It’s been a year……

It’s been a year, since my last post. It’s been a year since our lives were turned upside down…. And while 2020 started out with the January that seemed to last 6 months, followed by February that was like 6 days long…..then came March. When all hell broke loose. Technically it started with a bat in December 2019, but March...
