Beautiful walk with Thomas after dinner … I just love everything about honeysuckle! So yummily intoxicating! Plus, this area of the trail is lined with it. I got a honeysuckle buzz! Ha! ♡

Today’s walk with Thomas. A new to us walk. Plus, we discovered this great looking sport called Disc Golf. Looks fun!
We’ve been inside since Saturday, and will only be going out for walks. Lillian’s immune system is weaker than mine and Thomas’s and I want to do our part to keep this from spreading. Will have to figure out what to do about groceries near the end of the week. Sending love to all ….
I had never heard of disc golf. There happened to be two men there playing it, and from across the ditch I asked him to tell me about it. It’s got the same sort of strategy as golf, yet, you use frisbee like disks of varying weights and sizes. Tossing them from a distance into standing “baskets”. It looked fun!
The guy I talked with just happened to be the one who founded this course and set it up three years ago. It’s near South Valleys Park and Library (Reno, NV), in what looks like a huge ditch. I had heard there was a walking trail there, so that’s why we were there. Now if you walk, you’ve got to mind the space above your head for flying discs!! He said I could get a beginner kit at a sporting goods store. Now you know what disc golf is … in my laymen description anyway …

Maybe this afternoons walk wasn’t such a good idea. My legs and hands are still frozen. However, I hugged a tree and found some love along the way!! Trees are GREAT huggers!

Received today from one of the authors I interviewed recently on MTA … 💚💚💚
“PS please tell Thomas I was browsing some of his Biggest Little Photographer photos. What he did was very difficult – especially when he was so young. There was the creative difficulty – a new photo every day for a year – and the technical difficulty of depth of field – 365 days a year. So hats off to him from a fellow photographer.” – Peter Staadecker, Author and Photographer ….
Thank you to Peter for taking the time to check out Thomas’s work, and for taking the time to share his thoughts with me … Deeply appreciated! I continue to be extremely proud of Thomas for doing this and following through with it.
Some fun photos from 2016 after the book was published. Thomas was a part of the Young Blood art showing with two of his photos.

Thomas and Camilla February 2020 Date Day (a little late!) –
First stop: Late lunch of Korean food at Tofu House. For me: Hot Stone Pot Rice Bowl, made with shiitake mushroom, carrot, zucchini, and fried tofu. This dish was deeply satisfying! Thomas had the Seafood Soft Tofu Soup, along with Korean wings. Customer service is outstanding. Very helpful in explaining dishes and making sure I got a vegan dish.
Second stop: A walk in one of our favorite places.
Third “stop”: Playing Deltarune with Thomas.

Sweet Dreams Spell from the book “A Little Fairy Princess Magic” … Read to Lillian just about every night for about the past 2 years …
“Faires, as I rest in bed, bring sweet dreams into my head, keep me safe and guard the door, bring tales of happiness forever more. As I close my eyes and fall asleep, bring magical memories for me to keep. Fairies, as I rest in bed bring sweet dreams into my head.”
Sweet dreams to all y’all tonight. Gonna review my talk for tomorrow to a group of UNR undergrad med students from a parent’s perspective (of being parent to a child with special needs) and then I’m off to dream land!
