Pictorial of the Year 2021

 

New years day 2021

As usual I'm posting pictures of the year and hope you enjoy them in lieu of sending cards instead I'm sending well wishes for 2022 and a great deal of love.

The Grouts live near 

Here's the photos that stand out for 2021. As you can see, not a lot has happened.  New Year's Day I'll be home on the couch with a cup of tea. This won't change as I'm unsure we can make it out of our driveway. See below.

Overall the year was like another year of plague and for that very reason I re read A Year of Wonder by Geraldine Brooks written about the plague of the 17th century. This was an excellent reminder of how very fortunate we are to have the vaccines [and boosters] to protect us from the worst of the ravages of COVID. 

We had a small window of opportunity to see the entire Grout clan in early August and I am beyond grateful for that.

the best of being together is eating and talking

 Volunteering at the library, I especially enjoyed playing guitar for the preschoolers. My speed.

the thrill of getting a jab for our health

This last picture was taken prior to our weekly guitar zoom which revved my guitar playing and song writing. 
STAY HEALTHY!
