Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2003. It was Mattie's first trip to the beaches in North Carolina. He was definitely intimidated by the ocean and strongly disliked his first encounter with the sand. So instead, we went on little adventures. That day we went to Jockey Ridge State Park and explored their NASA exhibit. Naturally I had to snap a photo of Mattie as an astronaut. Though Peter was a good sport, he had an upset stomach and felt very nauseous all day.

So far the chairs have been a great deterrent. Though I have to say I miss those days when Sunny could come up the stairs and spend the night with us in the bedroom. When Sunny was much younger, he literally would jump on our bed in the morning! With Sunny we really did not need an alarm clock. Of course all of that has changed now.
The highlight of my day was my neighbors Judi and Larry came over to visit. This wasn't a planned visit, but I find spontaneous gatherings sometimes can be a lovely surprise. It was nice to be able to just sit and talk for an hour. My dad was sleeping through the visit in his recliner, but my mom and I enjoyed the conversation. It truly broke up the day and was a terrific diversion. My neighbors also gifted me a homemade apple pie, and besides chocolate, I am a big pie fan!
