A few friends getting together to exercise. That was my experience this morning. Very different from teaching structured fitness classes, but wonderful just the same.
Last night my small group from church got together to converse and pray. It’s my fifth year with this group and I think of them all as family.
I get together with other friends and we go for walks or go to restaurants. In downtown Leavenworth Front Street is closed to vehicular traffic. Tables for outdoor dining line the street instead.
The library is reopening in a couple of weeks. I’ve missed book club and craft activities and wonder when these will resume.
The senior center is still closed. I miss lunches with friends and volunteering in the kitchen. I miss our bridge games and our music nights.
Church has now gone back to two services instead of one to accommodate more people. Masks and physical distancing are mandatory. Seats must be reserved online.
Tree lighting event has been cancelled although the trees will be lit up as usual during the holiday season. Village Voices will not be performing at any concerts.
With Octoberfest cancelled the last few weekends have been relatively quiet here in Leavenworth. There are also no big events planned for Halloween.
The new normal does not feel normal at all.
