Don't Fence me in!

Hello my friends!    I was thinking today of bucket lists and this terrible virus certainly does not qualify.   If we were able to reverse it the entire world would celebrate in their different languages.   Oh how we would rejoice!

We would sing, dance, scream, shout to let the world know that everything's okay.


What happened!   Everything's fine and then all of a sudden..THIS!    Is it spiritual, scientific, or did mankind do something very wrong?

We are all in quarantine.  I live in a retirement community and we wave to one another...and that's it.    Our big dining room remains empty and our meals are served to us in our apartments.  

Outside our front doors we have a big blue clipper attached to the door frame and each day it brings
surprises ...things to keep our minds active...puzzles and word games.  We want to be able to sit at our dining room table once again with interesting conversation. 

Our servers are great.  They're very young and cheerful and our management is trying very hard to occupy our time.

No complaints!    I skype with my friends and family so I still need to comb my hair and put lipstick and earrings on.   And also change my shirt because they'll notice and I don't want them to think I' a slob.

My walls are coated with family and friends pictures, thanks to Donna my daughter in law.

I feel my age.   I walk with a rolator and I need hearing aids for my ears.


I have a Kindle and I use it every day.   It helps me escape

      Thanks for reading...Hilda Gordon a resident.





So for now...thanks for reading.
