When you label large blocks of time on a post, like I just did, you know things are moving slow …
We spent most of this winter isolating due the COVID virus. I could not take the symptoms and Carey was making sure I did not get the virus. We stayed in.
We had planned a trip to Annapolis to see the grandkids, which we canceled. Our friend George (Cajigal) was losing his battle with cancer so we went to see him and his wife Polly. A short time after our visit he passed away, which was just before Thanksgiving. Polly and her son Jackson came over to our place for Thanksgiving. Hopefully relaxing for Polly. We enjoyed each others company. After that visit Polly decided to settle up in St Peterburg and move out to Tucson, AZ. near her brother. She needed to get the vaccine for the virus and move our of her apartment by early February. We made plans for her to move in with us in February until she was able to receive the vaccine, find a place to live in Tucson, and move out of St. Petersburg. As that was all in the works, Polly and her son Jackson came over again for the Christmas holidays. We had Bonnie Scanlin, a good friend, over for Christmas Eve dinner. Sort of breaking the rules but all five of us have been very serious about isolating so we took the risk.
Now January, we’re putting a fresh coat of paint on Paget. We think we’ll put her in the market. And we are also getting Apolonia ready for a summer cruise hoping that the virus gets under control.
Here are a few pictures of the holidays. And we report we’ve had our first Covid vaccine shot and will get the second one 19 Feb.
