Tonight's picture was taken on July 13, 2008. Literally TEN DAYS before Mattie was diagnosed with cancer. We had no idea how our world was going to be transformed at that naive moment in time. We took Mattie to Roosevelt Island that weekend to feed the ducks! A Mattie favorite!!!

Each summer, my friend Ann's cousin comes down from Boston to spend two weeks with her. JP loves to eat, so when he is here going out to lunch and chatting is how we spend our time.
Today my friend Tina and I got together and took JP out around Del Ray, VA. We had gourmet burgers at Holy Cow and then went for home made custard at the Dairy Godmother. I will never forget this store, because when Mattie was battling cancer, the Dairy Godmother sent to the hospital a beautiful fairy godmother wand for Mattie.
We had many silly and fun moments together today. We even took Selfies (using my iPhone) together! Not sure JP knew what to make out of us, but he went along for the fun.
On my walk home from physical therapy today, I couldn't help but snap photos of these glorious Black Eyed Susans!
To me they are a happy and special sight!
They truly are short lived, which is why I wanted to capture their beauty!

Your memories of life with Mattie intermingled with activities you do now, helps me know Mattie better.
