You know you’ve been together a long time when…

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours, of course, was quiet, although we did manage to have a full family Zoom call, albeit a poor substitute for enjoying the day together. We did not have turkey but we had all the side dishes, including “stuffing” (made with challah, almonds, walnuts, celery, and vegetable stock), sweet potatoes mashed with maple syrup and a little sour cream, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.

And speaking of being together, Barry and I now seem to be sharing dreams. He often has, and more importantly, remembers rather vivid dreams. I, on the other hand, rarely seem to remember whatever dreams I may have had. But for some reason on Friday night we both dreamt, and both of our dreams related to the same thing: travel. Despite travelling relatively infrequently over the years, Barry has had some trips that were definitely the stuff of nightmares. This time, he dreamt of struggling to finish packing and arranging a ride to the airport, and then missing a flight that, unbeknownst to him, had been rescheduled. I, unfortunately, cannot remember the details of my dream but I know it had to do with travel.

I wonder how much this has to do with the impending approval of vaccine(s) that may enable us to travel again in the foreseeable future. Of course, we recognize that it will still be some time before we and our extended family are actually able to be vaccinated, but at least it is seeming within the realm of possibility.

Meanwhile, stay safe and healthy. We keep trying to do the same.

Love,

Rebecca
