Sunday, September 20, 2020

Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2005. Mattie was three years old and on the weekends, he and Peter would have canoe adventures on the Potomac River. The special part about that day, was I was invited along. Mattie loved being on the water and was intrigued by all boats. So much so, that he wanted a real boat of his own one day.

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

• number of people diagnosed with the virus: 6,791,815
• number of people who died from the virus: 199,479

The highlight of our day was about a four mile walk with Sunny. This is the first time in months he has been able to walk such a distance with stamina and strength. He has come a long way since April when he had knee surgery. 

While on the National Mall, we were stunned to see one cherry tree with blossoms. This is typically only seen in the spring! 

Seeing flowers and greenery always gives us hope. 

Guess who this is a painting of? That's right, it is Sunny! Peter did this yesterday during our virtual art party. I forgot to post it, but I absolutely love it!
