VACCINE PASSPORTS HELP WITH RENEWED FREEDOMS

 Having the double dose has given some freedom.

Knowing people will be screened for their vaccine status gives even more freedom.

The first day of the proof of vaccine and I attended an event.

Knowing everyone there was double dosed and screened for covid gave a wonderful sense of security.

Yes still maxed and hands sanitized but able to feel good about being at an inside event. Everyone at their own table.

The world is slowly opening up! And safely for all concerned.

A DAY AT THE FARM PICKING APPLES

 Going to a farm is fun with family.

So Sonya, Allie, Easton and I went to Applewood Farm in Markham for some apple picking.

Getting the best apples.

The entrance fee let us pick a squash or pumpkin each. So off Easton went to find the best pumpkin.

BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS-WRITING A COVID STORY

 Since April 5, 2020 I did several walkabouts in my home community of Richmond Hill. Taking photos of COVID signs and activities.

I felt there were enough pictures of healthcare professionals in masks and gowns.

Many of my photos were signs of the time. Along with some personal family photos.

So what would be your COVID story for future generations?

Now is the time to organize it. Your special family celebrations distanced and masked.

For our family it was no funeral for my beloved husband Adolph. So a Celebration of Life on the funeral home website, on my blog and wherever it was relevant.

I always think photos give  special attention to detail. Of course many items were missed. Like the welcome the kids back to school on school signs. Along Mill Street, many signs for drivers to slow down as the kids are back at school.

My little project will be compiled for the local history room at the library too. 

A statement like this can be therapeutic. Putting together your own covid story can help to talk about, reflect, and move forward from this worldwide pandemic. Photos. Video. TikTok. So many ways to do it.

Remember it is your story. Do not compete with others.

ROCKY SHORE ON THE EDGE OF PEACEFUL WATER

 A rocky shore by a calm water can bring peace. Finding a spot to enjoy the view and reflect on life is one of life's blessings!

TAXES AND DEATH ARE FOR SURE THINGS

 Whenever there is a little money left over, some tax or other raises its ugly head.

So paying taxes always gives me some trepidation.

House.

Income.

Food.

Clothing.

Liquor.

Gas.

Well you get the picture.

If one makes money, one pays taxes.

WHAT A LUXURY TO HAVE VACCINES-WHY THE PROTEST??

 #GetvaccinatedAsap

Vaccines save lives.

So protesters against masks and vaccines will want first hand care if sick.

They are a cult! They have misguided information. They need to get a job and be off the streets.

They need to leave healthcare professionals alone.

The fourth wave is being led by antivaxxers who are filling up our hospitals.

There are places on earth where there are scanty amounts of vaccines available.

What a luxury for Canadians to have first class medical care!

So get vaccinated as soon as possible!!

20 YEARS LATER-REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11TH

 There is not much I can say.

There is so much media footage.

A new documentary.

A musical- Come From Away.

To reflect individually has more meaning.

So write your own thoughts and reflect.

Purple. A colour of healing.
