Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2008. I remember this moment in time like it were yesterday. We met friends in Bethesda, MD. The town had a hands on art fair, with all sorts of activities for kids. As you can see, Mattie got a red balloon and got to meet a man dressed up as a cowboy and walking on poles. Every weekend, we tried to do something fun or educational with Mattie, which explains why right after Mattie died weekends were impossible for us. We were truly lost, directionless, and we did not know what to do with our Saturdays and Sundays.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 33,354,473
- Number of people who died from the virus: 597,326
I was traveling for three days with 8 women. Yesterday we got back from Martha's Vineyard, and we were glad to return back to the main land. Mainly because it was cold, rainy, and damp. But it is also challenging living with many people over the course of a week. After a while, people feel like they need their space. Yet today, we were all text messaging as a group. We were joking with each other, as we were saying.... what time are we meeting this morning, what are we doing, and when is Quinn Patrick (a hotel staff member) picking us up in the hotel golf cart? We had enough and yet we miss the notion of being away! A natural feeling that anyone can relate to, when being away from home.
This is our last day in Boston, and we spent it with family. Peter's brother invited us to his house and we got to have lunch with all three of his children and catch up! I also got to meet Luna, their dog! A six month old golden doodle. Luna has a ton of puppy energy and Sunny played for a bit, but then gave up. Especially since it is hot out! Honestly this weather is frenetic! Earlier in the week it was in the low 50s, and today it was 90 degrees!
Tomorrow we head back to Washington, DC! It will be another full day in the car, and when we get there, we have a ton of chores to do, as we close on the new house this Wednesday.
