While waiting to get my vaccine I have been watching the news but our valley grapevine is fast and dependable.
Each senior has been rapidly phoning other seniors. Appointment times filled up quickly.
My vaccine will be today and I spoke with Robbi McNight.
She volunteers, with many others, to help at the vaccination site. She finds it a privilege to be part of something so positive.
Be assured that when you arrive you will be greeted by someone in our community who will do your screening: hand-sanitizing, give you a surgical mask to wear and check your health and your medical card. Robbi is proud to be part of a team so positive.

I would order more only to have them die as well. I finally went into the feed store for some help and advice. I asked for help because I didn’t know if I was planting them too deep or too far apart.
It’s April 1 today and I hope we all get to have some fun before noon.
Whatever our faiths or beliefs, I pray we all be blessed this Easter weekend, whether by Zoom, a small church or family gathering or out enjoying the fresh air.
I am appreciative of my faith. Long before COVID-19 I would imagine that when I get to another life I will be putting on a backpack and checking out the planets.
Right now I enjoy the vision of children hunting for eggs.
