Thursday, May 7, 2020

Tonight's photo was taken in May of 2006, on Mother's Day to be specific. That day, Peter and Mattie took me to Tower Oaks Lodge in Maryland. I always loved going to the Lodge, because Mattie liked their outdoor pond (with fish and turtles) and food, and I especially loved how they gave moms a plant on Mother's day. I remember coming home with several geraniums over the years.  


Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

• number of people diagnosed with the virus: 1,254,740
