I was just thinkin how much I love and adore nature …. “The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.” -William Blake

It’s a fabulous day to mail a book!!! Wahooooo!!!

Throwback Post: Gingerbread Dog Houses with a Parent Perspective

Team TLC bid farewell to our TLC gingerbread dog houses that have been with us for the last 5 or 6 years.

I bought these at 90% off in 2009 or 2010. Forgot about them for a year or two. Rediscovered in 2011 or 2012. The icing was no longer good. So, we used glue to put them together. Guess that turned out perfect as it preserved them!!

Last night as I was wiping the counter, two of them were “glued” to the counter top! They had begun their decent of falling apart.

So, we said our goodbyes.

Memories and fun …. xoxo

Thank you Manal Toppozada for asking me to come speak again to your undergrad med students at UNR about the “Parents Perspective’ of being parent to someone with disabilities/special needs. Looking forward to it on May 30th … Hope I get as many questions and more as last time!! From Manal: “Was wondering if you’d be interested in speaking to my UNR class again? Your presentation last semester was powerful and made a strong impression on many of the students.” Big hug to you Manal!!
