Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2007. It is hard to believe that this photo was taken in a spring month! That day we did get snow and of course that inspired Mattie to want to play and build snow castles outside. So we did it! Mattie was the kind of child who needed mental stimulation and challenges. Without that, he got bored and just did not seem happy. In any case, from Mattie I learned that it is okay to be outside regardless of the weather. He loved it, so I made it work. Which is why I know Mattie and Sunny would have been great companions. They are both motivated to be outside and exploring nature.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 28,659,784
- Number of people who died from the virus: 514,333
This photo shows you the section of GW Parkway that I was on. It isn't a photo from today, but one I found on the internet from an accident in the past. Today, I was where the two police vehicles were on the right hand side of the photo. I was driving in the right hand lane and there were three cars in front of me. It was a typical drive home, until I literally saw a car crossing from the left hand lane, flip in front of us in the air and he then landed by crashing into the stone wall on the right. I heard no brakes screeching, nothing to prepare me for what I saw. I literally had to stomp on the brakes because if I did not slow down, I would have crashed into the three cars in front of me. Fortunately Sunny was harnessed into the back seat, but even so, his whole body hit the back of our front seats. He did not know what was happening, but I had to panic stop. It is a true miracle that me, the three cars in front of me, and the driver who hit the wall are all okay.
Thankfully I was able to brake and not hit any of the cars, but I consider this the gift of the week. Because we could have all landed up in the hospital or dead from such an accident.
