Where have I been???

 So we're done with the holidays and they weren't as bad as I thought they'd be.  Very quiet and I will confess a bit lonely but Zoom and Facetime helped.  I cooked!  I know - not my thing but what else did I have to do, eh?

Life is continuing on.  Staying safe, wearing our masks and exercising.

And . . . I bought a ukulele!  Facing a winter in MI (not going to FL this year) and not really making beads at this time, what was I to do?

My brother-in-law, John, took up the uke and I started researching on YouTube.  Yup, I think I can handle that.  I really missed singing and I suck at acapella so I went to the music store in downtown Holland and came home with my uke. Her name is Tilly.


It's been 3 weeks now and I'm killing "You Are My Sunshine" and working hard on "King of the Road."  My fingertips are a little sore but I'm having fun.  Even Petey has started to sing along.

Petey and I have both had our first vaccinations.  Next ones are scheduled for 2/6 and 2/18.  I'm a little ahead of him since I'm classified as essential - working in the medical field.

Our lives haven't been changed a tremendous amount with this virus except we're missing dining in at our local restaurants.  We've been understanding and trying to exercise patience - not my strong suit.

"This too shall pass."  I've heard that phrase a million times this past year.  I'll admit I'm a little tired of it but it's all we have so we'll hang in there. 

May you all be healthy.  May you all be safe.
