Morning all.
If you didn't see yesterday - we are pigless. Miss Lemonade went over the Rainbrow Bridge yesterday afternoon. At least she made it through holiday break with Javi. He went back to school yesterday, having to say goodbye.

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I fear that history will judge how we handled the pandemic very harshly. Many who died would have lived if we, as a nation and a world, acted with better judgment.
I have online planning sessions but I am still under COVID-19 isolation. (I am not feeling too badly.)
Also, my heart goes out to the families and friends of those who lost loved ones in the fire in the Bronx. This is a tragedy.

One would hope that history will be a little more discerning than to judge the entire population by the horrible actions of a few.
