I remember thinking as I read this post I wish my daughters would find partners that they love. My younger daughter picks one loser after another, all with violent tempers and jealousy issues, and my older daughter has low self esteem and frightens them away. Sigh.

And I'm sad for you that your daughter is moving away. I saw the video before and found it very moving. The young man on the left (with glasses) was particularly eloquent at the end, in his own words. Stay well and good luck with the last chapter of your book.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-73669396862653226272020-07-09T07:44:50.569-04:002020-07-09T07:44:50.569-04:00I love reading about your writing process.

Close enough you can still visit but not the same as having your daughter close by.<br /><br />I had a COVID test on Monday as they want asymptomatic people to be tested as well to get a better understanding of the disease and it's spread in the population. Still waiting for the results but I don't have to self isolate because I'm asymptomatic.<br /><br />We have an outbreak at one of our hospitals in the city which is scary and awful. <br /><br />Glad you all are doing well. Stay safe my friend.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-71893546430298587442020-07-08T18:24:51.340-04:002020-07-08T18:24:51.340-04:00I hope your cousin will bounce back.

Here in AZ we're freaking out just a little with the case counts and the apparent lack of critical thinking skills of our governor. No testing for us - it's in the triple digits and wait times are up to eight hours in the car. Nope nope nope.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-14082356963936475702020-07-08T17:26:13.291-04:002020-07-08T17:26:13.291-04:00I'm glad you had a good visit with your son an...I'm glad you had a good visit with your son and his beloved. I think a lot of people are breaking down and hugging their kids and grandkids. I am on the rare visits. I have to trust that they are keeping safe and that they would not come over if they had been engaging in sketchy activities. I know the ending will present itself. I'm almost ready to get back to doing some artwork now that all the house and shop remodeling is about done and my sister's house is in the last stages of preparation. so Boston's not too far, right? I think her job will be secure if working from home is working out.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-81445969991047323282020-07-08T13:38:38.337-04:002020-07-08T13:38:38.337-04:00I love that you had such a wonderful visit with yo...I love that you had such a wonderful visit with your son and his partner, that your life is filled with these moments of joy. We all need that these days, however brief it may be. Hope all goes well with your cousin that she is okay and recuperating. <br />That video... oh that video... it brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart. Those young voices, those dreams, those words. I want the future to be in their hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-78173063912213630922020-07-08T12:12:19.818-04:002020-07-08T12:12:19.818-04:00I love that photo!

Apparently that conspiracy theory about Biden is being circulated out there -- I don't know where it originated. Alex Jones, maybe? Anyway, people will believe anything if it fits their preconceptions and world view, no matter how distorted.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-89579278119398419052020-07-08T12:06:55.519-04:002020-07-08T12:06:55.519-04:00That photo is a meditation in and of itself.
I ho...That photo is a meditation in and of itself. <br />I hope your cousin gets well quickly and that none of her family is infected if indeed covid is what she has. She may have lost her interest in food but she has not lost her sense of humor and I love that.<br />We are all learning to live with this virus and the threat of this virus as time passes. Learning what is acceptable, what is not. What is high risk, what is acceptable risk. <br />And hey! Tequila! Why not? <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-36834922197860947722020-07-08T11:32:36.839-04:002020-07-08T11:32:36.839-04:00I miss seeing my grandchildren very much and am wo...I miss seeing my grandchildren very much and am wondering when it will be safe for me to visit them or when I will think it is worth the risk anyway. I imagine ways we can make it work - wearing our masks while having a picnic outside. They live 3 hours away so we have to coordinate that into the decision. It just saddens me.<br />But, I know I have been lucky because I have been able to stay home and stay safe and others have suffered much more than I have. I feel I should not complain and just keep making the best of it... It is just that some days... <br />Ellen D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03776803182673252265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-22793533993228211282020-07-08T11:27:54.512-04:002020-07-08T11:27:54.512-04:00thank you for the video which has been sent now to...thank you for the video which has been sent now to nearly everyone I know, all on the same page here. <br />We are still in lock down generally , masks mandated I have not been anywhere but to the grocery since valentines day. Covid19 would take me out of this world and I do not want to leave until the orange thing has been removed and BLM makes REAL meaningful headway. Goals! <br /> Thank you also for the update - son's visit which we knew would be grand, and daughter moving with love and a puppy.
