First, with the desk and little table having received their final coat of paint and properly cured for a week, we asked Cindy to bring some strong grandsons over to carry the desk back upstairs. On Thursday Cindy, Jack, Ross and Sarah arrived to complete the task. They were the first people we have invited into our home and they stayed and visited for awhile. We even hugged. Ross is starting work next week but up to this point he and Sarah have been together pretty well every day since he returned home from his mission.
Second, on Friday evening, we received a phone call from Camille, our great niece, and she asked if she and her family could stay with us Saturday night as they were coming down from Prince George to buy a new car. Camille is our nephew Jonathan’s daughter and she is now married to Daylon, from Prince George and they have a little girl Nova. We love Camille and we would never say no to her or anyone for that matter. They arrived Saturday evening, picked up their new car and we made them dinner. They had sacrament with us Sunday morning which was very nice and we made them breakfast and then a lunch to take on their journey home. It was fun having them and they were our FIRST house guests since the coronavirus and our arrival home from England.
And finally, as a result of Tom breaking his molar crown on a nut shell, we asked Liza and Brendon if we could come up to Kelowna for a few days while Brendon replaced the crown. We arrived on Monday and also Brendon’s birthday and Tom had the tooth prepped. The dental lab is short staffed and will be unable to have the crown ready until next Tuesday which is an unusual amount of time but we are enjoying being with the family. The children are still homeschooling, Brendon is back in the office under restricted Covid guidelines and Liza is seeing PT patients virtually and a few in their homes again. This is officially our first trip away from home and staying with any of our family since the isolation began. We are feeling very daring.
The virus is slowing down in some countries and going strong in others. There has been protests against racism all over the world as a result of George Floyd’s death in the USA. He was a black man that died while being restrained by the police. Social distancing has been not been very well maintained during the protests and we are all waiting to see if a second wave of covid starts on its own or a result of boundaries not being maintained.. Many countries have not yet opened their borders.
Our lives are opening up a little and the world is also opening a little too. We are all feeling somewhat tentative as we take these first steps.
