MY CAR BUBBLE

AS EDMONTON’S COVID NUMBERS START TO RISE AGAIN IT BECOMES IMPERATIVE THAT WE REMAIN DILIGENT IN OUR ANTI-PANDEMIC PROCEDURES. 

I HEAR PEOPLE SAY, ‘I’M DONE WITH COVID!’ BUT COVID IS NOT DONE WITH US ! 

I HAVE BEEN IN MY PROTECTIVE BUBBLE IN MY HOUSE SINCE THIS ALL BEGAN. I HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN INTO A GROCERY STORE AS MY HUSBAND IS TRYING TO KEEP ME SAFE. GOOD GUY THAT TERRY! 

BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SHARING MY ‘CAR BUBBLE’ WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN TERRY.  MY SISTER, PAULA, AND I LATCHED ONTO A BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY DAY AND HEADED OUT TO ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE SMALL TOWNS IN ALBERTA CALLED CAMROSE. 

WE ‘MASKED IT UP’ FOR A QUICK BATHROOM STOP AT TIM HORTON’S AFTER OUR HOUR LONG JOURNEY AND THEN FOUND A PRETTY PICNIC SPOT NEXT TO A STREAM TO HAVE OUR PICNIC AND …YOU GUESSED IT….TILE RUMMY!  LOVE THAT GAME ! 

IT FEELS REALLY GOOD TO HAVE THE BLESSING OF A SLIGHTLY EXPANDED BUBBLE AT THIS TIME….MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND, MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND, AND TONIGHT A VISIT FROM OUR SON, JARED, FROM VANCOUVER .  FEELING BLESSED DESPITE THE TIMES . AND TODAY I RECEIVED A SURPRISE PACKAGE FILLED WITH WONDERFUL DRAWINGS, PHOTOGRAPHS, BOOKMARKS, AND …DENTAL FLOSS !(BECAUSE ‘NONNY’ LIKES TO USE DENTAL FLOSS) HA HA.

I HOPE YOU ARE KEEPING SAFE IN YOUR BUBBLE.
