Every November, I get a reminder email from my eldest niece, Katie, that it is time to send in family pictures for her annual calendar. So, I searched my 2020 photo file and had a very interesting view in pictures of this year.
This year has had its challenges. Covid came in January to China, soon it spread to Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. People all of the world were catching Covid and were getting deathly ill, and many, many people died. Hospitals were over whelmed, toilet paper was a luxury item, and people started to wear masks. Soon, there were warnings to seniors not to go out....except to the doctors office or to shop for food.
Soon restaurants closed, and many went bankrupt. People in massive numbers lost their jobs, people zoomed from their computers to work. People were afraid. Then the police started to use more force than necessary and started shooting first and asking questions second.
Riots came to big cities. Nothing had any pleasure. Art museums closed, theatres closed, and bars shut their doors. Many venues opened out door seating. It was safer outdoors and six feet apart.
So, being a nice aunti, I spent three hours going through all of my photographs from 2020. I take alot of photos. Nature, Old Tv shows, history shows and nature shows.
The pictures mostly were of my walks around my wooded neighborhood with an old ice pond.
Lots of preserved land, hikes, and open nature.
Watching this many pictures was somewhat like watching a video of last year. Highlights, Jackson NH
Low periods of self isolation watching old movies, sewing, and reading. I listed to alot of cds from jazz to classical.
I was able to find three pictures of Glenn, two pictures of me, and one picture of our cat Miss Becky.
So within the next two months, we will receive a huge new family calendar. Usually, I cut out pictures of family that I want to keep from the calendar, copy family important dates and then I toss the calendar and buy a smaller wall one with nice pictures.
