April 2021 - Self-Isolation Meals and Notes

We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  Only our son needs his second vaccination - then I suppose - I hope - we will feel like we can go out and about again.  Since our trip to Africa November 2019, I haven't been able to smell or taste much so going out to restaurants will not be top of my list - although I suspect my DH and DS are dreaming about that.  We'll see what happens.

What a shame that I do not have any grand things to point to as accomplishments during this strange last year.
