Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2005. Mattie was three years old and as you can see we went for a walk and then had a picnic. Mattie loved the whole picnic scene! Better yet, he just loved being outdoors! Which was something he taught me to appreciate.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

It is challenging to write a newsletter monthly. It takes time, discipline and content. Over our ten year existence, we have changed our newsletter template a couple of times. But what I wasn't expecting was a FORCED template change from Constant Contact this weekend. Constant Contact is the provider we use to distribute our newsletters through email. Creating a template takes time and attention to detail, as the template has to follow our color theme as well as provide enough space for photos, articles, and links. Once the template is created, I use the same framework each month to generate a newsletter. Writing content is hard enough, but having to recreate the wheel is even harder.
Yesterday I was all set to begin writing the September newsletter, when I discovered I no longer had access to the old template. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. Today, I spent hours selecting a template and tailoring it to Mattie Miracle's theme and needs. These were hours I hadn't planned on spending. But I am happy to say it is coming along and we are on target to sending out a newsletter next week. If you are a blog reader, but do not receive our newsletter, and wish to, please email me (vicki@mattiemiracle.com).
