Winter of 20-21, Waiting Longer

   December was mild with little snow. We sold Simon's car for $200 salvage towed away on a flatbed. Jon and Sharon came for Christmas here on the 20th-22nd and we had a great visit as they stayed at the Quality Inn and there was room for all of us with Gramma spending a part of Monday with Elidia while we exchanged presents. The boys loved being at Pa Pa's and Gi Gi's as Paul had never been here and for Silas being 3 years. We got a new LG washer and dryer on the 28th and had Brad hook up the new electrical for us and are very happy with them. The New Year came in silently and until the 6th of January hope was rekindled. But trump would not go quietly into that goodnight and rallied his troops to take over the Capitol and congress during the Electoral College vote causing the most disgraceful transition of government in the history of the USA. Gramma had many appointments with the podiatrist, dentist, hearing aid and Sparrow for ultrasound on her left foot for concern about circulation. Biden became our 46th president without trump's terrorist's disruptions as the National Guard was deployed in D.C. and still having some presence there. I started going back to Silver Sneakers at the YMCA on the 20th, 2 days a week. We have had 3 snows of 7",4", and 8" to make up for early winter's calmness. From February 5th until the 20th the high temperature stayed in the lower 20's or less with many single digit lows allowing for that snow on the ground to stay at 19". Gramma has got both of her Covid-19 shots and Jane her first as the world total of cases going to 112.5 million with 2.5 million deaths while in the USA 28.3 million cases and 503,055 deaths, and in Michigan 583,000 cases and 15,400 deaths. Jane and I both got teeth cleanings at Rashid's and the cats shots and nail trimmings at Miller's Animal Clinic. Life has been so much peacefuller since trump exiled himself to Florida and Biden has actually shown what a president should be! Trump also was impeached for the second time but the Senate with 9 Republicans voting for impeachment did not finish the job.  May our country be forgiven for trump's sins against humanity!
