This afternoon, Margaret visited her Aunt Lil at the Carman Personal Care Home. It's one of the few covid-free Homes in the province of Manitoba. They have a very rigorous protocol to follow to enter the facility.
So, now, it's Christmas Eve here in covid-red country. It will be Christmas Day (so, Merry Christmas!) before I finish writing this epistle. Earlier in the evening, Greg and Josi dropped off some Christmas presents for Margaret and me (from a safe distance on the front steps). We passed their gifts to them, too)
We watched the Christmas Eve Service of the United Church here in Winnipeg on the TV. We used to go there in person (it's much better that way). The only one in the church was the minister. Everything else was done remotely (acapella singing and instruments). It was very well done! Marg sang along with the remote choir - I didn't embarrass myself by trying to sing with her.
Margaret will deliver some gifts to Mike and Tasha on Boxing Day (also from a safe distance). Will our world ever return to normal? I'm wondering, now when we'll get our covid vaccinations. Time will tell.
