Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2003. Mattie was a year and a half old and we posed for a photo by our oak tree, outside our window in DC. We grew to love this tree, especially during tent moth caterpillar season. As we learned that this was the only type of leaf they would eat. I remember buying Mattie this puppy dog hat and to me he looked absolutely adorable when he wore it.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 45,535,699
- Number of people who died from the virus: 737,250
We had our friends over today. They are going through a difficult time due to loss and grief. Peter and I know this feeling all too well. In fact, one of our friends is still here and it is almost 8pm. Peter and I remember these days of feeling lost and NOT wanting to go home. Afterall home symbolizes all the things that no longer exist.
Peter and I cooked a gluten free eggplant parmesan, we served rolls, a wonderful autumn salad, and I even made gluten free brownies. Naturally I did this because one of our friend's is gluten free. What I have noticed about people coming to our home is they feel relaxed. I truly believe it is because of the setting. It looks like the country, has plenty of trees, no noise, and in a way it transports you to another time and place.
