Easter Blessings

Easter Sunday 2021! Mom is vaccinated (Pfizer); Ethan, Chad and Tom got on the Moderna train; and Scotty and I got the J&J one-shooter.  

THEREFORE - we were able to enjoy a nice Easter dinner together (made Coconut Cream Pie - Grandma McCann's recipe) and then sit outside for about three hours to visit and enjoy the sunshine! It was a great afternoon! 

I feel very fortunate that we all made it this far without a COVID diagnosis and were able to get vaccinated. If there is one reason to get the COVID vaccine it is to protect those people who are vulnerable... like mom - an 82 year old cancer patient with a weakened immune system. I know that we aren't all out of the woods yet...I'm still wearing a mask when I go out and using hand sanitizer, etc. but there is a little less worry in the air now that mom has a boost in her immune system with the vaccine. 

The month of March marked 12 years since mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. Her doctor checkups have been good and there has been nothing of concern. Easter is a time of miracles and mom is nothing less than a miracle. 

There aren't big plans on the horizon for right now - we are looking forward to Aunt Carol's memorial service in May and making a visit to the farm to spread the ashes. I think we need to get through more of the Pandemic before planning some travels, but at the very least we are able to get together and she can visit with her grandsons again. That is what grandma's live for!
