Sunday, October 25, 2020Tonight's picture was taken on October 13, 2008. Mattie was admitted to the hospital for treatment that day. I can tell because Mattie was wearing clothes. Mattie only wore clothes when he was coming from home. Otherwise, when hospitalized Mattie chose to wear pajamas. In any case, the playroom was closed that day because a major donation was given to the hospital. Mattie's child life specialist, Linda, was trying to sort through everything and store the items. She invited Mattie into the room to help. Linda understood that Mattie needed to stay busy and have responsibility. They were good pals and Linda made the impossible seem much more bearable.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- number of people diagnosed with the virus: 8,626,537
- number of people who died from the virus: 225,197
The beauty of having a dog, is a bit like the postal service.... you need to walk in rain, sleet, snow, and sun. Unlike yesterday, today was damp, rainy, and bordering on raw. The highlight of our days is taking Sunny for his longer afternoon walk. Mind you he walks FOUR times a day. But his afternoon walk ranges from 2 to 3 miles. As you can see, the foliage is changing and reminds us that winter is coming. When we arrived at Great Falls Park, we were greeted by this grazing deer. This deer could have cared less that we were watching her. She kept on grazing and did not move!Sunny loves adventure! Mattie would have loved him. Sunny has no problem walking on trails, climbing rocks, and exploring. Sunny was on top of the world today!The beauty of Great Falls, even in the rain.
Despite the cold and rain, there were plenty of others walking the trails. For so many of us, our parks are a God sent especially during COVID.
