Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2006. Mattie was four and a half years old and as you can see, he was posing in front of a field of corn. It was a corn maze to be specific. We went to many fall festivals with Mattie, and all three of us enjoyed the experience. Got to love that smile!

I made them a mushroom and spinach chicken meatloaf and roasted potatoes. It is now 7pm, the dinner is cooking.
My parents are used to going out to brunch every Sunday, but there was no way that was going to be possible. So instead, I took them out midday for frozen yogurt. They had yogurt and I brought along lemon ice for myself.
At 4:30pm, I started this horrific prep. The Suprep solution and the water had been in the refrigerator and then in the freezer (thanks Phyllis!) before I consumed it. Though it was only 16 ounces, I felt like I drank the ocean. It is totally disgusting and by the time I was 3/4 finished with this glass, I thought I was going to vomit. Even on anti-nausea meds. Now I wait for the fun to take place. I finished this hateful drink two hours ago, and so far nothing.
While waiting for the inevitable, I looked out my bedroom window, and look who showed up.... a beautiful cardinal. A sign from Mattie that he is with me in spirit. That means a great deal to me because I am not sure I will ever get over the fact that Peter chooses not to communicate with me and not to be a part of my life. After 35 years together, it is enough to make me lose my mind.
