September 24, 2020 . . .

I was wrong to personally open up, just yet. The daily new case count in Ontario has gone up, and up, and up. This week we were greeted with over 300 at the beginning of the week and over 400 at the end. It got so bad that Ontario’s Premier, Ford, reset the maximum numbers that people can gather to 10 and 25 from 50 indoors and 100 outside. The hot spots continue to be Peel, Toronto and Ottawa, and the local health authority has recommended that we should avoid social gatherings altogether. When is Covid-19 just going to go away?
Inge and I were planning to drive up to see our (Eastern) Son, Steve and his girlfriend, Andréa, a couple of weeks from now. Now, with the latest news from the health folks, I don’t know if we’ll make it or not. I vote for postponing the visit, but I don’t know if it will work out that way. I do know one thing. Nobody wants to go back to a full lockdown, like we had this spring. Finally, with the daily case count going really high, Inge called Steve and postponed the trip until the spring.
Now it looks like the kids are coming to see us. So, it also looks like we are going to get together for Thanksgiving after all!  It will be different, but that’s OK!
last night, there was a special on TV where all the leaders of the federal political parties spoke. That was different! Oh well, Indian Summer is here, fall is coming and winter is not far behind. The second Wave is here, We’re in it for the long haul . . .
Please be careful . . .
Stay safe, stay well, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
