In PA, our Governor is still mandating masks at all times, even outdoors. The virus is on the rise again here, so that's why. It's sensible to wear them until virus cases drop. It's really killing the local economy. Restaurants are hurting, movie theaters are closed until further notice, and schools are doing part-time classes on alternating days. Lots of local colleges which did open are shutting down again and sending students home. Many small businesses have closed permanently. So sad. 🙁🙏

Emma wrote: "Well, that's good at least, that they care about medical conditions."Yeah, at first I was concerned because they didn't say anything about medical conditions...they just said they would be requiring masks for everyone. And in the meantime, they're remodeling the store, so everything is getting moved around, which means we have to spend more time in the store trying to find the things we need. Not fun with a mask on!

Yeah, it's never fun with a mask on. 😒 The place we absolutely have to wear one is our library, so we just try to be fast. 😂
Hi Emma, OH! MY GOSH!
I did the exact same thing today!
Only without the blunder.
In fact, the teller who helped me is named
Edgar. I thought
*Count it on Meg and Emma to send me
a N.E.L. author.*😄

Hi Dorothy, So what debate is on tap today?
Ruth wrote: "Hi Dorothy, So what debate is on tap today?"
I actually do not think we're debating anything today. I think we're in agreeable moods...unless I'm forgetting something, and if I am, Emma or Meg will remind me!
