As my last post indicated, I was optimistically feeling that there was hope that the pandemic was winding down.

But today it was announced that the 2021 Evart festival has been cancelled because there’s a feeling that things won’t be sufficiently protected to allow crowds to gather. Afterall the under 65 year olds haven’t started to be vaccinated and that’ll take many months.

Maybe my friends Pat and Connie will be able to join me for games of Mexican Train Dominoes by the end of March when we’re all protected by our inoculations. I know it’s not going to be 100% but maybe close enough to risk it. We’ll read the reports.

It’s strange… You get your hopes up, and then they are dashed. I just hope we’ll gradually feel comfortable with others around us. I know this lifestyle isn’t normal.
