Only two more days left of this year. It seems everyone I talk to can’t wait for 2021 to be over. I know there’s been a lot of not great things happen this year, but we’ve had a lot of good things too and I’m trying to count my blessings instead of lingering on the bad. We’ve gained a new daughter-in-law and granddaughter on the way. We moved closer to family and were able to spend Christmas and Thanksgiving with most of them for the first time in years. We rekindled old friendships, while trying to keep up with the ones we left behind in Washington.

I found new places to donate my charity knitting to and so far, we are all healthy. I have my wonderful husband of almost 44 years with me 24 hours a day now and I’m loving it. Since he’s been working from home, we have been enjoying each other‘s company so much. I think retirement will be fun!

So far it’s still the four people in Brad‘s family who have tested positive for Covid from Christmas Eve. His parents and none of the three of them have gotten sick. They are quarantining though and staying away from everyone. Mom seems to be doing just fine, although she did get tested yesterday. I don’t think we have anything to worry about there.

And I took my shower in our new bathroom this morning! We wanted to make sure everything worked and there were no leaks. I have some photos for you.
