Tuesday, June 20, 2023 -- Mattie died 716 weeks ago today. 

Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2002. Mattie was two months old and I would say that Mattie was a great power napper. He would shut down for a few minutes and then perk right back up..... as if he slept for two hours!!!

Peter is safely in Oregon. He got to his leadership retreat just a few hours ago. The bed and breakfast where the retreat is taking place is near the Hood River. The landscape looks stunning. 

Right outside Peter's room is an amazing view of Mt. Hood. I have never been to Oregon, so seeing photos and hearing about it through Peter's lens is lovely. 

Sakura Ridge has its own on-site creative chef. This was tonight's menu. 

Peter sent me a photo of the polenta and mushroom ragu. I am not at all surprised that Peter sent me food photos, because he knows how much I love food. While Peter can remember places because of landmarks, map coordinates, and terrain, I remember places and trips by what I ate. Rather funny, but that is me!
