Hello Family:
I apologize for my lateness. COVID time is so weird. On the one hand it goes slowly and on the other it speeds by and half the time I’m not sure what day it even is. That being said, when the Givans got the month of September, it was with the thought that I’d have the fair to talk about. Instead, you shall be bored by just ordinary life.
As you know, we currently are a household of 3 humans and too many dogs to talk about. Kate’s dogs like to escape so we have made some dashes around the neighborhood. I’m so sorry I laughed at the Johnston’s when we use to watch you race by chasing Spotty. It has come back to me.
I returned to the school building June 1. Kids arrived August 27 and so far we are all still in the building. We have had some close calls so I’m sure it is only a matter of time before just essential office staff will be in the building.
Tim grew a COVID beard. Labor day weekend he announced if he and I could take a picture looking happy, he would shave it off. Notice how happy I look!!
He worked throughout the lock down. Many of his people were working from home but he stayed. Maybe that was good since that would have put us home together 24/7. I do feel like my house plants flourished while I was home. I just don’t converse with them as much when I work at the school building.
On Labor Day, several of us made a trek to the Holyrood home land. We checked out the farm ground where the crops looked good, drove by Great Tillie’s house and our house in Chase. Each looked smaller than we remembered and closer to the street.
