Tuesday, November 5, 2019 -- Mattie died 527 weeks ago today.
Tonight's picture was taken on November 4, 2007. Mattie was 5 years old and we went for a walk on Roosevelt Island. You will notice I was carrying a large leaf. That was an item Mattie acquired along his walk. Which was typical of Mattie, he always came home with a treasure from nature.

My morning started at the Lab School in Washington, DC. I always know I can count on this school for a large supply of candy. Literally candy filled my trunk and my back seat!
Get the picture! Each year, I have the opportunity to chat with the Assistant Head of School, who is delightful! She has watched us grow and I always am amazed how up to date she is with what are doing. As she is a faithful Mattie Miracle newsletter reader!
Meanwhile last week I was worrying whether we would get candy this year! Mainly because it wasn't coming in. But today, things turned around. Now we have six large bins full of candy in need of sorting. Peter and I worked on it for a while today, and completed maybe a bin and a half. Now I get anxious for another reason..... will we be able to sort and process this candy before another big load is dumped upon us?!
We thank Privia of Arlington for participating in our Candy Drive again this year!
Girl Scout Troop 3742 came to help us sort today. I find it interesting the different sorting methods people use. The Girl Scouts sort candy completely different from us, but at the end of the day, they processed through a lot of candy and were a huge help.
