I've got the blues
Everyday in the news
I've got the covid blues
People moving around
From place to place
Every one a stranger
You can't see a face
And not just a few
It's the whole human race
Are you on the list
Do you have a pass
To visit a loved one
Behind a panel of glass
So many rules
It's a pain in the ass
I've got the blues
I've got the blues
So much to lose
With the covid blues
A party of five
That's all it can be
That's only three others
Beside you and me
How do you choose
Who will it be
Physical distance
And a mask is the way
To keep people safe
From the numbers each day
When will it end
No one can say
I've got the blues
I've got the blues
Everyday in the news
I've got the covid blues
Stay safe
Loved

๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEANIE!๐
๐Well, there is nothing blue about this first Monday in December๐. Early this morning, ๐ปGoogle surprised David by singing the birthday song to him๐ถ. Right away, we thought of you and said, “this song is for Deanie, too๐ฉ๐ป๐ฆฑ.” Oh happy day๐!
๐กEven in these times of social distancing, we are sure your loving family will do all they can to celebrate YOU today๐. We join them and so many others ๐ in wishing you all the fun you can pack into this particular moment๐, plenty of joy in the week to follow๐, and heaps of happiness throughout the year ahead of you๐.
๐Congratulations on your 69th birthday. With Google’s delightful greeting still on our minds๐ฃ, we will make today’s celebratory toast a double for twice the enjoyment on this shared occasion.๐ท๐ท Cheers!
๐Lots of love,

Thank you so much for the birthday greeting from so far away. Yesterday Holly and Beata came over and set up my Christmas village. Each year for my birthday she hand paints a piece of white ceramic for the village. This year it was a Hobby and Craft shop. This is the 30th year she has done it so there are 30 different buildings. Later on Lui, Ellie and Jamie came over with 3 pointsetta plants. We had to visit outside because our group gatherings are limited to 5 here right now. Thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day. Today I am having lunch with 2 of my oldest friends then off to the hair salon. Happy birthday Dave. Have a great day. You deserve it!!!
Ed is going to email you a picture if my village.
Love you and stay safe������������
๐You are very welcome, Deanie. Thanks for telling us about the family gatherings and gifts๐๐. We will look forward to seeing your Christmas Village๐. Several years have passed since we saw that festive town๐. It will have grown quite a bit since then๐.
Have fun with your friends ๐ญ and enjoy having your hair done. ๐๐ป♀️ What a nice birthday you are having๐!

Dear Loved,
Well, you may be singing the COVID Blues, but your song had the opposite effect on me. It made my day. So clever and funny. Thanks for injecting some humor into this awful pandemic.
Thanks,

๐ฅHAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALAN๐!
๐Your forty-second birthday seems to have come around very quickly in our lives๐ก. Of course, we have aged by the same number of years ourselves ๐ต๐ด and are finding that the older we get, the faster time goes⏳. Still, we have to admit that 42 looks good on you๐ง๐ป.
๐We have already greeted you over on Facebook today. ๐ฎWe also mailed your birthday card in plenty of time fior us to be part of your birthday celebration with Melissa, Bjorn and Sarafina๐ฉ๐ง๐ฆ. You will probably be taking things easy following your December 9th knee surgery ๐ฆต๐ฝand the focus will definitely be on you as everyone helps out in the recovery process๐จ๐ฝ๐ฆฏ.
๐๐ป♂️Enjoy all the attention coming your way today, Alan๐. You deserve every bit of it.๐ท๐ท

Bob says:
Hi Louise and David,
Thank you for the great birthday greetings
80 is the new 60! LOL
Love you both,
Bob
๐๐ป♂️You are welcome, Bob.
๐๐ฝ♂️We’d like to believe that 80 is the new 60.
๐ฅIt sure looks like it is in your case.
๐ฎWhat’s your secret?
I think his secret is good genes.
He says I am the reason. LOL
I don't think so............I think I'm the one who gave him grey hair! ๐ด๐ป
Love,
ME
xoxoxoxo
๐♀️I think you and Bob are both right, Mary Ellen๐ฎ. Bob’s secret is probably a combination his good genes๐งฌ and YOU๐ง๐ฆณ. I’m not convinced that the same is true when it comes to his greying hair๐จ๐ป๐ฆณ. LOL๐๐

๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LINDSEY๐!
๐Greetings from us in St. Andrews on your thirty-ninth birthday๐. The comedian, Jack Benny is said to have stopped counting birthdays beyond his 39th celebration๐ฅ Though he lived to be 80, he liked being “forever 39”๐๐ป♂️. It was his way of staying “forever young”๐บ.
๐With Christmas just two days away, we turn our thoughts to you on your December 23rd birthday๐. We join Patrick and Carter๐จ๐ฆ, other family members๐ and your many friends๐ in wishing you a day that is as special as you are to each and every one of them๐ธ๐ป. It’s hard to imagine a day that could begin to match your beauty, grace and kindness๐.
Still, Lindsey, we hope your birthday celebration comes as close as possible to suiting you just fine at 39.๐ก Cheers!๐ท๐ท
