Covid – Covid – Covid…… yup that’s about it. However it has challenged us how to maintain a sense of normality in a non-normal world.

For example I now meet up with a small group of guys down at Riverside Park on Tuesday morning for a 1 1/2hr Jam Session. We use to meet at the Smorg Deli, but can’t do that with the physical set up of the Smorg.

The Kamloops City Strummers started practising as a group again. We had a trial jam session at MacDonald park and then we had a regular practise on Tom’s back deck. Everything was done with correct physical distancing measures being followed.

Exercise, bike riding, line dancing, etc. continues so we are keeping busy that way.

Big new for June is the Oliver turned 8 years old………… where the heck did those years go?

Also in June I had an almost one year follow up visit to the Doctor and everything looks great. I am going off of some medication at the end of July which will be great as it is the blood thinner that causes me to bruise easily and if I cut myself it takes for ever for the blood to clot.

Covid and it doesn’t look like it’s going away for quite a while.

May was pretty uneventful this year. The last few years we have been getting ready to head off on an eastern Canada vacation, but not this year.

So instead we have been staying close to home and exercising lots. Brenda has been participating in regular Zoom calls with instructors from the YWCA, plus Line Dancing 3 times a week with a very small group of ladies. Everything is being down with physical distancing be practised.

Who knows what June will bring?
