Long before the CDC no-travel recommendation

Nick and Valerie had a weekend planned in Laughlin Nevada, just to blow off some Covid steam. We volunteered to Moose sit their pup, as long as they were willing to come for an early Thanksgiving dinner, masked and outside on our patio. Karen decided to try her hand at flying in this strange time – the plane she was on had nobody sitting in the middle seats, and the terminals were virtual ghost towns. Our traditional turkey dinner was a success, and as far as we can tell, no Covid transmission occurred. This was a week before all hell broke loose on the virus front, and the CDC recommended no travel or gathering for family Thanksgiving dinner. We would have sadly complied had that recommendation had it come out before our gathering. Check out who is the only one actually masked!


We had hoped for a bit more interaction, however, one of the roommates of a friend Nick and Val visited had a nasty cough. So, that ended our interactions with Nick and Val for this visit – luckily that didn’t happen before dinner. We still did some hiking with Karen as she had not interacted with Nick after his sketchy exposure. It’s sad that our ability to interact with loved ones is dictated by the uncertainty caused by Coronavirus – dang!

We hope to be talking to you soon.
