That is EXCELLENT news, Don! I hope there is no "long COVID" along with her case.

I've got one! I have friends who used to come over for lunch every few weeks; we retired from the same institution and have been friends for years so we meet to talk - about mostly everything else except the institution. These wonderful lunches stopped in January 2020. We've only had one meeting all of us this year, with our masks and the time was cut short, but we're going to do another and have set the date next weekend. That said, I suddenly feel inspired to pick up around here, to dust and sweep and scrub sinks and make the house an inviting place for our visit. We may still wear masks part of the time, but we'll all be vaccinated.

I made a batch of my favorite cranberry bars that I cut in very small pieces and put in the freezer, so some of those will come out for dessert, and whatever we have, it will include a side of fresh salsa made from the abundance of tomatoes and peppers in the yard this summer. I canned a lot of it, but I have some tomatoes that aren't perfect and shouldn't be canned, but they will be just fine for a fresh batch that goes into the fridge in a jar. My house smells amazing right now, counter tops are beginning to be cleared, and the table will be clear and ready to use next week.

BONUS: There is a thunderstorm hovering over the area this afternoon. My blue heeler doesn't care for it, but my garden loves it!
