Yes, my friend. You hit the nal on the head, this is the way of the times right now – my daughter in law is 6 1/2 months pregnant and it’s upsetting we can’t celebrate her via shower the way we’d like, plus I’ve only seen her once – LOVE your book covers and best wishes to you.
So very true. For me:
Before: Lets make plans for a cruise in January. I know it’s five months away, but you can never be too early.
