Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2009. This was a photo of Mattie with Meg, his child life intern. When it came to getting Mattie up on his feet to participate in physical therapy, we called on Meg. Meg became Mattie's opponent. They would have races around the floor, in hopes of egging him on to walk and take steps. Meg was great at hamming it up, and Mattie thrived on the competition. Of course you know that Meg always let Mattie win, which was part of the fun and further inspired Mattie to participate.
Quote of the day: All licensed nightclubs have been ordered to shut down operations, and all eating and drinking establishments are to eliminate bar seating while the city works to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Following up an advisory announced Friday that limited all gatherings to 250 people or less, the new guidelines include:
It seems like the safest activity one can do is to be outside and walk. So today we went back to Great Fall Park and bought a one year's pass to all the National Parks. The side I am standing on is in Virginia and across the water, the other side of Great Falls is in Maryland.
We snapped a photo of the Maryland side from where we were. I don't know if you can see the people sitting on the rocks. We shared our hellos from across the water.
Sunny loves Great Falls! He is always up for an adventure and gets a lot of attention from the other walkers.
Peter and Sunny.
The sky was ominous today. It seemed to match how we are all feeling regarding how our daily lives and freedoms are rapidly changing.
The three articles below caught my attention today! Slowly state by state, we are seeing schools closed, people working from home, and now restaurants and other activities closing down for a month. Totally unheard of in American history.
California, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts and Washington close bars and restaurants in effort to slow coronavirus:
