Said it was hard on everyone. She also had American soldiers billeted for a time. I grew up in Birmingham, the UK's second city and I still remember the bomb shelter down the bottom of our garden!

You may in fact come to a point when you feel like it's worth it. I think it's still a bit soon, but hey, I get it. I struggle every day with whether this all really makes sense, especially as time drags on and there's no clear path forward.<br /><br />I'm glad you got to spend time with the grands, even virtually, and I'm glad Hank and Rachel had some kind of celebration to mark their still-special day.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-89526362831347648912020-04-19T09:48:32.265-04:002020-04-19T09:48:32.265-04:00It is hard but it's not forever, just feels li...It is hard but it's not forever, just feels like it right now. I'm so glad you go to see some of your grandkids and read a book to one. Lovely. <br /><br />It sucks for Hank and Rachel but they're together. One of our docs is supposed to get married in August and he's stressing about it poor guy.<br /><br />We spent the day pruning a dying tree and burning the branches. It has black fungus and you have to burn the it or put it in the landfill, so we burned all day. <br /><br />I saw the rolling stones last night on the One World Together At Home show. It was nice to see and hear positive messages for a change. If only tRump could do the same it would be a different world. <br /><br />Stay safe my friend.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-11167465570399058432020-04-19T08:27:10.620-04:002020-04-19T08:27:10.620-04:00"Mer.

I love the fact that you read to them over Zoom. <br /><br />I think we should all wait a little bit longer before we start risking contact. I'm hoping that another month will bring about the beginnings of normal life resuming. We haven't peaked here in South Carolina yet, but so far our numbers are a little below the initial projections. That's a relief. Now if people will just be patient for a little longer we might be okay.....but then again, our dumb ass Governor is reopening the beaches.
