This photo was taken in December of 2007. Every December we took Mattie to the US Botanical Gardens. It is a special museum in DC, but an incredibly memorable place to visit close to Christmas. The museum is decorated with plants, trees, toy trains, and miniature historical buildings (like the US Capitol), made out of plant materials. Mattie loved going every year, and what also made it unique was the museum was very warm. After all the plants needed this tropical heat to grow. So there was nothing like coming inside from the cold winter weather to this hot house!

First pick up was Ms. Indie. When I brought Indie into our home today and opened her cage, she made a b-line to find Peter. Indie is most definitely PETER'S cat. Yet Indie was even excited to see me when I picked her up at our vet's office. She gave me several MEOWS, as Indie is a very vocal kitty! She practically has a vocalization for every mood and emotion she wishes to express.
When Sunny came through the front door of our home and saw Peter, he literally was running around our living and dining rooms. He was THAT excited. I took a video of it, but videos are harder to upload to the blog, so I instead took a screenshot of the video to share here. You can literally see Sunny running with joy!
I walked Sunny 2.5 miles today in the cold and he is sticking close to us all day. Clearly Sunny and Indie are thrilled to be back home.

Home is where the heart is! An old but true quote that even our dogs & cats, definitely feel when they come home. I loved seeing the happiness in your home and the greetings, you received. Love abounds with you & Peter.
I loved Mattie's photo and the knowledge that you visited the Botanical Gardens with him at Christmas. I love the whole place but the train exhibit is my favorite each year
