pameladeanThe COVID test has about seven minutes left before I will read it. David and I are going to my mom's, which is also my brother's, for the holiday. We used to have larger gatherings, but my mom is very COVID-averse (she's 92, so yeah) and also had such a bad reaction to a COVID shot in 2021 that she won't get any more, so she's essentially unvaccinated at this point, so we don't bring anybody with us, even though they could test too. I don't feel the tests are quite good enough to push her about taking more risk.
ANYWAY, my reading list is overflowing with good wishes, so I thought I would return them all. I hope where you are today and what you are doing are where and what you wish them to be. We could not get any mincemeat, so I've made an apple pie. I had ideas about cookies, but ran out of time.
It is raining here and plans to go on doing so. It was raining, and it was going to rain. I don't see any blackbirds, and NO WONDER. Yesterday I went out in my raincoat and continued the task of edging the back sidewalk so the new (battery-powered, hooray!) snowblower will actually fit through it. We'd thought the path was 19 inches wide, and it had narrowed to more like 12; but as it turns out it's two feet wide, and much sunken. Anyway, I never expected to be out in the rain in 50-degree weather, edging a sidewalk with a sharpened shovel on Christmas Eve in Minnesota.
Test is negative, must run. It has been A Summer and I hope to do a catch-up post soon.
Love and joy to you all.
