After a week that seemed like a week in March, weather wise, it is getting more like it should be in May. Our yard is still squishy from all the rain, but it is supposed to be a little drier this next week. South Carolina, like most other states is opening things up a bit more. Jan and I went out eat at a restaurant last night for the first time in over two months. This morning we ventured out to a local coffee shop for coffee and a pastry. Both places seem to be doing a good job of being very careful with things, and I don’t think we were in any danger. It will be interesting to see if the changes the restaurants and other public places have made will carry on to some degree after this is over. Whenever that may be. It’s Memorial Day weekend, when we here in the US honor the sacrifices made by those who died serving our country. Regardless of how you may feel about military service, I think it is good to respect the those who felt bound to serve and who died doing so.
