With COVID persisting and another year of no art shows, we relied again on visitors to the studio store. Luckily, before Omicron reared its ugly head, our village organized a Winter Sale for a number of vendors in the general area, where people could travel to various artists in a local circuit on one particular day for a physically distanced shopping experience.
Overall the day went well, and the weather was mercifully pleasant for early December. We also let another vendor use our garage, in a win-win for vendors and customers, who could then patronize two vendors in one stop. A bit muddy perhaps, but otherwise a good day!
We also continued to travel to Tillsonburg as often as possible, to work on the empty house and help John get the place ready to sell. On one particular early morning departure, we were even favoured with a glorious sunrise over Lake Erie to escort us eastward.
Dave was gradually adjusting to life in assisted living, and celebrated his 84th birthday in his new surroundings. We hadn't been able to visit as often as we would have liked, as we were forced to choose between visits or working on the house.....but the holidays were approaching and we had high hopes for a festive get-together.
