Social ... what?

Now it’s about responsibly caring for others while “distancing”.  I went out strolling along the river with a good friend several days ago.  We loved seeing young families biking, friends briskly walking, and sunshine warming us all.  Loving sweet thoughts of our Kay, my companion through all of this ... and forever.

Back home at “the ranch”, we two visited a good 10 feet apart in our main lobby, shared photos by texting, and greeted friendly neighbors coming and going.  A refreshing break from social media.

Monday morning I helped an older couple load their longest U-Haul for a move to Texas.  We will miss them as neighbors, but keep them as forever friends.  Monday night a few of us neighbors continued the regular 8pm social, this time in our main lobby with responsible social snacks and distancing.  Locked out of the large social room, our Wednesday “movie night” will be limited to six healthy people, young and old, socially six feet apart with cookies by the third-floor elevator.  That will make me smile.

Life goes on ... with love.
