It's hard to believe it's almost July. This year is sliding by so quickly. We had a wonderful visit with friends and family for John's mother's 90th birthday. It turned in to a rather impromptu family reunion. Got to see some cousins I haven't seen in way too long. Enjoyed spending time with my daughter and her husband - who we haven't seen in way too long. COVID has taken a toll on all of our families. It is so necessary to get out and visit with everyone again. A Zoom call is not a hug.
It was a, thankfully, long boring drive home yesterday followed by laundry and a couple of showings. I am back in the saddle so to speak. I received an email that the phones at work were acting up yesterday. They should be back functioning today. If you need to contact me, it may be best to use my call number (717-801-5900).
We will be sticking close to home this 4th of July after our big trip North. Here are some fun things going on:
