Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2003. Mattie was dressed up for his first birthday party! Peter brought Mattie outside onto our deck where his birthday cake was... in order for him to blow out his candles. That particular April day was relatively warm out. Which was noteworthy because after that year all of Mattie's remaining birthdays were either raining or blustery.
Quote of the day: I have always liked coming home and sharing what has happened that day with my loved ones. I like comparing notes. I know other people do, too. I think there is a human instinct to tell stories, no matter who you are or where you live. ~ Sarah Kay
In any case, as Kay's quote so aptly stated, Peter and I do like to "compare" notes with each other and when he returned home from his trip today..... we exchanged stories. Of course we have different styles and manners of doing this. Peter's is more calm and even toned and mine is more charged and emotional. When it comes to Foundation issues, at times I can fly off the handle, but Peter is an experienced listener and friend. He certainly can push back when necessary, but he also understands the overall stresses of what I am trying to balance and run not just from a work standpoint but from the emotional angle.
Which is very much appreciated!
