NEW NORMAL

                                               Love the early morning sunshine.

We are being spoilt getting groceries dropped off at our door.  Thanks to Randy and Carol and Kim.

Is this going to be the new normal?  Staying at home?

Listening to the news is frightening.  Maybe I should just stay at home and read until I have read all my books.

Going for walks with Spenser everything looks very normal.  We meet the same dogs and the same people.  The boys are out playing street hockey and riding bikes and skate boards.  There is a group of young children at the park practicing soccer, others are running around on the swings.  The grass is growing and flowerings blooming on the cherry trees.

We talk to Rick on the phone and he sounds hopeful.

We drive down to the bird store on King George Highway.  It is a beautiful place full of lots of treasures and there is a calm that seems normal.  Spenser was allowed to come in and he ran all around so excited.

Dad is fixing something in the car, his G.P.S. and Spenser is sitting in the back seat.  He is not going to miss out on any rides.

The fact is that sometimes things are not always just right.  The sun is shining but we never now just what is ahead.  I start to feel doubtful.  Is there a lesson to be learned in all this.

I know I will appreciate life more as I wait for the fear to disappear and families to get together again.

It was really delightful to hear from you the other day. Thanks for checking in and glad to hear you guys are doing well. Spencer will feel just awesome after his ear infection clears up
