According to my 2020 calendar, the last time we spent time with friends inside a home was on March 7th.....dinner and cards at our friend's house in Mequon. March 7, 2020.
Today is March 13, 2021 and we've had the most wonderful weekend. Friday evening we were invited for a delicious spaghetti dinner and then a lively game of Hand and Foot at Tom and Tricia's house. All four of us were celebrating our two weeks plus since vaccine #2. It was just such a nice, normal, fun time spent with friends. We were there at 5:30 and, dropping our jackets, started with some very warm, long, tight hugs.....it felt so good!
Saturday we had friends from Milwaukee come up to our condo for brunch and then a walk up the bike path. Again.....hugs and face-to-face conversation and laughter and togetherness with Ted and Phyllis.
Friday it was "just" pasta, salad, bread and dessert, Saturday it was just brunch....but it was so much more. I thought to myself that these gatherings were "small" things.....but they seemed like a "big" things. Dinner and cards with friends, Saturday brunch....wow.
What a blessing! Can't wait to do the same. I have had both vaccines, Joe has his first on Tuesday.....
