Yummy dinner, yummy walk. Made pumpkin soup and spinach fettuccine with yellow squash and broccoli. Then we went for a walk and as we were walking Thomas says, “This is fun!” I loved hearing that. xoxo

Remember the dishes I unpacked during my purging this summer? One of the coffee cups decided this morning that it was done being a coffee cup. Jumped right out of my hand onto the tile floor! Decorated the stove, floor, my dress and dishwasher with pretty brown coffee …. and broke into many pieces! I’m still so HappY I unpacked them and use them every day …. think of my Mammaw Downs every time I hold one of the dishes. She gave me this set when I was about 17 years old.

Overcooked chicken, almost burned fries and yummy pasta for dinner, some sort of racing/speed walking game with Thomas and Lillian, golf with a pinwheel and piece of chalk for the ball, being decorated with imaginary clothes, sparkles and tattoos by Lillian, shadows and streamers, reading a chapter of Heidi to Lillian, reading the story of “America the Beautiful” and about water bugs with Thomas, 20 minutes of goodnight rituals, one bowl of hot buttered popcorn for Mama …. and I’m going to bed overflowing with gratitude. Grateful we have food to cook, a back yard to play in, amazing imaginations, books to read, laughter and tickles and pillows and beds to sleep in …. and grateful for my little family! Sweet dreams y’all!

Thomas’s poetry professor created this book for the students, one poem from each student. He used Thomas’s poem title for the title of the book. 🥰🥰🥰
You’ll have to take my word for it that Thomas’s poem is incredible, as they don’t want to share it. My eyes leaked liquid love after reading it. ❤️🥲❤️ Thanks @unclewaltsbeard for creating this!! 🎉🎉🎉
