September 13, 2020: PANDEMIC Family Gatherings: Ever since the Pandemic started in March 2020, getting together with Family has been somewhat difficult. Especially before the vaccines became readily available in early 2021. We decided that using our front and screened porches was a viable option as long as the weather cooperated. This has worked, as none of us have been diagnosed with the virus. (Knock on wood) We also tried a zoom call at Christmas. In 2021, post vaccines, we've been able to get together on a more normal basis, in home. We even went to Newfields to see the Van Gogh exhibit, however we still wore our masks.
