Life activities BC

 Do you often think about what you miss the most from BC days - Before Covid? What have you missed doing the most, besides spending time with your loved ones?

My list would be long, but yesterday I feel as if another step toward normalcy occurred.  I played cards with friends - indoors without masks or hand sanitizer bottles!!  



I loved getting together every week or two with a small group of ladies to play cards for an afternoon or an evening.  Our favorite game has been Hand and Foot, which is fun and simple enough to play and talk at the same time.  Everyone brought snacks or something to contribute to a meal, and we just played cards and visited.  But because of fragile immune systems and our ages we quit playing in March.  Once summer weather arrived we did play a few times outdoors with masks and hand sanitizer, but SD wind wasn't the best for playing cards outside.  And it's been along, cold winter.  

But yesterday we got together, celebrated a couple of birthdays, and played cards indoors.  Now that we're all vaccinated, and the Covid numbers are dropping again around here we felt we could begin playing again.  We played Five Crowns and enjoyed an afternoon chat.  It was wonderful and I can't wait to do it again.  It was good for the soul. 

And on Saturday evening we are getting together with 2 other couples at one house to grill burgers and catch up.  We haven't seen each other in person for over a year!  Another sign of getting close to normal life again.

I invited a small group over on Wednesday evening to play Mexican Train dominoes. I invited those who are fully vaccinated and we had fun. We used to meet monthly to play BC.

Good for you! I enjoy cards too but my husband is not real keen on cards or bingo...I really like all kinds of games:) WE hope to get together with the neighbors one day soon to play some cards and visit. They are vaccinated too...so that helps:)
