This is Mattie. I don't have a blog so my mom has graciously offered to let me use her's. Today Mom and I went to vist our former neighber who lives in a nursing home. I went in knowing it was going to be hard but thought I could make everyone happy. I came like a puppy who just got a severe scolding. It was so depressing in there! There is absolutely NO joy! The happy spirit is dead. My heart broke.
But anyway. On to the happy things! The Beach family were having their house sprayed for fleas so they came and spent the afternoon with us. It was sooooooooo much fun! Hannah brought her polly pockets over and we played with those for a while and then went swimming for almost two hours! It was fun but I'm exhausted! Well I gotta help Mom with supper so toodle-doo!

By the way that wasn't mom talking it was me... Mattie. We realized after I published the post that I hadn't mentoined who I was! We tried to fix it but the computer (I want to slap it!)wouldn't let us! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Dear Mattie,
Great job on your first blog post! I know what you mean about the nursing home. I've only been to about three but I just wanted to cry every time. I'm glad that the rest of your day went well though!
Mattie, you forgot, you are the joy in the nursing home! It's your opportunity to bring it back to those who have lost it and who better to do it than you with a sweet heart and a sweet smile.
Forgot to add: Don't give up hope in finding joy there. Sometimes it takes awhile but when you finally see someone who has never responded to you all the sudden lighten up when they see you .... it's all worth it.
Kate, you rock!!
