This morning during a sneezing fit, I choked on my saliva, causing me to try to cough and sneeze at the same time. Which then caused me to swallow air, causing me to try to burp while sneezing and couching. Which caused me to try to laugh hysterically at myself. While sneezing, couching, and burping.
You’re welcome. 🤣🤣🤣
Photos of the scene once it finally stopped snowing last week. It was hip deep in some spots behind our building. ❄️😱❄️

Birthday breakfast. Warm and fresh. 😋😋😋
Thomas sang the Happy Birthday song to me and then we dove into the peanut butter pie.
Lillian tasted it! That’s a big step for her. She said it tastes good, but too nutty.
Starting off 53 a lilt bit nutty I guess. Love it! 🎉🥜💝🌹🫣👀🫣🥜🌹💝🎉
Birthday sky and me, from morning to late afternoon. 💙🎉💙
Blessings,

Chad Basil the First
Basil grows more comfortable in his new home, assuming correctly that everything is his to explore, play with, or eat. 😂
He still doesn’t get in our laps or cuddle. But has jumped on the bed twice to sit near Thomas or me. He adores Thomas (which is great since he’s Thomas’s cat and will go with Thomas to college.)
Basil had his 1 year checkup at the vet a few weeks ago. He loves his carrier. So much so that I’ve left it out for him.
He has much to say when Thomas is taking too long coming out of the bedroom in the mornings.
I love my grand kitty to pieces. ❤️❤️❤️

I recently helped Lillian organize her closet and found the stash of pencils Frank gave to us. Frank’s dad, Frank, owned a bowling alley in Yuma, Arizona in the early 60’s.
The erasers held up as one would expect for a 60 something year old eraser! Hard as bricks! Otherwise they are great!
We will never run out of pencils. I suspect this stash (more than pictured) will outlast me! 🎳🎳🎳
I was inspired after sharing the pencils photo on social media. Look what I found! A 1960’s postcard with the bowling alley pictured! So cool! I love digging into things like this! It’s like a treasure hunt. 💝
Now I’m inspired to make this into a gift for my step-father. I’ve ordered the postcard from a seller on eBay. I’ll pair it with a couple of pencils and see if I can find a 60’s photo of his dad. I’m so excited! (Any Romanos who see this: Don’t tell Frank. It’s a surprise.)

Camilla

I never posted these sparkly photos of my heart crystal and the gorgeous lamp that The Romano Duo gave me for Christmas, taken at the end of December.
Guess I was saving it for a celebratory Thomas post. Thomas entered a game creation contest, winning first prize! I’m having a great time supporting and watching Thomas spread his wings and soar with his heart passion. I’m incredibly excited for Thomas’s future!
Blessings,
Camilla

This morning I finally got to go for walk on one of my favorite walking trails.
February 1 2023
In the car today we were listening to Thomas’s music. Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl came on. I commented I didn’t know he listened to Van Morrison. He said it reminds him of me, and he has a whole playlist of songs that reminds him of me, for when we don’t live together anymore. It’s full of songs that I’ve listened to throughout the years.
That’s the most thoughtful, beautiful thing anyone has said to me in a very long time. Thomas is just downright amazing.
That’s as sweet as Tupelo Honey,
better than all the tea in China in a brown paper bag,
rocks my gypsy soul,
and fills me with crazy love. ❤️😭❤️
This is my all time favorite Van Morrison song ….
… and these two are also favorites …

It is done, finished, history!
Thank you so very much to everyone who donated! I was able to pay off the remainder of the orthodontist pill for the dental work that Thomas has been having. It means the world to us!! xoxo

I found huge icicles while Thomas was in his afternoon appointment. Cool!

The walk yesterday. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a walk here. This beautiful space holds many memories. Four years of walking memories, walks alone, and walks with Thomas and Lillian. ❤️
