Monday, August 31, 2020 We have been in the midst of the Covid19 Pandemic now since February - locked down at home, wearing masks in public, staying 6 feet away from everyone - no hugging in Country Grocer anymore! Sigh. It has changed us - well, me anyway. I am always aware when I see people that this virus is lurking, waiting to pounce and that keeps me behaving in the safe ways prescribed by health authorities. It is way worse in the USA who now leads the world in Covid deaths. Trump likes being number one so he must be pleased. I am wondering when I will be able to see any of my family members again. I remain hopeful that a treatment or a vaccine will come along in the next year and to that end, Stevie and I have blocked off May 2022 for our trip to France finally. The way I am feeling now, however, I kind of want to fly to Europe and just stay there for a very, very long time. Visit Belgium and eat chocolate, visit Italy and Greece and see the ancient beauty, go up to Denmark...
