I am trying to stay positive about the good things in my life. 1. I talk to my daughter every day on the phone. 2. My mini garden is yielding a lot of summer squash. 3. Laura and I are in daily contact as are Mike and Fredo. 4. I have good neighbors and chat with them outside. 5. The yard is pretty with hanging baskets and ferns. 6. I have Tina coming once a week to clean and she is not your average cleaning woman. She has a degree and is very smart and funny as well as being a good cleaner. 7. Ted and I enjoy each others company. I sorely miss my social life! I miss going out to eat and having a nice drink which ted and I took for granted. I miss lunches with the girls. The new normal sucks bigtime. We took our small pleasures for granted. We could go to the movies if we so desired or during the season, we could enjoy theatre. We have had to cancel trips. I wonder if things will ever be normal again, especially if the orange menace is allowed to extend his presidency. Be well and be careful dear friends.
