Afternoon at the Marina

Masks on, then off, in order to eat Italian subs and sip mimosas. Blowing out a birthday candle in a Whole Foods chocolate cupcake--from a distance.
Celebrating my sister. It was not without stress. We were outdoors at a picnic table and a nearby bench by the boat slips, so pretty, but Punch was hyper. Still, we took a short, Cape Cod-like walk on a boardwalk through the marsh grass. We saw my beloved Buttercup, my doggy niece.
Choppy waters. Punch pestering Figgy, Fig telling me that sitting on Sis’s terrace after lunch and scurrying in and out of her condo for coffee was mot part of the safe social distancing plan she had agreed to. We left shortly after that, walking away from the terrace instead of through the condo.
I half-jokingly called Fig the gestapo because she wouldn’t let me order and pay ahead and get an iced coffee to go via curbside pickup.We have to minimize our contact with people--and the number of stops we make.

I miss iced coffees to go.
