If you've been reading along all these years, you've figured out that I'm on the precipice of my half-century mark. For the non math majors out there, that also means that my parents are approaching that age where they may need a bit of help from time to time. Whether it's to open that persnickety jar of pickles or simply being "there" when one of them recovers from surgery or an illness, pitching in as they enter their twilight is simply part of the deal. I'm often reminded (by my older brother, no less) that they DID house, feed, clothe and care for us for the better part of 18 years. The least we can do is offer our support for a few years now.

My, my, my....how things feel very different, on so many levels right now. From how we socialize, work, and carry on in our day to day life.

Let's all put our patience hats on (along with our masks!) and continue being careful. We'll get through this. Support your friends, family and neighbors. Check in on your extroverted friends (we introverts are in heaven!). And keep focus on the welfare of others, not just yourself. Go team!
Sorry. I've been reading more news than normal lately (which is typically none!). Tends to get me all fired up and want to spread good news instead of all the ick. Last week we talked about the market beginning to heat up and this week we're going to stay on that wave. There's lots of good news for sellers this week so let's get rolling.
