Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2002. Mattie was about one month old. We were sitting outside on our deck getting some fresh air. As you can see, even at that young age, Mattie was full of life, motion, and wanted to understand what Peter was doing!
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
I went to the post office today for Mattie Miracle business, and what I noticed for the first time was people out and about and dining outside on patios. Virginia is in phase one of opening and this allows restaurants to open their outdoor portions. I can't tell you what a glorious sign this was today, it was like a ray of hope.
This is the first time Peter and I ordered entrees to go. Don't ask me why we never did this before, but after months of non-stop cooking, it was delightful to eat trout NOT prepared by me!
For the last two weeks, I have been working on this year's Walk video. It was a labor of love this year as we had messages and photos coming from all over the place. It took me a while just to get those communications organized and then to figure out how to highlight the virtual walk. It is much easier covering a live event, but a virtual one has to tell a story. I am hoping after clicking on the video below and watching it, you feel the incredible energy that we received through social media. I am not sharing this video yet on our social media platforms, but will within the next week or so. So my blog readers are getting the preview!
