We too, decided to stay home, even though we all had Covid tests scheduled for last week. But not everyone could quarantine the 14 days before Thanksgiving so we decided to spend it quietly just the two of us. We are so pinning our hopes on the vaccine and can't wait until it can be distributed. Still, I am so thankful for everything in my life, in particular the technology that allows we to continue to see family.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-16991067529009123012020-11-23T16:57:28.027-05:002020-11-23T16:57:28.027-05:00Thank you for sharing this poem, lovely words.

Schools are virtual and the local community just wants students back in class, no matter what. Crazy times with many who don't want to mask and follow any rules.

We are staying home alone, and then of course making our calls to all my babies. We'll talk on our cell phones to see each other too! That will be nice. I have two here close to me, but I have 2 in Missouri also. Well, Christmas isn't really all that far away, but hopefully we will be able to at least get together with close family then.

We have made the same decision about Thanksgiving. Although we’ve seen our daughter and family it has all been outdoors at safe distance ... that’s not possible for aTG get -together obviously (and will be iffy from now on as the weather worsens). Sometimes I feel as if we’re the only family being this cautious, so even though I’m confident we’re doing right thing, I’m glad to have an ally!

Florida opened too soon after the shutdown and lots of folks here are stupid and rushed to the beach and to bars where they caught the virus. Your photos make snow so pretty - I guess that's the way I like it - I did move to Florida for the sun and warmth but I love seeing photos of winter wonderland.Carol @Comfort Spring Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308702098757071897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-7708078923340010062020-11-16T22:40:50.115-05:002020-11-16T22:40:50.115-05:00Oh my goodness, Pat, that prayer has me in tears. ...Oh my goodness, Pat, that prayer has me in tears. I am a person of busy, with to-do lists and ambitions that far exceed the hours in the day.

And could fit for here, too. It's just Rick and me for TG. It's not worth the risk.
