Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2007. Mattie was visiting Peter's parents and brother in Boston. In my brother-in-law's driveway, they parked their boat. Mattie and his cousin Will, who is a year and a half older than Mattie, decided to hop aboard the boat and play. Since Mattie was into boats, I have no doubt that this was a happy moment for him. Mattie would tell anyone who would listen that he was saving his money to buy a boat. I don't mean a toy boat, but a REAL one!!!
Quote of the day: The most expected thing you can expect is what's unexpected. ~ Dick Allen
Tonight's quote is so true. I had no idea that I would dealing with a clogged kitchen sink this afternoon, along with a leak under the sink. The clog is so significant and when you turn on the disposal, an incredible fountain occurs in the sink. Though my complex looked at the problem, they could only fix the leak under the sink. The clog is not on my end. The is something in the complex, perhaps on another floor that is blocked. They need to bring in special plumbers to address this issue. The problem however, is this isn't the first time this has happened to us. It happened a few years back! So until then we have no kitchen sink!
Thankfully prior to this kitchen clog, I was able to make a Cream Cheese/Pesto/Sun Dried Tomato Torte. I am bringing it to my friend's Christmas party tonight.
I'm tired of the unexpected, and some how it is the unexpected that is always deeply tiring and trying.

Mattie's picture with his cousin is so nice to see. Two cousins playing together! Mattie does look like he is having a good time.
It pulls at my heart that he hoped to own a boat someday. Sometime when we are together, I will tell you why.
Your torte looks amazing! I imagine you to be a great, creative cook. I hope you had fun at your friend's home.
Your quote is so appropriate. In fact, it is another one I will write down. I think most days a lot of what happens is totally unexpected. We cling to the few good things and try to deal with all the unexpected that just piles up. I used to have a magnet the read, LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE PLANNING SOMETHING ELSE. So very true
