The Romano Duo Head Back West and Choosing Pumpkins and Humane Society Volunteering

Posted on by

October 18 2017:

After 2 years The Romano Duo are headed back our way!! Not quite all the way to Reno, yet closer! Reno has gone a bit crazy with the cost of housing … Not to mention how crowded it’s getting.

Get ready Surprise, Arizona (near Phoenix). The Romano Duo are headed your way. At least now they will only be a full days drive away! Thomas and Lillian say, “Finally!” They have missed being able to see them more often.

It was a choosing pumpkins adventure this afternoon! And then we celebrated with an amazing piece of chunky apple cinnamon bread.

What Thomas chose as a celebratory treat for our choosing pumpkins adventure …. Harvest Blend – A Complete Salad with baby kale, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin spice cornbread croutons and pumpkin vinaigrette. They were handing out samples and he loved it! I sure like him! He’s a grand adventure!

Thomas’ second time volunteering. He was incredibly excited as the volunteer t-shirts had finally arrived. He bought both our shirts with his own money.

These two are super friendly!! The short hair with the white chest wanted to eat my phone. Guess he was shy about getting his picture taken. Remember …. Black cats are GOOD luck.

I Love How Crazy I Am

Posted on by

October 17 2017:

Just got home and I am so full of warm fuzzy feelings. I had to make a quick run to the library tonight to return some items in the after hours drop. It would have taken about 15 minutes round trip.

Instead of driving alone, I invited Thomas and Lillian to come along so we could make it into an adventure. It reminded me so much of when they were younger and we made every single trip in the car into an adventure.

We drove to the library and I took a different and longer way home. As I was driving, Thomas asked where to next. I thought, you got that right.

So we took a drive down memory lane and then some. Turned a 15 minute run to the library into an hour long adventure.

I Loved That. I Love It. I love how crazy I am. I love that I bust out in song, in verse, in rhyme simply in conversation with them.

I love how things Thomas and Lillian say cause me to think about songs or movies and I bust out with movie titles or singing crazy songs.

I love it when I cause Lillian to laugh so hard she’s crying. I love how fast I can improvise and I love when we are all in sync with being spontaneous!

Something is There – A Halloween Song

**THROWBACK POST**

October 12 2013:

Thomas wrote a Halloween song today … I think it’s awesome … xoxo

“Something is There”
(Rising music)
Something creepy,
One night,
I turned around,
And to my surprise,
Something was there!
A moon crisis,
I thought it was,
But,
I WAS WRONG!
(Crisis music)
I made it one night,
It rose,
I made a mad dash,
But,
When I ran outside,
I ran into,
The cemetery!
Ghost’s were rising,
Zombies were digging,
Bats were flying!
I flew home,
Locked doors and windows,
Closed all blinds,
I checked the date,
Guess what it said,
OCTOBER 31!

Pretending to be Tourist

Took Rosey to get her flat tire repaired and had the tires rotated while we were there. Instead of sitting in the waiting room for an hour and a half we pretended to be tourists.

Walked to Grand Sierra and had only enough time to sit by the driving range for a few minutes, go inside and use the restroom, collect some yummy smelling honeysuckle from outside and then head back to Rosey. It was perfect! She still needs her belts fixed but she’s hanging in there!

“I’m going to write a book about the real treasures being happiness, love and friendship” said Thomas earlier today …

Reminded me of something he said back in August … “The only real treasure is love and friendship …” – Thomas Darnell 8.4.12 …. When we’re HAPPY we just think differently y’all … In a DARN good way!

A mom with a cute lil blinky hat, a fairy princess, and a fortune teller had a great time at the HDMS chili festival and craft fair! So many creative people with great creations for sale! Loved it!

Thomas was in heaven seeing all the things people make. He was going from table to table asking how they made it. He said he kept getting asked why he was so interested.

Comfortable Clothes

September 22 2017:

As we were leaving the store yesterday afternoon I thanked Thomas for being so easy to buy clothes for and not caring about brands. (Had to buy him two new pairs of pants yesterday as NONE of his from last spring fit anymore!)

He says, “I don’t stinking care what kind of clothes I wear or what I look like in them!” My thoughts exactly! Although, we all three have sensory issues! The only thing we care about is if the clothes are comfortable and don’t irritate our sensitivities.

The thoughtfulness of Thomas just warms me from head to toe, inside and out …

He’s building houses using the Lego Creator on the computer and he built me a cool Reiki Room in our house and even an outdoor area for Reiki!

How cool would that be to have a Reiki session outdoors in nature!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
