Life's a Stitch

That's how long we've been home from Bali and adapted our lives to the new vocabulary: we’re maintaining our bubble, physical distancing, masking up, washing, sanitizing, and all the rest. How well it's working is evidenced, not only by the fact that we appear to remain covid-free, but we are free of any traces of common cold and the kinds of GI problems that are caused by surface bacteria. The world may be turning into a healthier place as the result of this. 

In that 120 days we've had five birthdays. B and his GF, were the first at a time when we thought that travel might be restricted for weeks and anticipated seeing them soon. They're still in Bali with a huge time difference, so FaceTime was what we managed for now.

C's was a big number that required a family Zoom party where we played online Jackbox.

M's, exactly two months later, was a four person celebration.

E wasn't here for her's but I gave her a painting of her 18ish-year-old cat, Chompers. I took the photo last year at Easter. He was basking in a warm ray of light, giving me his look, and I told him I'm gong to paint you. And here he is, another year older and still with us, so to speak.
