Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2006. We took Mattie to the Walkersville Railroad in Maryland. We had a lovely train trip along the countryside and saw cows and wonderful vegetation. Mattie and Peter enjoyed the adventure of being on the outdoor train car for a while until it got too chilly and then they came inside and joined me. One of the train cars had a potbelly stove, which was the train car I parked myself in because to me it was a cold and damp day! As you can see NO other passengers were outside with Peter and Mattie!!!

As I tried to write tonight's blog, it was a true comedy show. I am just tired and words are not coming to me. Peter got a kick out of watching me get distracted, laughing about something that I was attempting to write, and then finally tried to redirect me by taking me outside on the deck. As we went outside here was the sight Peter showed me. A lovely spider who spun a web in our outdoor light. That doesn't do much for me, but Mattie would have LOVED this big time. Which is why we photographed it. I will never forget how Mattie had a toy tarantula that was battery powered that he would send down the hallway of the hospital, especially at nighttime. This thing made noise, its eyes would light up and it was just creepy. Nurses knew it was Mattie and many of them appreciated his sense of humor, his desire to get their attention, and sometimes he even attached notes to them on the spider. Funny how this spider web can take me right back in time.
