We're careful about the pandemic. We live in a Retirement Community that has very strict rules and we rarely leave under normal circumstances. We always wear a mask, even to go for a walk outside.
We buy groceries. We pick up prescriptions and that's it...
...under normal circumstances.
But, we're antipating that when the new presidential administration ascends, more stringent regulations will be created. My sense is that Joe Biden wants to do more to curtail normal behavior among citizens than he has authority to do.
So, anticipating Big Brother's interference, we took a vacation over Thanksgiving.
Evie found a nice deal at a resort on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach, with beautiful views of the ocean and the shore.
So, we traveled down the Delmarva peninsula, checked in and quarantined ourselves, looking out at the beautiful views. The unit had a nice kitchen. We ate in, food Evie prepared beforehand and froze. On warmer days, we sat on our balcony, sniffing the sea air. A few of the days we walked on the boardwalk. It was nice. Safe.
Then we stopped off at Colonial Williamsburg on the way back and walked through the tourist area, which was mostly deserted.
It was a good time and a much needed change of scenery.
When we returned, we self-quarantined for ten days according our governor's regulations. Thankfully, we're still getting along well. The quarantine was not very stressful. The trip was very worth it.

Today, I need to fill a prescription. And, we need groceries.
I called the (Walmart) pharmacy. They suggested their version of curbside pickup. So, I set that up.
When we pick up prescriptions, we usually buy some groceries at Walmart.
So, Evie checked out curbside for groceries. We were stunned that Walmart was able to tell us what groceries we normally buy. It was convenient. But, for geezers, that's scary. We don't know how they were able to track us.
Anyway, we're doing curbside for groceries, too...
...life in the twenty first century, in a pandemic, for grazers.
