Glenn & I celebrated the ending of 2021 at PCB.
~~~ blue skies & white sands ~~~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In 2020 with the Covid-19 virus running rampant, we could not justify our spending a week at PCB celebrating the end of a year with others as we had in past years. We had already seen within the year businesses closing, "sheltering-at-home" and "mask" mandates, virus cases rising and reports of a vaccine in the works later in the year.
Both Glenn & I learned of family/friends/neighbors diagnosed with Covid-19. Sadly, some of them passed away in 2020 and 2021.
At the end of 2020 and the start of 2021 several companies began delivering their developed vaccines. We received our first vaccine on February 8th and our second vaccine on March 1st at SE Health drive through clinic. (We received our booster on September 27th.)
Today, both Glenn & I practice mask-wearing when grocery shopping and within gatherings where we know several unvaccinated ones will be attendance. It's hard...I won't lie.
I have a few friends who are unvaccinated. We respect each other and our boundaries we have set.
So, with 2021 coming to an end and after prayer we decided to pack the car for a week at PCB for our "after Christmas" tradition. We came, enjoyed cooked meals, walks on the beach, reading/computer puzzles and just relaxing. We enjoyed us.

Our walks on the beach and
my "pic" under the pier
After a couple of months of not walking (lazy as I was),
Pier Park became my walking path each morning.
This is a pic of the 10,000 beach balls
that were dropped onto the street for the kids

The balcony was my special place...
...and Glenn enjoyed the couch.
We had some great views
of The Gulf and blue skies.
New Year's Eve brought a couple of friends to the condo.
Even though it was foggy outside we could hear and
see just a little bit of the fireworks. And yes,
unusual colors lit up the skies.
*** HAPPY 2022 Y'ALL ***
