BIRTHDAYS WITHIN OUR “BUBBLE”

WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE TWO FRIENDS IN OUR ‘BUBBLE’ WHO HAVE BIRTHDAYS ON THE VERY SAME DAY: OCTOBER 28! I HAD SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS AT THE END OF THAT WEEK.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE GOT TO SPEND SOME REALLY FUN TIMES WITH BOTH OF THESE FOLKS IN CELEBRATION OF THEIR LIVES. ‘JAZZ’ IS A THE NEW MOM OF OUR BEAUTIFUL GODSON, ‘NOAH’,AND WE HAVE KNOWN HER SINCE SHE WAS A WEE GIRL IN CALGARY. HER PARENTS ARE WONDERFUL FRIENDS OF OURS AS WELL.JAZZ IS ON ‘MAT’ LEAVE FROM HER GRADE SCHOOL TEACHING JOB.

THREE OF THE FRIENDS IN OUR BUBBLE ARE ACTUALLY FRONT LINE WORKERS(INCLUDING JAZZ) SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY VERY CAREFUL ABOUT COVID PROTOCOLS.(MY SISTER, PAULA, IS HIGH RISK DUE TO COMPLICATIONS STEMMING FROM CHEMO FROM YEARS PAST.)

NOAH’S DAD IS A POLICEMAN AND A LOVELY NEW FATHER. THE OTHER BIRTHDAY PERSON IS MY SISTER’S HUSBAND,’ALBERT’. HE WORKS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AS A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER AND HE HAS ALREADY HAD A FEW TESTS DONE TO MAKE SURE HE IS COVID NEGATIVE STEMMING FROM A COUPLE OF CASES IN HIS CLASS.

WE ENJOYED A LOVELY LUNCH AT OUR HOME WITH JAZZ’S FAMILY AND THEN A FUN TEA TIME AND MUSIC AFTERNOON WITH ALBERT’S FAMILY A FEW DAYS LATER.

OUR BUBBLE IS SMALL BUT SO LOVED AND APPRECIATED. I HOPE YOU ARE KEEPING YOUR ‘BUBBLES’ SMALL.

OH! THE BAD NEWS? AFTER ALL THAT BIRTHDAY CAKE DURING THE WEEK I GAINED ALL THE WEIGHT BACK THAT I HAD LOST THE WEEK BEFORE. DANG.
