A Methow Valley winter scene
Do you remember those awful but wildly popular "Carry On" movies from the 60's and 70's? British humor at its best and worst.
Amanda is giving the vaccine shots it at their family clinic now. She says it makes for some real satisfying nursing. Normal life, or what will be the new normal, is still far down the road, but with each passing day there's more hope. Not to mention, something to plan and look forward to, no matter how distant. Humans need this. We have friends who just booked a 1-month cruise in early 2022. Why not?
I'd be happy just to take one of those California trips that got cancelled. We still have a Palm Springs reservation for mid-March at our favorite place. I made it 9 months ago, after the first one was cancelled. It didn't seem possible back then the pandemic would still be an issue that far in the future.
There's still a bunch of big ifs, but I'm cautiously optimistic we'll get to go. And even if it is cancelled, there will be something else not long after once we're all fully vaccinated. See my sister and dad again this spring. And the kids can visit. Now that's something to look forward to.
Speaking of spring. The first of February marks the return of noticeably more daylight. The sun (when it comes out) is at blinding eye level on my walks. Some people were hoping for lowland snow this week to break up the monotony, but the typical Seattle pattern goes on-- temperatures in the 40's with on and off rain.
