Barbara and I couldn't be busier. I care for grandkids before and after school and other assorted times. Barbara is serving as a State Representative in Jefferson City, usually four days a week, and when she's home, she joins in active grandparenting. She has been known to tutor one of our grandchildren over FaceTime in the evening from Jefferson City. We did some traveling in 2021, going to Mexico in the summer, a delayed retirement celebration trip for Barbara to Italy in the fall, and visiting our daughter and grands in Oregon in December. We both got mild cases of COVID in December, but thank the Lord, no problems there. Peace, everyone.
