Hey, Karen, I'm so glad about the masks and the fact that you do NOT have to go speak at a public meeting. I ran for my local city council once and civic meetings are brutal. Especially just lately. I homeschooled last year but the kids are going back this fall and, like you, I'm hoping the district chooses mask-wearing.

And congrats on the senior son! That's exciting.

I hope the best for both of us. You're a writer--you got any book ideas in you? Or other publications for which you write? Keep me posted so I can read anything you're writing too--
