2020 was a year none of us will ever forget. We were all eager for it to end and a new year to begin. I only wrote 104 posts in 2020 - the lowest number since I began blogging in 2012. With the lengthy quarantine, blogging activities were limited. But in spite of the pandemic and all the social and political unrest, there were still some happy memories. Pour yourself a cup of tea while I review the year from my perspective.
January - I took my sweet granddaughter, Ellie, to Afternoon Tea at Tea Party Castle
February - I celebrated my birthday with a co-worker at The Whitney
And Valentine's Day with my two adorable great-granddaughters, Evie and Juliette
March - Three grandchildren surprised us with a COVID quarantine poster on the front porch
April - Not even COVID could prevent us from celebrating Easter and our Risen Lord!
May - My first Zoom Tea Party with the Royal Park Hotel and Tea Hostess Mary Kuhn
June - A long overdue tea outing to St. Sabbas Russian Orthodox Monastery Tea House
July - The Pink House Tea Room in New Baltimore
And a two week trip out west to North and South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. We traveled 4,655 miles and made memories to last a lifetime with son, Jeremy, and his family.
August - My sweet daughter Lori's birthday.
September - First day back to work after restaurants were closed to prevent the spread of COVID. It was a brief reopening because we were soon shut down again. Facemasks became a part of daily attire.
October - First World Tea Virtual Summit and Whitney Halloween Staff Party
November - I celebrated my hubby's and grandson Landon's birthdays. 2020's Thanksgiving gathering was much smaller due to COVID. We only celebrated with our son, Steve, and his family.
December - Christmas
As the saying goes, "Out with the old, and in with the new". 2021 lies before us and we ask for God's guidance and blessing.
You had a very busy year. We really haven't left the house much since March. Unfortunately our community does not take the virus seriously. We had 84 cases in one day in our rural community last week. And two of my high school classmates passed from covid the same week.
