IMG_0811The last time we visited Mama in person was February 15.  A few weeks after that visit,  the governor’s executive order shut down nursing and extended care facility visiting privileges.  Those poor old folks have been living in the strange isolation of quarantine until a couple of weeks ago when the governor lifted the order.  Their comings and goings are still highly regulated, but at least family can visit in person.

So last Friday, not quite seven months since our last time to see Mama in person, we got in!  For our luncheon visit, Sarah fixed an orzo salad and got boiled crawfish soup from Champagnes.

I have realized that since my mother is 95 years old and lives 120 miles away, every visit is golden—- moreso in this bizarre season of Covid-19.
