Most shops and restaurants are back open and while there are some limitations on how many people can be inside at one time, you’re still able to eat in and shop in person while maintaining social distance.

Recently Poopsie and I spent a long weekend at the beach with my brother, sister-in law and my nephews. It was lovely and while there, I read The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins.
