2022, wow what difference 2 years make

I have not posted for a couple years, since January 2020.  We all know 2 months later COVID hit and life had never been the same.  My wife and I went on a Christian marriage cruise in February 2020 and that was the first time I had my temperature taken due to COVID.  COVID had not hit the USA until March however it was in China in Jan/Feb.  Our cruise had sent an email saying no one from China or who had traveled to China would be allowed on the cruise.  Then in March things started shutting down.  Cruises, NCAA basketball tournament, schools and even churches.  The shutdowns were unprecedented in my lifetime.  Life changed having I wear masks, events shut down, public events cancelled and eating out was not allowed for awhile.  Now 2 years later things are getting back to normal but not like before COVID.  I have heard recently that China is shutting down things again due to another COVID outbreak.  I am hoping that doesn’t happen here.  A lot of changes have taken place in my life since January 2020.  My oldest daughter got married, my oldest son moved off to college(though he is only 45 minutes away), had a grandparent pass away.  Right now there is a war in Ukraine started by Russia.  Hopefully that will end soon.  It will take years for Ukraine to recover from that.  I will write more later.  I just wanted to post to say I am still out here.
