Abstract Thursday ....

... Fireworks.

Ok ... not real fireworks.  Those have been temporarily banned here in Pennsylvania due to ... well you know what.  Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting this wonderful challenge each and every week.

I usually write a year in review on the last day of the year ... but we all know what's been happening.  It's affected all of us.  Thankfully, we personally only know of two people that have tested positive for COVID-19 ... my friend's husband and a coworker of R's.  My BIL was sick with what he thought might be C-19 but thankfully he tested negative.  I know we have a long journey ahead of us before things get back to "normal" ... if it ever will.  But we need to stay optimist for the future. 

One of the good things that has come out of C-19 is the addition to our family of Kiera.  Just in case you haven't read her story ... it's here.  She has since then been spayed and tested negative for feline leukemia.  And she and Cheddar get along well ... for the most part.

Unfortunately, this past year I haven't improved in visiting all your fabulous journals ... and I can't say that in 2021 I'll be any better.  But I do try ...

So ... I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and safe New Year!  Welcome 2021!!
