Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2007. Mattie was five years old and in kindergarten. It was spring and we were enjoying time outside on our deck. We were a family who loved our deck, all of us... including Patches. All four of us would spend time together out there and each of us had a chair at the table, YES Patches too! She helped herself.

Today was another whirlwind, of working on Foundation walk posters, dealing with other Walk issues, and then also working on a Power Point presentation for next week's keynote presentation in New York City. This presentation is 90 minutes long, so this is substantial and requires brain power to put together. Brain power which I really do not have right now. I started this calendar year tired from writing book chapters in the summer of 2014, and I have yet to be able to catch my breath. This time of year is by far the worst with fundraising and planning the Walk.
In addition to all this work today, I took a break and finished planting our deck with Peter!
I am signing off, but before I do I wanted to share another deck photo! All around us while we were planting were birds. We even had a cardinal visit with us this evening. Which was a lovely and special sighting. Not only do I view the cardinal as a symbolic sighting, but I remember how much Mattie loved cardinals because of their bright red color.
