12. Masks haven't slowed down...

my two grandchildren at all. There are times when I wish they would slow down a bit, but I'm so happy they're healthy and will listen to their parents and grandparents.

We all set good examples, of course, and we wear masks whenever we're in public places.

That said, we'll all give a big sigh of relief when they're able to be vaccinated. They're 9 and 7 years old, and when their small bodies have some sort of protection from this damned virus we'll all be a lot happier. 🙂
