Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2007. Mattie was five years old. That weekend, we took Mattie to Dutch Wonderland in Pennsylvania. This was his first roller coaster ride. I wasn't sure Mattie was going to like it, particularly because I have NEVER been on a roller coaster, and I am just fine with that! They scare me, as I don't do well with motion. Fortunately Peter does, and what I learned that day was Mattie LOVED roller coasters. I can't tell you how many times he went on it. He loved the thrill, the movement, and doing an activity with his dad. I was just happy to be on the ground and to photograph that special moment in time.
Quote of the day: The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. ~ Ulysses S. Grant
Literally at one point trucks had blocked access in or out of our driveway. I was directing cars up and down our driveway, and at one point, I moved my car into the street and had my dad's physical therapist park in the garage. While I was walking in the street from my car, I interacted with one of the crew members on site at my neighbor's house. It wasn't one of my finest hours as I told him I have chaos inside my house and now thanks to him and his crew, I have total chaos outside and all around my house. Some days I can manage all the trucks better than others, but when I have people coming over to either help my parents or service our house, I have no patience what so ever. No patience because what I balance on any given day is already the impossible.
