Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2007. That particular weekend, Peter took Mattie out in a row boat on the Potomac River to go fishing. They had many adventures like that together. As you can see Mattie caught a catfish. Well long enough to snap a photo of it before they threw it back in the water! Mattie always came back from one of these fishing trips with a full report for me. These times on the River were special moments he had with his dad, but on occasion I would be invited along, and I got to see exactly what Mattie was learning. The art of catching a fish, rowing a boat, learning to be comfortable on the water, and just appreciating time conversing and being together.

This afternoon, I started to feel ill again and am running a fever. I have my CT scan scheduled for Thursday. I can't seem to stay away from scans and tests! Of course the last time I had a CT scan, the results revealed questionable masses that introduced me to my own set of oncologists, in which I had to be monitored monthly for over a year. Another experience I could have done without. Therefore more issues now only exhausts me further.
