Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2007. Mattie was five years old and was helping me celebrate Mother's Day. We had breakfast together outside on our deck and apparently Mattie decided to hug and kiss me. Though Mattie and I were close, I wouldn't say he was a kid who gave out a lot of hugs and kisses. So when he did, it was special.
Quote of the day: Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book. ~ Bill Watterson
Though I agree with Watterson's quote, the problem is in DC we get so much rain, that we all would be home at this rate and would never leave. It maybe good for the tea and book companies, but as a daily way of life this constant rain is depressing.
Yet when you have a dog, there are no breaks for the weather. Rain, sleet, snow, and blistering heat.... you and out and in it! Sunny makes sure of it.
Today we ventured to Roosevelt Island. I knew it would be the perfect day to go there, because it was cold and wet. We practically had the Island to ourselves. It was super peaceful and Sunny had a ball.
Everything on the Island is brown and flooded. But the ducks were all around us and Sunny literally wanted to jump off the boardwalk to chase a duck!
My duck friends! The rest of the day I spent working on Foundation items, as we are headed to a conference in Atlanta next week. So there is plenty to do toward that and of course I am inundated with Walk & Family Festival (May 19th) plans.
