Hello Everyone:
It has been a while since I last wrote so I wanted to put an update on the status of life in suburban New Jersey.
We are well and we are on our way to the post pandemic era, I received my first dose of Pfizer vaccine on Thursday, February 25, 2021 and get my second dose on March 18. For some reason Megan did not get notice for an appointment yet, but we are sure it should be.
I continue to run six days a week on the treadmill, with a break on Saturdays. I look forward to running outside and increasing my distance but for now using the treadmill fills the need.
I continue to bake cookies every week, I usually bake a double batch so I have enough to give 3 or 4 to each neighbor. Yesterday was especially nice because several people thanked me for remembering them, one of them said they look forward to the cookies every week and one said they get better every week.
The young family up the street gave me this little poster (the 7 year old is so shy she disappeared when I came to the door.
My 94 year old friend gave me a book by James Grisom – A Time for Mercy, the first book I am reading by this author. I gave her The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, an amazing book about resilience, poverty and the importance of family even in a dysfunctional setting. It is a book that makes you think and appreciate what you have. I thank my daughter-in-law, Gretchen for giving it to me.
Be well and stay safe!!!!
I’m so happy you are getting your vaccine. The things you do for others will never be forgotten. That was a beautiful gift you received from your young neighbors. Giving is the best that life offers – nothing like it. Keep running and stay safe.
