#322 - Don't Like Lifting the Mask Mandates

Texas First

I was furious when the governor announced opening TX and lifting the mask mandate. It looks Alabama will lift theirs on my birthday.

"We should have a choice!" is what many say. The people who say that... how many of them will choose to wear masks? This is different than seatbelt laws, that some still fight. My mask keeps YOU and me safe! And Texas is lifting the mandate, as it reopens 100%.  

In Oregon

But we are still in Oregon. So I'm not going to think about it right now.

This is the window of the cafe, where we picked up carryouts. Things are a little different here.

When we went on a walk with Heidi and Baby Charlotte, I had to smile at this Masked Moai!

We wore our masks as we walked in Laurel Hurst Park. Everyone we passed wore masks. We don't have to mask up when outside. But just like the RBG image in the store window... it shows respect for those we pass on the walk.

​Trees

We have less than 2 more weeks of Oregon.

I'll miss the trees. I'll miss being in an area where most seem to respect pandemic courtesy. 

But mostly, I'll miss this little one and her parents!

Stop in California

Don and I don't know what our options will be for vaccines when we return to Texas. We at least know how to "road-trip" safely. We've had practice.

We'll be making a stop in Sacramento to see Scott and Chali. No worries about those 2 not taking this pandemic seriously. This is what you see on the wall, when you enter their home.

I'm so grateful to have family that's in agreement, about keeping each other safe.
