Woohoo! Another sign of the return to normal living!

2020's best gift

No need to sum up 2020 except to say that we have been blessed in this year of pandemic with good health, continuing work, and having our immediate family all around us. Once the library opened up for pickup of books we were fairly well taken care of.

I certainly am able to count my blessings in more concrete terms than ever before. Here's the biggest one — our grandson Andy! He's just over 2 months old now and we have the great privilege of providing daycare a couple of days every week. So we get to see him grow and learn about the world.
