I know I’m not the only one to notice how the world has changed — so many “once-in-a-lifetime” events and threats in a short, short span of time.
The abject horror of the hypocrisy in Washington DC — what I see as the culmination of efforts throughout my lifetime to corrupt our elections, debase our standards of caring for strangers and our public image, and manipulate our government at all levels of power so that a very few can benefit leaving the rest of our citizens in the dust.
And then, Covid-19. I am so grateful that Will and I are together in this time of social distancing. At the beginning we remarked almost daily about the way I kept our social calendar filled — a conscious effort to help me fight depression. Without those gatherings with friends, I have really struggled.
Eastrose has its own share of drama to keep me occupied and while it is not always healthy drama, I believe it will come to healthy resolutions in the next few months. I did spend some time doodling in a $29 graphics software program. Works like photoshop and illustrator combined. Pretty good software for the new Mac Mini Will gave me for Christmas.
We have a new motto for our marriage: Will married me for HIS money. Just last fall he was notified of another retirement savings plan he wasn’t aware he had. He’s like a new man!
Just yesterday we settled our travel plans for the summer, at least thru July. The new barn is not yet functioning but will be soon. The wood shed is moved and the roof is returned to it. The two zuchinni are about to bury us with fruit!!
After Grandma Gus died last year, Amelia has taken a time out from family. We see Edith and her Tim (Crashims) pretty often. Edith is finishing the Funeral Director program and working at a cemetery/mortuary finishing her apprenticeship.
I’m going to try to add some photos to this blog, since I never seem to get around to a newsletter anymore. Here goes!
