Thinking back to a year ago. Terrifying news out of China related to the emerging, deadly Corona Virus. School cancelled for 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Costco lines. Toilet paper and paper towels. Deciding to take the kids and dogs up to MT for an extended spring break. 24 hours to pack it all up. 28 hours on the very quiet interstate as things closed down behind us. Walmart is my new best friend. Snow. The WK House. Remote living. Isolation. Asian backlash. Online school and working remotely. Watching the numbers. Keep the fire going day and night. April Fools. Easter. Introspective. Darkness. Jesus. MT real estate school. Church in the woods. Sharing recipes. Tiktok challenges. Birthdays and Mother’s Day. Tiger King. Ozark. Hubby flys In. Barn painting and tree planting. Picking massive amounts of fruit. Deer. Elle and Deer. Chickens, ducks, fish, Amish ponies on the pasture. I am a bee whisperer. Online shopping. Friends visit. Blue skies. Opaque fire sky. Midnight Celestial ponderings on the lawn. Shooting stars and satellites. Government ration food boxes. More friends visit. Lobster Bisque. Bacon. Brussel sprouts. Fauci. George Floyd. Lightning strikes. Chaos. Violence. Pain. Loss. Death. Riots. Curfew. Sad... work. Focus. Compartmentalize. Camp outs and cook outs. Goro visits. Amish auction. Big Kids return to AZ. 3 months. Youngest and I remain. 4 more months. Cottage. In and out. Canadian house. Summer vacation for daughter. Friends on the WK. MT real estate sales for mom. Oddly best year ever. Watering my acre trees and grass. Move the sprinklers keep it green. Quiet days. Fear. Doubt. Uncertainty. Seeking truth. Hope. Peace. Question authority. Suicide rising. Open states. Closed states. Hubby reunites his family. 7 months. AZ. Adjustment. Masks. Germs. Dance teacher gone. Neighbor gone. Invisible enemy. Doubt. Sanitize. The numbers. The vaccine. Trust the science. Spin. Manipulation. Politics. Inner peace. In person school. 1 month. Covid in the classroom. Back to Zoom school. Elections. Uncertainty. The numbers disappear. Voter fraud. Lonely Thanksgiving. Quiet Christmas. Happy new year. Not sure. Goodbye 20/20. Capital riots. Cancel culture is coming for all of us. No freedom of thought. No freedom of speech. Keep your mouth shut. To wear a mask or not to wear a mask. Forgot my dirty mask. Socialism. Communism. Freedom. Gas prices going up. Taxes too. Open borders. Dr Suess. Potato Head. Sold a house. No place to buy. Turn off the news. Go live your life. School on my lawn. Whole class invited. 6 feet apart. Teens need community. Pizza and Panda on the yard. Back to school March 2021. Learning what’s most important. Time. To reflect. Shelter. Grace. Courtesy. Kindness. Hope. Faith. Family. Friends. Respect. Good manners. Good schools. Good jobs. And, a good plan. Bitcoin. Peace. God and LOVE.
