Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2004. Mattie was two and a half years old and this was his first Halloween out trick or treating. Mattie was a bit intimidated by the noises and kids running around, but he did take it all in. We went trick or treating in a DC neighborhood, in which the local fire fighters came out to greet kids and kids were allowed to check out the fire truck. A Mattie favorite!

This quote is so perfect for me today! The Foundation changed its newsletter format starting in July. However, despite testing and double testing it before it went out to 1,800 supporters, there were problems with all my web links. I was so upset by this especially since the links worked in my preview mode. Thanks to Peter..... he worked out this bug with the technology folks at Contact Contact (our on line newsletter company). However, as the writer of the monthly newsletter, I need to understand how to use the technology. Peter has tried to tell me about the technology, and he has even taught me many times how to use it. But today we worked on the newsletter together, and I finally got how to update our Foundation's website and how to integrate these updates into our newsletter. So hopefully the September newsletter will be going out this week and all the links will be working!

Vicki,
I am so glad you found a good place for Sunny to,spend time while you are In Indiana. Are you driving?
So Mattie was Winnie the Pooh, his first Halloween. Winnie us a character, I have always liked. Some wise lessons have come from his stories.
I will look forward to reading the newsletter in the new format. I can't imagine being responsible for this work monthly!
As always your quote touched me.
