The first part of July was busy with trips to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Michigan (again).

This included a going away party for one of Myke's nieces, who is moving to Utah, lots of fun with grandkids, including a trip to Del Grosso's amusement park, and a visit to Myke's parents way up north in Michigan's Upper Penninsula.

I retired at the end of March.

The fact that I'm posting this at the end of June is a testament to how busy life has been since I retired.

There have been trips to State College to visit grandkids, Michigan to visit my family, and Burlington Massachusetts to do an emergency response exercise.

I put in over three times the required hours with the fire department in June.

I spent a year writing a novel on twitter, one tweet per day

"It's called 'Love in the time of COVID'"

I started it quite randomly, when Stephen King tweeted that he was "waiting to read" it

(Doing the math, that comes out to Novella length, not a full novel)

Here's the unroll all in one place:

Probably not the same deer as the one from our backyard in September -- here's one I happened upon while running on Theodore Roosevelt Island (https://www.nps.gov/this/index.htm)

(Yes, there is a deer in that picture)

Thinking of warmer days today, here's a deer who visited the back yard in September

Chris and I walked out after a thunderstorm had rolled by and caught site of a beautiful sky one day in July.

April brought warm weather and blooming flowers

Some foxes passed by in February

We headed up to State College for Christmas with the Grandkids

We may have been shut in by the pandemic in November, but that didn't stop the neighborhood deer form paying us a visit!
