Friday, April 30, 2021Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2006. Mattie was four years old and I took him to the Reston Zoo that day. To me this shows farmer Brown in all his glory. Mattie loved animals, being outside, and the adventure the combination brought into one's life. Typically I never let Mattie ride a horse without me being next to him, but he had graduated to that level, and we were celebrating that moment.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 32,341,678
- Number of people who died from the virus: 575,876
Did you know that Indie loves her outdoor time? She is very nocturnal, and only goes on the deck at nighttime. Though Indie isn't as bright as our calico cat, Patches, she is smart enough to know NOT to leave our deck and travel into the commons area. Does this make you happy to look at? My friend Carolyn sent me this photo this morning. She bought it in honor of May 16th, the Mattie Miracle Walk. Carolyn and I have been working on our walk and raffle for 12 years now. Not only does she help us keep Mattie's memory alive, she is a friend we know we can count on to support us and the work that we do. My friend Margy loved to send messages by creating hashtags. So in true Margy fashion, I look at this sun and say #very grateful!
Newsflash..... we now have Walk participation in 37 states!As of today, our Walk thermometer reads... $80,098! We are in our final countdown of 15 days until the Walk.
