I am glad we have such strong distancing/occupancy rules in place at the museums, it makes for a much more pleasant visit.<br />We have been watching with dismay as your covid numbers rise. It is infuriating that these selfish covidiots are ruining it for the rest of you. Funny, we have opened the border to US visitors and yet the US hasn't opened their side to us.Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-46303008114911221832021-08-22T12:28:24.366-04:002021-08-22T12:28:24.366-04:00Thank you for your kind comments!

I'm especially taken with the Beyond Monet exhibit. I'd love to see it. Honestly, I'd love to see any sort of art right now. It's been so long since I dared to go into a museum. Thank goodness for your blog!<br /><br />I don't think I'll be able to read Shuggie Bain. I've had trouble with books before that were written in dialect. I'm glad you are enjoying it so much, though. <br /><br />It's fabulous that you found a great spot to eat Indian food. With the huge upsurge of Covid here, we've settled back into a stay-at-home/outdoors/virtual existence again.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-83767528410670191312021-08-22T11:19:51.503-04:002021-08-22T11:19:51.503-04:00I enjoy and look forward to your weekly posts, the...I enjoy and look forward to your weekly posts, they have become one of my favorites.

We've got 1900 Island (similar PBS show) on our list. Ha on the Monet venue, but phew that you made it in time for the right place. The exhibit looks stunning. Love the photo of the sailing ship and the timberframe pavilion. We've been self-isolating again as our numbers start to rise again.
