Tonight's picture was taken on December 5, 2002. This was our first snow fall of the season. I dressed Mattie up so that we could capture a photo for our family Christmas card. In between photos, Peter made a snow ball and showed it to Mattie. Don't you just love Mattie's inspection of this white ball?!!!

Recently I received a couple of emails out of the blue from a few people I have met over the years. Either I worked with them in some way or had the opportunity to interact with them through the Foundation. These individuals who reached out to me don't know each other, therefore, the fact that I received emails from them this week is sheer coincidence. Perhaps it is the holiday season that causes all of us to be more introspective, and thereby triggers people to write emails. I don't know. But one things I do know and that is we all like knowing that either something we did or said, made a difference in another person's life. So given the two plus weeks Peter and I have had with his mom's accident, receiving positive messages is a wonderful way to start off our trip tomorrow.
Peter and I did not stop moving from the moment we got up this morning. It was one chore after the other, after the other. Within our day, we had to board both Sunny and Indie. Neither of which like being separated from us. I always admire people who have family around to care for their pets or children. Peter and I never had this and therefore always had to find outside sources for help. I rarely had a babysitter for Mattie, and somehow this philosophy translates over to Sunny and Indie. Today I was thinking.... why do I never see a dog on a cruise ship? If people can bring animals on planes, why not on a cruise?! No answer, but I chuckle thinking about Sunny and Indie on the high seas! Any case, I will be writing to you tomorrow from Florida.
