Cancelled.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip to the States this week. The numbers there are just climbing like crazy, and they don't seem to be slowing down. I am sure the holiday weekend won't help things. There are several risks and complications, but our main concern is that if we were to go, the EU wouldn't let us back in as they might shut down the flights entirely. Depressing, but at least we will be able to enjoy more of our tomatoes if the slugs don't get to them first!

Claire was able to make it up here for a visit. She is freezing. No, we don't turn on the heat in July! Great that at least this level of travel is possible again! She will stay with us for a week, until Friday. A working holiday. We might be able to go down to stay with them later this summer. We shall see how our plans turn out. Naomi also wants to go to France.

Yesterday we had a nice Fourth of July celebration. Ron and Edith came and we had some great food. The corn on the cob was actually tasty! Ron was also happy with the table I made for him, and gave me another small project to work on. Abigail and I also made a game together - she drilled the holes and did some power sanding! Good to put the workshop to use again.

Ron found a piece of glass on the street and wanted a table built for it.

Abigail had so much fun playing this game at a friend's house that we made our own.
