, his friend asked. Thomas answered, “Because I like it and I can.” Love, sweet love. xoxo
Lillian and Camilla January 2017 Date Day – First: Wilbur May Arboretum for a short walk. Simply magical and inspiring! Part 1
Lillian and Camilla January 2017 Date Day, yesterday, Part 2:
Wasn’t in a position to go out for a dessert this time ….. so improvising to the rescue! Used what we had and made a special Date Day dessert ….
Trader Joe’s peppermint Joe Joes dipped in melted dark chocolate, topped with gluten free jelly beans. Adding the last step of a few minutes in the fridge to harden the chocolate.
Next, meeting and discussing which book to create for Lillian’s first published book! Here’s to us, here’s to love, and here’s to 15 years of Date days!!
Windy, rainy, slushy, and cold walk with Thomas yesterday afternoon. Feels good being out in natures glory, yet, feels oh so good slipping back into a warm and cozy home. xoxo

Winter Wonderland ….. Again! When I saw the first tree in these pictures, my only thought was, “I must have a picture.” I blindly walked over to it, oblivious that I was walking on a slope …. and, weeeeeeee, down I went smack on my bottom and back! I laughed so hard! Laughing alone in the quiet of snow …. Priceless and Magical … xoxo ….
From the Thomas n Camilla December 2016 Date Day on Monday. I love this sound. Yet, I also love the silence and quiet of the snow covered wood upon departing the rushing water. Such beauty in contrast. xoxo

Winter Wonderland walk this morning. Icicles are incredibly beautiful!! I took about 20 pictures of them!! Loved seeing the ducks all huddled together snacking on cracked corn. They make the sweetest sounds when eating.
Thomas and Camilla December 2016 Date Day … a wee bit late. Drove up to Galena Creek so he could sled. I went down a few times too!!!! So fun!!!! Then we shared a yummy gingerbread loaf cake. My legs are still unthawing!! Brrrrr!!!!
Thomas and I went for a cloudy and cold walk. He had a great time testing the thickness of the frozen areas of the lake. We also got to see some new handiwork courtesy of our beaver friends. Love our walks together …. xoxo
I got to see a white duck when I was walking Happy this afternoon. So beautiful!
Then we finally had our Team TLC walk right at sunset. It’s been about a week for a family walk as we waited for everyone to get healthy again! It was a blissful walk!! xoxo

Thomas and Camilla November 2016 Date Day … wee bit late – last stop –Great Full Gardens South Meadows Reno: We were only going to get Thomas dessert. Surprise! Happy Hour with half price appetizers!! So we added Vegan Stuffed Portobello mushrooms. Words cannot even describe how yummy these tasted! Thomas dessert: Bread pudding! Our plates were all but licked clean!!!!
1st stop – Galena Creek Visitors Center. 2nd stop – Galena Park
It was so cold …. about 15 degrees … that my phone went dead after the magical tree picture. Perhaps so that I could truly soak it all in without distraction. Phone came back on once we got back down Mt. Rose Hwy. xoxo
Simply love this area. So peaceful and serene ….. incredibly beautiful and majestic with gigantic pine cones. I am hugely blessed this is what Thomas chooses for Date Day.
