Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2006. Mattie was four years old and for his birthday we bought him his first bicycle. Mattie was very excited and he and Peter went to pick it out! That afternoon, Peter assembled the bike and Mattie began riding in our commons area. That commons area saw a lot of Mattie firsts.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 41,420,146
- Number of people who died from the virus: 665,150
Today was another crazy day on the Farm. Again, I was up and moving at 6am. Here is a listing of today's visitors:
- Tile installers to fix our laundry room, because when we moved cabinetry away to fix electrical issues, we saw that the floor was not level and had two different tiles.
- HVAC person to fix our thermostat controller.
- Our electrical team to do more work and install lights by garage.
- Fairfax County inspector to sign off on electrical work.
- Roof repair folks to begin soffit and gutter replacement.
I feel like we have faced practically every problem possible and could consult and support homeowners in our region at this point. However, in the midst of juggling this three ring circus on any given day, Peter and I are both working. Peter has a full time job and I am trying to run the Foundation. Poor Peter has been taking conference calls while running around after contractors. There are some things that I just don't get, basically anything mechanical, and Peter really has to be around for these conversations. Because unlike what we had for 27 years in DC..... on call support with electrical, heating/air, and plumbing, we don't have that here. So one of us has to understand how things work.
