Brandon and I were talking about Covid recently. It is a blur in my memory. I went to the grocery store during special hours and photographed Civil War cemeteries (our governor said we could exercise outdoors and cemeteries were pretty safe from the virus.) My husband and I binge-watched TV series. Churches closed, but I don't remember the duration. When they reopened, worshipers sat in alternate pews. When the Adoration Chapel at my church reopened, there were fewer chairs and adorers cleaned the chairs and kneelers before and after use. Masks were required, of course.
Oh, those were scary days no one would like to see them back. We used to stay home most of the time. We followed church functions on the national tv, had our groceries delivered to our door. And my walks were in deserted areas. Thank God all seems to be over now.
A perfect illustration of the stringent requirements of the day. It felt good to be able to even go back to church in spite of all the separation requirements.
So glad those days are behind us. I have noticed here that even though masks are no longer required l do see a number of people who continue to wear them
I spent a lot of time at home in 2020. No place to go (except for the supermarket) and not much to do. It was 2021 that was more significant covid wise in our home.
@allie912 I have a friend whose previously-healthy brother died recently from long Covid, so it seems Covid is not entirely behind us, not to mention that other viruses could pop up. I hope we have learned from the pandemic. Wearing a mask in certain situations seems like a good start.
It really wasn't that long ago so many people died of Covid. We dearly miss family members and friends we lost. And I'm thankful my husband and I are still here!
