Today was definitely a popular day for birthdays as both Parce and HM celebrated theirs. Cam told us that even his friend Samuel was celebrating his 16th as well. In a normal October some or all of us would have attended celebrations for the three of them. In the past Sam had always had a party of some sort in October and we had always attended Parce's tailgate which he and Chokey hosted in honor of their shared birthday month.
Those celebrations weren't meant to be, however, as COVID had changed everyone's party plans this year. Thankfully, Cal was still able to go to Bloomington to kick off Hannah-Marie's 21st birthday weekend celebration. There weren't as many bars open in B-Town as there were when Cal turned 21, but they did get to have a drink or two at both Brother's and The Upstairs Pub. Cal said that even with the limitations they still had a wonderful time and HM really appreciated the gifts that she received from our family especially the Baby Yoda from him. There will be a lot of changes in upcoming celebrations this year, especially with the holidays. None of us ever thought that when the stay at home order went into place in March that we would still be dealing with the coronavirus in October. As frustrating as the pandemic can make life at times, overall, we are just extremely thankful that we have all stayed healthy thus far.
