WHERE DID AMELIA GO? Homeward Bound…

Spring, At Home, Summer

 

It seems almost surreal that less than two weeks ago I woke up in a world which seemed very “normal” to me where I could walk into an indie bookstore or go out to eat or even just hug my Taekwondo students.

Now my world consists of temperature checks, face masks, and latex gloves. New words like “social distancing” and “COVID-19” are now added to my daily vocabulary and I’ve shed more tears in the past few weeks than I have in the past two decades. 

Amelia, on the other hand, has been quite the traveler these past few weeks…flitting around like a butterfly from flower to flower…until she heard the call to “stay at home”. Imagine my surprise to step inside my house this week to the sound of Aerosmith rocking out from my study and finding a certain someone in my favorite rocker. Apparently she plans on staying awhile…

    I’m so glad Amelia decided to do some social distancing. She has found some great stories to share, and I bet she’ll find some online too.

    I was worried about her. I bet her foreign friends told her she should go home so you wouldn’t worry. She must have flown because the cruise ships are a bit iffy right now. You know she cleaned up and wiped down and all the other things needed to be done to be safe.

      Lol, I worry enough for the safety of my son without having to worry about Amelia as well. And yes, she knows I won’t let her come anywhere near me until she’s washed her paws for at least twenty seconds…’-)

      Thanks for stopping by and come back any time!
