This card was made by Ellen - thank you my sweetheart!
We have been having a stretch of really cold weather and it has kept me indoors by the fire. We went out briefly this afternoon to return a paper shredder that we had borrowed from John and get some dried mullein leaf from him that I need for mullein/coltsfoot tea. The Brattleboro Coop was totally out of mullein. It's good for lungs. We got a brief glimpse of John and Cynthia at their place. We hadn't actually seen them for some time. So that was great. On our way back from their house we stopped at Allen Brothers hoping to get cider doughnuts, but they were out. We settled for a piece of pizza and a little dessert.
A bit ago we had an hour Zoom session with Katie and Savanna and got caught up on their news. It's great that we can at least do that!
Soon we will get our first vaccine shots - Ellen next Monday and me the following Tuesday. I am also slated to get shoulder X-rays next week - my shoulders are very painful and Dr. Brickley wants to see what's going on. It's wonderful to think he might be able to help.
Tomorrow is GCC "Vurch" and then Torah Study. The passage is Exodus 25-27 - the building of the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant. Very detailed descriptions! The Mormons take those passages very seriously and have built replicas. Judging from YouTube, there is at least one Jewish replica in Israel as well. It will be interesting to see what kind of discussion these passages produce.
We are enjoying watching a Netflix series called Anne with an "E" - a new version of Anne of Green Gables. It is very well done.
We watched, or listened on the radio to, the Impeachment Trial. Pretty much all of it. We are political junkies. The acquittal of Trump by the Republicans was expected but incredibly sad. And then Mitch McConnell gave a speech which excoriated Trump as much or even more than the House Democratic Managers had done - but he voted to acquit! On grounds that Trump could not be impeached after leaving office. After the Senate voted that he could be! It's maddening!
