Thomas and Camilla April 2019 Date Day – First stop – Kids on Big Rigs 2019
Thomas had a blast shooting water from the bag the Forest Service guys use (forgot to ask what it’s called)!! I may have done it too!! 💦 💦 💦
That handcar is a workout!! Couldn’t get a picture of us on there as my hands were busy! 😜 It was uphill on the way back! Whew! His favorite was the emergency radio vehicle!
Second stop – An appetizer and soup at Great Full Gardens South Meadows Reno.
Organic blue corn chips with amazing salsa and guacamole! Chayote chowder for me and totally tomato for Thomas. And look at the gorgeous salt n pepper shakers! My dream house! Ahhhhh …
Mother Nature showed up in a beautiful way for Earth Day. She called me out for three walks. One with Lillian. One by myself. And one with Thomas.
She knew after I spent the morning looking into how much to replace the radiator in our car, I would need some Nature Love. 💙 🌏 🌏 🌏💚
Made wishes with Nature Made wishing “flowers”. Isn’t she beautiful?? Just can’t get enough of her loveliness.
Loved these wispy clouds. Lillian had a great time taking photos.
Earth Day sunset walk with Thomas yesterday. Absolutely gorgeous!!

Happy Happy Joy Joy
Beautiful flowers at The Romano Duo’s place …. 🧡🧡🧡
Getting ready for some yummy delicious food and laughter at The Romano Duo’s place.
Almost didn’t make it! Rosey, the car, now has crack in the radiator and was overheating on the way here! Ugh!! All filled up with coolant again and ready for the drive home.
Now for the food post!!! Look at this cute cake my mom made! Thomas and Lillian each enjoyed pieces of the ear!!
And Frank made me a refreshing virgin Bloody Mary for starters. And, check out these amazing vegan “deviled eggs” she made just for me!!! I was pleasantly surprised!! They are yummy too (made from potato)!!
And, and, my very own vegan potato salad …. squeal! What a great meal this was! I brought the baked beans with chunks of “pork” (jackfruit). That was a hit!! Two more … check out that cucumber salad and roasted sweet potatoes!! Good food heaven!!!
More photos from Easter to include a couple of bloopers. I was tickling Thomas’ back. The last picture cracks me up! Lillian looks so innocent and I’m tickling Thomas.
The last of the photos from Easter Sunday. To include more silliness and bloopers!

Thomas and I enjoyed dinner at Moon Rabbit Cafe’s Pay-What-You-Can Community Cafe! It was a “Tasty Thai” experience specially created by chef Evan Berry!
For starters we enjoyed corn/tofu fritters and veggie spring rolls with sweet chili sauce and peanut sauce. The coconut limeaid was so good! Thomas had Thai coconut chicken curry and I had veggie yellow curry with a side of Jasmine rice. Thomas completed with a homemade mango pudding; which I skipped as it is made with gelatin.
Grateful to Reno Buddhist Center for facilitating this every other month. Yum!

Love is Magical
Cows are loud and can moo
sometimes they say,
I love you!
Cows have milk,
and cows eat grass.
You are surrounded by love
every breath you take is love
You are love
Guinea pigs wheek and guinea pigs meek,
lovey dovey guinea piggy moo!
Love is the butterfly
gracefully it flies
magical is it’s color
Love is magical
the alchemy of peace.
Airplanes flying
through the air
fun galore!
How beautiful the bird flies,
as the wind.
Love is the tree
Love is the flower
Love is the silence.
Flowers blossom
pollen falls.
Rainbow is the sky
Rainbow is the water
Rainbow is the colors of the earth.
Nature is love
Nature knows how to be.
Team tlc
always kind
always thinking.
Kindness is always there
Kindness is like friendship
A wise man
is kind to the kind
and kind to the unkind
A wise man
under a tree
Blue bird flies to Alaska
Red bird flies to Hawaii
White bird flies to Australia
The magical hummingbird
arrives on a warm summer day
Sushi
best food ever
try some
Pineapple
Most delicious food ever
Mindful eating
Mindful living
The way of peace and happiness
Eating is fun
and yummy
Apple trees grow with sunshine
Butterflies grow with food
Cake gets eaten fast or slow.
Beings, trees, and insects
We are all one love.
