Currently there have been over 57,600 recorded cases in Oregon and over 700 deaths due to the cornavirus disease.
Douglas County is considered to be a part of
the Red zone. As of tomorrow to at least January 22 all students attending Roseburg
schools will have to do so online except for K-3. Apparently they are to remain in school until
the authorities learn that it was probably never a good idea to do that in the
first place. I don’t know about the other surrounding cities, but the two
school districts within the area in which I live seem to be in full operation
right now and will continue . . . or so is the plan. I think they should keep it safe by following
along what Roseburg is doing instead of chancing that things my get work –
which I expect they will. Students get
sick at this time of the year without COVID.
And then there’s Thanksgiving coming up. Seminary is still going. All in person learning as far as I can tell.
2020 may have cancelled a lot in the way of
holidays, birthdays, graduations, and other events. LOTS of events missed or celebrated
virtually, dates moved around - for
example my cousin celebrated Thanksgiving outdoors – spaced out tables. They had the event on a really nice day in
October. I believe there’s snow on the
ground right now where she is. We have
rain her. Lots of heavy rain. Falling.

Bonnie doesn’t like the rain. She mopes around longing to bask in the
sun. We’ll give her a bone toy for her
to chew and entertain her. It’s her mama’s
birthday today. We haven’t seen her
since she went to Salem over two months ago.
I bet she’s missing Bonnie.
What an odd century 2020 has been. Brought out a lot of creativity with some. For that I am grateful.
