After the Christmas

 We had a good Christmas with our bubble friends. We have stayed vigilant throughout the trials of this year that shall never be forgotten. My birthday, 3/6, Butch's fall,3/7, and Covid -19 running rampant in the USA, 3/8, started the rollercoaster ride of a lifetime for us and nearly everyone else.

Birthday- I feel every bit as well as I did at 22 as I do at 77. Maybe even better because that has been so very long ago that I do not remember how I felt. I do know I am far wiser and more appreciative of everything now than I was then. Butch and I look at each other frequently and count our blessings of having each other and everything else.

Butch's leg- His broken right femur has healed very well and unless he is tired you would never know it was broken. At times he was impatient with his progress but for the most part, he did what the therapists asked of him and did all else required to get healed.

Covid-19- It added a new and unknown aspect to every nook and cranny of everyone's life. And surprisingly there were many lessons and blessings to the process of getting through it. With the vaccine now on the foreseeable horizon perhaps we can put it behind us within the next couple of years. I do plan to hold onto the good things that come from our isolation time, mostly the greater appreciation for what we do have and hold. I do believe everyone will join in on the saying of goodbye and good riddance to the year 2020.

Here are a couple of photos taken yesterday.
