Our daughter ended up with minimal side effects, too, and now we're having discussions about what we feel comfortable doing. A trip to the bookstore is on my list for Saturday and I've scheduled a haircut. We'll eat outdoors at a restaurant, but no indoor dining yet. So glad your family is also on the road to full immunity.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-23872027173003817022021-04-23T08:32:00.556-04:002021-04-23T08:32:00.556-04:00Tina - Hopefully you will get to see you son/grand...Tina - Hopefully you will get to see you son/granddaughter soon now.

One kid had a J&J a couple of weeks ago, the other was supposed to get it Monday but was postponed and will get an alternate vaccination on Friday, probably Moderna. It's such a relief and I'm actually thinking about things I might even consider doing now.

It's been 3 years since we set eyes on Tristan and our granddaughter is now 7.

I just made a risotto with asparagus and love the combo of starch with asparagus. We haven't had triple tail in agaes but when we both worked at FDLE there was a guy who brought us FRESH caught triple tail and I traded with homemade bread.
