Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2006. As you can see Mattie was wearing one of his favorite movie character's on his shirt. Lightning McQueen was the rage that year in our home!!! We had Lightning McQueen cars, clothes, slippers, an umbrella, and flashlight. You name it, we most likely had it! Now exactly what Mattie was doing here was besides me. He got it in his head that he wanted to put on Peter's pants. So the photo captured how well that worked out!!!

As I write tonight's blog, I am happy to report that I am safely back in Washington, DC. The weather in Los Angeles today was 80 degrees, quite different from the shocking 12 degrees which greeted me upon landing at Dulles Airport. As my faithful readers know, I dislike flying!! That is actually putting it mildly, I do it because otherwise my life would be limited geographically, but I have to psych myself out to go on a plane. With winter storms all last week, flights today were over booked, crowded, and all of this makes people TENSE! By the time I got on the plane, I found an older man in my seat. When I told him it was my seat, he proceeded to tell me that he wanted my seat so he could sit next to his wife. The only drawback was his seat was in another row, and was a middle seat. I tried to tell him that I booked an aisle seat for a reason, but I wasn't getting too far with him. He walked with a cane and I had observed him in the airport. He was antsy and couldn't sit still when off the plane, so I imagined on the plane wasn't going to be any better. So given his age, I wasn't going to argue with him and did him a favor. So I sat in the middle. I place I really do not care to be. The middle makes me feel trapped and confined. My luck though was that I was sitting between two men who kept to themselves and were pleasant seatmates. Thankfully despite winds in DC, we had a smooth and safe flight.
I want to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to the anonymous person who sent me the clip of Mattie below with his wonderful nurse, Katie. Here is the video clip I wrote about last night...... Katie and Mattie performing an impromptu version of the Three Little Pigs. To me this video is priceless and precious and I have now saved it in my files. I so appreciate you reading the blog and sending this electronic gift my way. You made my day!!!!
