Normal for now

I think we have reached the 'normal for now' mark because really do any of us know what the new normal will shake out to be?  We, seniors, are lucky. At our age, we have either learned how to roll with the punches or we are planted in the cemetery. If we do happen to get Covid-19 they predicted that our age group would be hit the hardest and in some ways that has been true. As for me and mine, we have done our best to obey the rules as they have been requested and it has not been much of a hardship. We will continue to take care and live on hope and hamburger.

We have been in our summer home for a week as of today. So far, so good. We have seen one of our friends, Mickey, from a distance. We happened to be going by her house and she was outdoors so we pulled into her driveway for a 6 foot+ visit. Sure was good to see her.

I told Butch I was ready to take a drive around the county and take some Spring type photos. The only thing missing is the sun! Cloudy day pictures are not that much fun to take or to look at.

The bird feeders are filled and the war of the squirrels has resumed. Butch now has to rely on stealth instead of speed. He shot off the BB gun in the air and they indeed remembered what that meant.

Butch is giving up the cane entirely for short trips. He says it doesn't feel totally comfortable but it is way more than he was doing 3 weeks ago so we are happy with it. The pain has abated and he should be ready to resume therapy. We are waiting for our 14-day isolation to end before we schedule much. 7 more days to go. We have an appointment in Moscow Iowa for the leveling legs on the motorhome on May 28th.  Therapy will be back on the list when we return from that, followed by getting our 2nd shingle shot and seeing some of our friends from a distance. In June we have appointments with the plastic surgeon for a dermatology exam and eye doctor for exams, not on the same day.

Till next time...
