Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2007. After a full day sight seeing, we came back to the hotel and Peter and Mattie went into the pool together. Mattie had really started to become better acclimated to water by that point. I wouldn't say he loved to swim, but he was learning through lessons. He wanted the time to show Peter what he had been learning and to also to just play in the water, and this afternoon down time gave him that opportunity.

While I was gone in Los Angeles, Peter decided to replace two of the light fixtures in our hallways. This is something we had talked about, but I did not realize he was going to do this while I was gone. When I walked in the door last night, despite being tired, I could instantly see a difference in the quality of light. It really makes a huge difference. Now with our walls painted beautiful colors and these subtly lights, things look aglow! It just changes the whole character and quality of our space. The next project is what is going on our walls. Over the years, Peter has taken some glorious photos of places we have been together as well as photos of stunning flowers, the sun, and the moon. So my hope is to select some of these top photos that we both agree upon and frame them so we can display them on our walls!
Despite being on Los Angeles time, I got a lot accomplished chore wise. I spent a good portion of time in my garden and I loved the wonderful humid weather. I know people may not be happy with our heat wave, but I am in love with it! It could stay this temperature year round in my book! While working by the computer today, I actually had the air conditioning off and the windows open. With the window open, I could hear my friend Maria calling out my name to welcome me back home. It was nice to see her and to have someone check on me! This evening Peter took me out to dinner as a welcome back treat, which was lovely, as it gave us time to walk, talk, and reconnect!
