Friday, Camp Robi Day was fantastic.
The word for the day was IMPOSTOR.
Camp counselor, Rosemary, sent a book from CA for Matilda.
We read it twice, as it was a huge hit!
After reading the book,
Matilda wrote a thank you note to wonderful Rosemary.
And then…..we put the note in the mail box!
There are just some days that are wonderful,
and this was one of them.
I LOVE Camp Robi days!
Love you.

I got out of bed with a bang today, because it is
CAMP ROBI DAY!
We have not had Camp Robi for a few weeks
because Larry and I were in Poip’u.
Friday’s, while on the island,
I wore my Camp Robi shirt.
{can you even SEE that I have it on?}
But today I am home.
Matilda will be here in an hour for Camp…..
…To Be Continued.
Love you.

While at the beach each year,
we hike to a special spot, taking an American flag with us,
While at the top of the mountain,
Larry hangs a flag and note on the lean to.
The note asks a Veteran to accept this flag
in honor of our Uncle Bruce.
Bruce was one of my favorite people in the world
and
this is our way of remembering him and honoring him each year.
In the note, I ask a veteran to write to us if he or she feels comfortable.
The past years, I have always heard from the recipient of the flag.
Our 2017 hike, on Kaua’i, was two weeks ago
and
I have not heard from anyone. ……Yet.
But I hope we hear something soon.

Life at home is getting back to normal.
Jet lag is diminishing,
we miss Libby pug dog like crazy
and
Camp Robi starts again tomorrow.
Onward and upward!
Please do me a favor?
Today, tell someone special in your life how much they mean to you.
Love you, YOU are special.

Here is Jamison with niece Matilda.
They were at the Dallas Arboretum.
Today is Jami’s birthday.
Happy Birthday Jamison.

My Larry and I love you very much.
Love you.

Birthdays are wonderful.
Larry loves my birthday but hates his own.
I cannot understand that.
But I love his day too.
We had a picnic on my birthday at a favorite spot.
Watching this makes me feel a lot of different feelings.
How beautiful this world is.
Our moments, our family, our love.
There is no room for hate.
There is only room for love.
Another birthday down.
It is going to me a wonderful year.
Love you beyond the candles.

While we were away on holiday,
we had the pleasure of spending time with good friends.
Good friends are a special gift.
They know you very well, but they are NOT family.
How awesome is that?
Here are Larry and Bill
at
The Eating House restaurant on Kaua’i.
Bill is the boyfriend of Lori.
{you can see Lori’s hand on the right}
they are two of the sweetest people
on the face off the earth.
At dinner on this night…we laughed. A lot.
And closed the restaurant down.
Some things are just so good, so wonderful
that they do not need to be explained.
Like the edamame appetizer…
Larry,this still makes me laugh.
Love you.
Me
Happy Fathers Day Larry.
It has been a difficult year for you as a Father
but
when life happens, it happens with a boom.
The wonderful thing is,
with everything that happened,
your integrity as a parent has not changed.
I love you beyond the moon….You are an amazing man.
Me
The inspiration I experienced while on holiday
can now live itself out
with busy hands and dirty paint brushes.
I am home from Kaua’i.
What is that special something that lives in your heart
when you are home after a trip from very far away?
Love you.
Me
Before Larry and I left for the beach,
the family met for my birthday brunch.
This is my favorite photo from the morning.
Then Larry and I left for the Islands
where we enjoyed being lazy,
enjoyed the company of good friends
hiked and swam.
Now it is awesome to be home….
except for the jet-lag
Love you.
Me
Larry was heping me a few days ago…
and got a bruise.
A sweet, heart shaped bruise..
I love you Larry.
