Sunday, April 22, 2018

Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2009. You may be asking yourself.... what was going on here? Well, Mattie was in his hospital room with an entourage of people having a physical therapy session. Mattie's therapy sessions were always one for the books! My joke was Mattie expanded the repertoire of his physical therapist because in order to work with Mattie, she had to think outside the box. Not only was Anna willing to work with Mattie, she approached her interactions with creativity, enthusiasm, and was always flexible given Mattie's mood and how he was physically feeling.

I am not sure if I work harder during the week or on the weekend. It was a full weekend of chores. I spent part of the day on our April newsletter and the other part on staging our raffle baskets. I have five out of the 10 staged and ready to be wrapped. So I am making progress, but it is slow. 

Meanwhile, this afternoon, Peter encouraged me to get it together and go for a walk with him and Sunny. It was a great idea, as I needed a change in venue. On our way back home, we passed our local restaurant which makes their own gelato. I happened to notice a couple sitting outside eating gelato together, and I said to Peter.... wow how does that work? I told him we have to learn to sit outside and eat gelato. The weekends are usually occupied with Foundation work, so much so that there isn't time to smell the flowers/eat the gelato. I am hoping we can change that post-Walk.
