It was a tough year last year and thus we are happy to see it passed.  The COVID 19 pandemic is definitely the worst thing we ever experienced.  For California, it all started on Friday 3/13/2020 when everything shut down.  Stuart had already began working from home then, and the boys joined him to stay home for distance learning.  California later dealt with some of worst wildfires that led to poor air quality for weeks; we ended up stuck indoors only and could not do any outdoor exercises.  Later we had some of the hottest days and we even lost power for days.  That was a tough summer.

     Outside of California, there were also other horrible things that happened, like the situation in Hong Kong, the police brutality led to Black Lives Matter protests, and some crazy things led by our president.  Fortunately after days of worrying, the election result was what we were hoping for.  There is hopes in 2021.

    We did have a few things we are thankful for in 2020.  We, along with our extended families, have been staying safe, Stuart and I both have our jobs, the boys are doing fine staying at home, and Buddy is happy to have us home with him.  We are definitely looking forward to a safer and healthy 2021!
