Tonight's picture was taken in January of 2009. That day Mattie received two gifts. A big wand and ice cream from the Dairy Godmother in Del Ray, VA and many military themed badges from my friend in the Air Force. You can see Mattie had the badges sitting on top of him and he was holding the wand! I will never forget the outpouring of love and support for Mattie the year he was battling cancer. Every day we received gifts either in the mail or they were hand delivered to us. I can't tell you what a huge difference these gifts of kindness made in our day. Some days the only thing that brought a smile onto Mattie's face was opening up a new gift. Which is why, no matter how many years go by, I will always be grateful to our support community!
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

- Number of people who died from the virus: 418,982
It was another busy day here! We walked Sunny at Turkey Run Park, and then I came home and worked the rest of the day. I was determined to get the January Newsletter for the Foundation OUT actually in January. That may sound easier said than done. The labor intensive part was going through all December donations as well as updating the Foundation website. All that had to be done before I could begin writing. But I am happy to report... mission accomplished!
Meanwhile, Peter and I put together chicken stew today. I like cooking bigger meals on Sunday, so I can have left overs for lunch during the week. I decided to try this chicken stew recipe:

However, I never follow the recipe in terms of quantities for vegetables. I always throw in almost five times more than is recommended.
