It’s been a strange year. The semi-quarantine we are living in began almost like a game. Sometimes, it reminded me of camping.
People stayed at home. They played board games, ate ALL meals together and watched a lot of TV. It was a new adventure and almost fun. Families brought out favorite recipes they had forgotten. Zoom, which was mostly unknown by most Americans, suddenly became ubiquitious. Every one was Zooming for family gatherings, playing bidge, religious servies and business.
And everyone was walking. Dogs have never been happier as their masters took them outside 3-4 times a day. And they were with them all day long, as well. Heaven! Also, stores were running out of flowers and topsoil as folks spent hours laboring in their gardens.
But soon the fun of it all began to fade. Cooking became a chore again. Lovely quiet evenings at home reading, soon lost its charm.
