I’m taking it a bit easy as I recover from Covid, but I wanted to show you how things have looked around here lately. The photos are mostly from my routine walks along the road by the golf course. Sometimes I take golf course pictures and send them to Lynn in Florida, where she can play all year. I love the long early-morning shadows. Soon the hills and sand traps will be covered in snow.
The other photos include samples of fall color that came late this year, the foggy river, wet leaves, a last nasturtium, and feathery grasses.
Erik’s mom sent the last picture. She, too, has moved into a retirement place, but in Sweden. The photo shows her lifting a glass with other residents celebrating their 80th year. Don’t you love the looms?

Lovely photos, and I do hope you recover quickly! 🤗
Thank you kindly, Tiffany. I had three terrible days and then did start to recover. Communal living is the culprit. During the pandemic, we swore we would never risk a retirement community. Ha!
Loved your few pictures! And, yes, And, yes, the looms. Turning 80 turned a corner for me after two years feeling I was living pain and endings, I am now free of all that and feel as full of life and joy and empowerment as all these women look to be. Hope for coffee and catch-up early in the coming year. xo Meredith
Hope to see you, too. And I noticed also how with-it the women in that photo look. Erik’s mother says In Sweden the residents actually run the place.
Hope you are on the mend, dear friend. I just had my 78th birthday on December 7. Remember our birthday parties?? We were just babies!! Merry Christmas.

Well, Happy Birthday! I am much better. I had several bad days, but I think the vaccinations are what shortened the duration.
