Month of April 2022

Covid - YUK. Peter and I both had Covid, but, fortunately, the symptoms were mild. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, I came down with the Flu. This was MUCH worse than Covid. I had a horrible cough for 2 -3 weeks, until I finally felt better. YUK.

Apr 17 - we really needed to get out and about, so we decided to try a Rail trail in Holden that we had walked once before. However, this time, we walked a different route, and it was so windy and thus cold, that we ended up cutting our walk very short. Oh well. It did get us out of the house.

Apr 22 - on a trip home from the Amherst area, it was a beautiful day and we decided to stop at the Quabin Reservoir and walk across the dam and over to the spillway. Great long walk. Then, we took the scenic Route 9 home, instead of the MA Pike, and had dinner at the Castle Restaurant. It used to be OK, with the location right on a lake making up for the menu. However, since we were there last, they changed owners and now it is a Tappas restaurant. Not much for me to eat, and it wasn't very good. Great building, though. And, dinner was on the Accounting firm that Peter and I worked for during tax season. So. Yeh!

Apr 23 - Getting new phones. My phone started acting up, and all of us on our Verizon cell phone plan were due for upgrades. So, Peter, Claire and I all went into the Verizon store and bought new cell phones, then spent a couple of hours getting them set up. What a pain, but glad to have a new, working phone.

Apr 29 - spring is here. Pretty flowers from our daily 2 mile walk.

Apr 30 - Another beautiful spring day, and my need to get out and about in nature. So we drove over to the Hopkinton State Park for our daily walk.
