Aunt Vera's Diary - April 1st

In the summer of 2019, I was able to photograph the entries in the diary of my maternal great-aunt, Vera (Haley) Stuber.  The entries cover the years from 1968-1971 time frame and provide an interesting view of her daily activities. Items in brackets are my notes for further research.

Virtual Birthday Party

Yesterday was dad's 76th Birthday, and due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we had to celebrate in a different way - virtually.  We ended up with a video call using Facebook Messenger.  It was good to see everyone and celebrate.  Who would have ever imagined that this 'social distancing' would be the new normal.
