March 2020

What a month! We sheltered in place from the Covid-19 Virus, so life was pretty simple, venturing out only to go the grocery store and for a walk, which wasn't too hard for old retired people who normally live a bit like hermits. Stephen and Ann have moved into the basement of Millie's house (formerly theirs) while their new home (formerly Millie's) is being remodeled, so they have VERY limited cooking possibilities. Consequently, they have been eating with us. To stave off the boredom of confinement, Katy organized an SKT/DAT families Marco Polo Covid-19 lip sync competition. It turned out to be very entertaining. March 27 was my 74th birthday. We had to cancel Cousin's Breakfast and March 29 we were to have flown to Paris, but had to cancel: major March disappointments.

Like the rest of the world, we have been streaming all kinds of fun

movies and shows

We are likely to be in some kind of confinement for months, so life will be pretty tame for the foreseeable future. This is all for now.
