The summer is over and, looking back, we didn’t do many of the things we normally do here at the lake. We didn’t have indoor get togethers – this year we kayaked on the lake instead because that was an outdoor activity that naturally kept us appropriately distanced. We didn’t play card games or work on puzzles together, but we took hikes and kept our distances there too. At the beginning of the summer, everyone was cautious and wondering if being here together was possible - the alternative activities we came up with were creative and safe: just because we couldn’t do some things that weren’t naturally safe forced us to find others that were. We didn’t take unnecessary risks, but we still had fun. I see that this past weekend there were lots of large gatherings around the country: the worst of them were massive parties without any precautions while the best included appropriate masks and distancing. It’s not that difficult to find appropriate solutions when we all put our heads together. Whether it’s summer fun or being back in school or at work, we are all in control of the things we can and can’t do; think safe, play safe, and be safe. That’s the best we can do today.
