Hello!!! It's Nice to See You!

During this quarantine, it always lifted my spirits to have a Zoom or Skype conference call and “see” people. Even if those calls were necessitated through work, seeing other people always added a smile to my day. Now with the nicer weather and things opening up a bit it has been nice to see people-- other than those in my quarantine group-- in person.

 

Last week, I met a friend for an early morning walk on the boardwalk. Even though we have been speaking regularly, seeing her in person added a smile to my day. Similarly, the next day, my brother and sister came to the house for an outdoor, socially distant barbecue. Seeing my sister, in person, after over three months literally brought us to tears.

 

Who have you seen?

Saw my in laws and their family yesterday at a BBQ for Father's Day. We plan to travel to Florida this Saturday to vacation and visit some friends, but now a bit concerned with all the cases down there.

This is so true! I actually had a book club meeting in the garden. It is like learning to walk again - things aren’t automatic! We ordered pizza. It was wonderful.

I am in the CIty and have been getting out regularly - running and walking and finding the Parks too crowded with people. That said, this morning it was wonderful to see people streaming out of the subway station, stopping to get their banana and buying coffee from the vendors. But for the masks, it looked like business as usual on the UWS.

I am glad we have Facetime but it is not the same when it comes to the kiddos. They need to be seen in person.

One of the attorneys in my office was supposed to go down this past weekend to see his new granddaughter. He didn't go because of Cuomo's talk of potential quarantine.

Good point. Wasn't sure what to do at the beginning. No hugging obviously, which was sad. But the rest took time,

On the boardwalk yes. And I was shocked as to how few people were. One woman was walking next to me for a few minutes on her cell phone without a mask. It was very uncomfortable. In my backyard we did not wear masks. But we stayed six feet apart.

Our train station parking lot was still empty this morning. I was a bit surprised. Didn't expect it to be full but expected to see a few cars.
