Wednesday, February 20, 2019

Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2009. For the life of me, I can't remember where these train pieces came from, but clearly they were right up Mattie's alley. I am sure someone in our support community brought them to him. From an early age, Mattie loved anything that moved and had wheels. As you can see, our whole living was transformed. All over our floor were lego cityscapes, train tracks, and toys. Given that Mattie could not walk, stand, or move around, it made sense for everything to be on the floor, so he could easily access it.

I have to admit that if it weren't for Sunny, I most likely wouldn't be out and about and walking in the snow. He and I went out twice today, once for a 90 minute walk. By the time we were done, I was frozen and he was ready for more.

This was a photo of Sunny looking out at the Potomac River and the Roosevelt Bridge. 

The building in the background is the Kennedy Center. I have to say on my 90 minute walk, I did not see a lot of people. Which I LOVE. Snow days are the only times when you are in the city and don't feel completely congested with cars and people. 

Don't you just love seeing the cherry blossoms in February? There are three trees outside of the Kennedy Center that bloom every February. They give us hope that eventually it will be spring. 

I entitle this.... Selfies with Sunny!

A cute face, no? This fellow is all business on his walks. His business is locating anything that scurries and moves. Don't you know it, he pounced on a field mouse outside the Kennedy Center. I did not see it under the snow, but you know Sunny most definitely did!
