Even more Covid – Covid – Covid.

November is a busy time for birthdays. First off is Zach on November 10th and he turned 10. Then Sage on November 25 and she turned 15. Then Jeff on November 29th and let’s just say he got one year older. We can’t believe we have children that are that age.

Brenda’s outdoor Line Dancing and my weekly Kamloops City Strummers sessions continued until the third week in November when Dr. Henry imposed further restrictions to help battle this nasty virus.

If only everyone would follow medical experts advice to wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands we would be a lot closer to the end of this pandemic than we are right now. We can’t believe the amount of protests about something as simple as wearing a mask. Having said that watch this youtube video clip parody, by clicking on the following link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wro-Tg1_0Jg

Also, as Dr. Bonnie Henry says “Be kind, be calm and be safe”.

Covid – Covid – Covid

Early in October the Kamloops City Strummers did an outdoor and socially distant concert at The Shores Retirement Residence where GGMA lives. It was a nice day and an appreciative audience.

The Saturday of the Thanksgiving Weekend we met up with the Princeton and Kelowna families in Merritt at Rotary Park for a picnic lunch. It was so great to have everyone together and the weather held until we were all ready to head home. It was truly something to be thankful for.

The rest of the month just flowed by with regular day to day stuff. Line dancing for Brenda 3 – 4 times per week and strummin’ for me.

October 23rd was the first snow fall for 2020——— WAY TO EARLY !

Well, September arrived and of course Covid is still here; and we suspect it will be for a while..

Brenda and I and GGMA met Kevin, Tamara and Conrad at the park in Merritt. Sage was working and could not make the day trip. GGMA loved the chance to get out for a day trip and to see the great grandkids and grand kids.

Brenda continues with her weekly line dance sessions and I am still strummin’ each week either at Riverside Park and/or at Tom’s with The Kamloops City Strummers.

Near the end of September Judy was in town helping her brother Jack with his stroke recovery program and we got a chance to have nice social distance visit with her.

The final week of September we made a quick trip to Vancouver. Visited George and his family on the way down and it was good to have Jennifer stop by for the visit. Then on the way home we stopped to see Maureen and Art; they are still working on getting everything organized for their upcoming move in November.

Partly for a change and partly because of the weather on the Coquihalla we took the Trans-Canada highway home and stopped in Ashcroft at the fruit and vegetable market. Made the trip home a little longer, but more scenic.
