Our friend Henriette came up with a great comment on yesterday’s post. These are exciting times. Who in the old day’s would have thought how much a hug would mean after a year without.
“New York Magazine headline yesterday: “Go Hug a Vaccinated Person Right Now!” Love it. It feels so good. Last night, Katherine had a friend she went to middle school with come by. He practically lived at my house when he was growing up, but he moved to Arizona, so we haven’t seen him in years. We were sharing Guinness and Trader Joe cheese and crackers in the gazebo in the yard with heaters and blankets, when we suddenly realized he was a firefighter and had been vaccinated; Katherine is a health care worker who has been vaccinated; and I am high-risk vaccinated. We laughed, stood up and exchanged the greatest hugs I have had in a year, like hugging a long-lost son. Then we moved indoors, where it was warmer. Bliss. Who knew such a thing we took for granted could bring such joy?“
There you go, timely results on our blogposts. I think that we might have played a part in that. But whatever, it is great news. And a great glimpse of our future. Light at the end of the tunnel?
We do need some good news! Is there hope for the Oasis get together? I think so!
off for a sunny walk loves, Felipé.
A delight to open today’s blog, and see Katherine’s Veranda Mask picture, and to find that my hugging story made the cut. Big smile. And your “Taking it Out for a Spin”did indeed play a part. You never know who you touch. Tomorrow, my close friend Dorothy is coming for tea. She and I both have serious medical issues, so, to be on the safe side, we haven’t seen each other since last March, even though we only live a few blocks away. Now we are both vaccinated and ready to roll. I plan to break out the brandy as well as the tea! Hugs to you, Phil–soon in person. Alleluia.
Henriette ~ how are you going to keep her down on the farm? Felipé.x
I have my vaccine and am looking forward to the Oasis get together! And many, many hugs!
Handler Carol ~ we for sure will not be able to do it without you. Felipé.x
Yes. Yes. Yes re the vaccine and hugs. I drove to TN and flew back because I am vaccinated. I was able to see my son, his partner and a good friend. The hugs were the very best. Now to hug you two!!!
Bonnie ~ look out Bonnie’s on a rampage! Yes, having the vaccine really has an affect on our attitude. That is quite a drive from AZ to TN. Was that as fun as it used to be? Felipé.x
