Saturday, January 23, 2021Tonight's picture was taken in January of 2009. Mattie was invited to his "girlfriend's" birthday party. As you can see, Charlotte was at the head of the table, and Mattie was given the spot right next to her! Which made Mattie's day! Though Mattie wasn't interested in me taking photos, and decided to hide his face in the tablecloth. Mattie introduced Scooby Doo to Charlotte, so it was meaningful that she had a Scooby themed party!
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

- Number of people who died from the virus: 416,907
We took Sunny for a walk at Great Falls today on the Virginia side. When COVID started in March of 2020, Peter and I decided to buy a park pass to national park. It is $35 for the annual pass, and given how often we are there, the pass has been a God sent. It was frigid today, with the wind chill it felt like it was in the 20s. But the beauty of owning a dog is that you are OUT and ABOUT regardless of the weather. Sunny forces us outside and interacting with the world around us. Otherwise, I would say we'd never leave our home.
I could hear the Falls from the parking lot! That is how loud they were. It was a wonderful escape surrounded by blue skies, trees, and natural beauty. Sunny is our explorer! He loves leading us on our adventures. In a way, Sunny reminds me of Mattie! Both weren't thrilled with my need to take photos, but they complied.
The rest of the day I spent doing Foundation work. Which entailed a great deal of computer time. I feel pressure to get this work done, as tomorrow I have to write January's newsletter for the Foundation. I wouldn't be able to do this tomorrow unless, I got the necessary data I needed and updated our website today.
I really pushed myself today and given that I am already tired, I feel like I may have overdone it. So that is a signal to me that I have to stop working before it triggers a migraine.
