The first shot

April 18, 2021April 15, 2021 aka gringita

The appointment

April 13, 2021April 9, 2021 aka gringita

I’d joked that since I don’t have a doctor – and therefore I don’t know if I have any get-it-faster health issues – I’d probably end up last in line for the vaccine.

Final push to the finish

April 10, 2021April 6, 2021 aka gringita

Giving the guys a small break

April 8, 2021April 6, 2021 aka gringita

Broken things

April 7, 2021April 6, 2021 aka gringita

The window crack we discovered in the fall. I started making phone calls about it, but not finding someone to fix or replace it. And then a busy fall, winter began, and travel and travel, and then… pandemic.
