[Viva] Stay Safe sisters!

[Danielle Lucia]

Safe from covid here in our house.  I've had no social outings since last
March when this all started.

Margarite, I am sorry to hear your husband isn't well.  Even testing
negative when you have something going on must be frightening when your
husband tested positive.  May you both be well soon.

Danielle
