A week of good, bad and ugly.

June 26. A date with many memories.

First, the Ugly. It was the date that Joseph died, one year ago.

Such a loss, the family will never be the same. 

The Bad. I was talking to my brother John, and he reminded me at June 26, 1982 was the day he had the motorcycle accident that changed his life. He was on a big Harley, and another driver didn't see him and hit him. He had a T12-L1 fracture that put him in a turtle shell cast for a year, and left him with weakness in one leg. He didn't walk for that year. But he had an amazing recovery, and we're lucky to still have him with us.

Also Bad. Our Aunt Bet died on June 26, 2010. She'd been ill for years in a nursing home.

The Good. Amanda and Ben got married on June 26, 2010. It was a beautiful wedding, in a park. We all had a lovely time, and welcomed Ben into the family.

In other news, we have a new roof!

It was a good experience. About 8 guys the first day to do the teardown. 32 sheets of plywood needed to be replaced! 5 guys the second day, and they finished by noon. It's guaranteed for 50 years!

Progress continues on Wings. It will go to Mike and Donna, in memory of Joseph. 

In Covid 19 news, Jersey, New York and CT are in good shape, due to our governor's taking science based actions to limit the spread. Other states who's governors put the economy above the lives to their citizens, are doing terrible. And the Feds are pretending it doesn't exist anymore, which is a disgrace. 

How ridiculous is it that wearing a mask has become a political statement. I'm not embarrassed to say that Covid scare me, a lot.
