The Beat Goes On

   I had my final zoom meeting Monday the 1st and they will not have building subs next year. On Tuesday I went to Elmwood to turn in my key and give Ronisha a plate of Jane's cookies I promised her as she will be going to U of M next fall.  Buddy's Pizza opened June 8 and we tried their pizzas but were disappointed and had to call in about it and got 2 more for free the next week. They were better but still overrated. I've been going to mass at St. Gerards Sundays and now there is mass on Wednesdays at 8:10 also. Richard Dunlap started working on the hallway ceiling last Wednesday and finished this Monday.  We went to Valpo this weekend as we had not been able to go for 3 months so we had Father's Day with Silas and Paul. Monday the 22nd I got my first haircut since March 5th. My hair was the longest it had been in over 30 years, all wavy at the back corners. Gramma is back from Florida and we picked her up Tuesday  from Petra's and we will have her until tomorrow as she and Gloria got back on Friday when we left for Indiana. The restrictions are slowly lifting but the new normal requires caution and distance with new procedures for what we took for granted before Covid-19. Trump had his first rally against the advice of medical experts over the weekend and only had 6,200 show up when he said there would be a 100,000 and the arena in Tulsa held 19,000. Worldwide there have been 9.3 million cases and 479,000 deaths while in the US 2.3 million cases and 121,000 deaths, Michigan has 62,000 cases and 5,800 deaths with some Southern states hitting peak levels now. It is serious and we have a president with little ability to deal with reality and that is not fake news!
