We Are Surrounded By Good

**THROWBACK POST**

May 2 2014:

I awoke this morning with a heart open to all the good that surrounds me. After our love and hug conversation at breakfast we left to take Thomas and Lillian to school. I decided I was gonna listen to some music on the way. Turned on the radio and “Best Day of My Life” was playing … Blow my mind!! Then happy, fun songs one right after another! Dropped Lillian off and told her to have fun having the best day of her life. Dropped Thomas off and told him to have the time of his life sharing love.

At the grocery store a lovely grandfatherly gentlemen stopped me on the aisle and said “That’s a very special dress you have on.” I told him “Thank you …… And so are YOU!” Beautiful sweet man was speechless.

Last stop was the bank to get a cashier’s check. The teller asked me if I wanted to withdraw any money from my account. I told her no, unless it was coming from somewhere else … with a smile and a giggle. After a few seconds checked my phone for texts and I had a text that I’d received money deposited into another account … that I did not know was coming … Without knowing it I said something out loud and she asked if I had a question. I said “No, I really did just receive money. Ask and you shall receive!” My eyes almost sweated right there in the bank!

Then, after Thomas’ vaulting lessons tonight Team TLC stopped at little Washoe Lake for some rock throwing and skipping! I love LOVE! Best Day Of My Life Indeed! Plan on having another tomorrow! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Show & Tell Adventures today at school for Team Member T. Letter for the week is “W” so he talked about a combo Why/Water …. Why does the Earth look blue from outer space?

Teacher said he did NOT need to use the microphone!! Yep, that’s Thomas. What’s a quiet voice anyway? And, YES, he likes to make faces of all sorts when I’m taking all these boring pictures!!

Indian Food at Moon Rabbit Cafe

Thomas and I had an early birthday celebration dinner for me tonight!! It was perfect! Incredibly blessed we have this Pay-What-You-Can Café in our community.

Moon Rabbit Cafe – Bollywood Night Dinner (Indian Food) at Reno Buddhist Center.

For starters we enjoyed Alootikki with garbanzo, onion and mint tamarind chutneys. I had veggie Biryani and Thomas had chicken Biryani over curry infused Basmati rice with a side of mint sauce. To finish we had a sweet Basmati rice pudding and a hot cuppa Masala chai tea!

 

Making Snowballs With a Freezing Face and Tree Shadows With Snow Blankets

Played in the snow for a few minutes this afternoon. What a delight!

It was a cold, cold walk earlier this afternoon. My face froze!

February 19 2019:

The tree shadows called for my attention. Eye-catching!

A walk this morning … Beautiful how there’s snow blanketing the frozen sections.

Thomas and Camilla February 2019 Date Day

February 20 2019:

Thomas and Camilla February 2019 Date Day

Car picnic at South Valleys Sports Complex Park. Club sandwich for Thomas and 1/2 Veghead for me. Next up was the library. The place that houses one of our most favorite things!

After that was shopping for a new pair of ear buds for Thomas along with window shopping of computer monitors and keyboards. Thomas has plans and knows what he wants now that he’s had his current laptop for over a year.

Dessert! A caramel gelato bar for Thomas and Mexican wedding cookie for me.

An incredibly cold and slippery walk to end our date.Thomas lectured the ducks on the excessive use of pronouns. Those sweet babies thought we had food and all we offered were words! Beautiful and meaningful conversation all throughout the date. Perfect. In every way.

Television Can Be Very Educating

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” -Groucho Marx … Quote and photography from the book, Biggest Little Photographer by Thomas Darnell
