Monday, February 23, 2026Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2003. Mattie was almost a year old and that day he received a toy that was like a drum. However, it played music, did a light show, and allowed Mattie to beat along with the music. As you can see from this photo..... Mattie was down right fascinated with this toy!

Last night, as it was snowing, I happened to look out my window. Up the block, I could see red flashing lights. I thought it was an ambulance. So I immediately contacted my neighbor to see if something was going on, or if she or her husband were ill. Fortunately she was fine, but as she walked downstairs and looked out her window, she told me she saw a fire truck. Literally a firefighter was using our hydrant and was running the long hose through our street, over a fence onto the neighboring street. Why? Because there was a huge house fire!
My heart goes out to the owners of the house on fire and of course the water damage it sustained from trying to put out the blaze. I am grateful all the homeowners and the dog were rescued and are safe, but imagine your belongings, your memories, and things you hold dear up in flames? I honestly can't even wrap my head around this, and if we had to evacuate, I truly would be beside myself with two 90-year-olds in tow and not having the help of my other half. Nothing puts your life into focus faster than a crisis. Frankly I am sick of living in crisis.
