A Nice Mother’s Day!

I had a very nice Mother’s Day and once again it was a lot different from all the other Mother’s days due to the Coronavirus. Both of my girls honored me with some great gifts.  A new chair for my room, a great picture and a grandma’s pillow.  I was also treated to breakfast, lunch and ice cream!
It did seem weird that I did not go to church and celebrate with all the other moms but I watched my church service on line.
We went to St Augustine, an unplanned but fun outing, and it was weird to walk around an always busy historical area and have it so quiet.  The shops and restaurants had their social distancing in place and people in general were all considerate of social distancing.  It is a weird new normal and kind of sad because people just seem colder and not even greeting or making eye contact. Some shop owners seemed rude and I am not sure if it was because it was Mother’s Day and they were working or if they just didn’t care.  No greeting, no do you need help, not even a smile.  Needless to say, those shops did not get our business.
When we got home I tried out the hot tub for the first time and it felt wonderful.  Very relaxing and fun to sit, watch Rory play and enjoy a soda.  It was a great day. Thank you Jenny, Nate, Rory, Carrie and Pam for making it so special!
