Just before lunch time, we headed out into the brave new world. There was a line heading into the bakery. There was another line outside Target, and there was security directing traffic. Right inside the door was a sign listing the most wanted items. Did they have hand sanitizer….yes.

Right in the middle of this pandemic, Target is remodeling itself into a JC Penneys or Macys. In the months I have been shut away, everything is changing. Most everyone wore their masks. Everyone carried a cell phone. Even houses changed colors while I was gone. This store that carries everything, seemed to carry vastly less.

Spring colors everywhere too. Pastille versions of all my favorites. Gentle terra cotta, for instance. Very odd. The same thing could be said for the greyed olives. One day when I feel rich, I will go get a few items. Perhaps I will feel upgraded.

  • Myself: Very tired. Napping often.

  • Reading: More Mayor.

  • Photo: Two Battle of Britain fighter pilots taking a break under a wing.

  • Gratitude’s: That I’m with George again. That I had a mask to wear thanks to Carol.

That must have been quite weird for you to experience the outside world as it is now! Very glad you’re back with George though :)

I am sure you were shocked by all the changes. Me, I haven't been outside our building since March 11...except when I had to go to the ER with my back the first week of April. They wouldn't let Bob into the building over there and the doctor stood on the other side of the room, never even looked at my back....

Wonderful that you can be home with George again. I hope you nap whenever you feel like it. I imagine your daughters and grandchildren are happy that you are home.

'Brave New World' is an apt description of our surroundings at the moment. And glad you are back in it....
