Mom turns 99 on Sunday.

I have a step-brother and sister-in-law who live south of us about 3 hours.

They sent Mom an email saying they would like to drive up and take her out to dinner.

I thought it wasn't such a great idea right now. It doesn't matter who got the jab or booster(s) - it doesn't stop someone from getting Covid. The only way not to get it is to avoid interaction with the general public. Right?

So I sat down with Mom and got her blessing that we stay in this year with the provision that I take care of all food arrangements, which is what I would have wanted anyway. Will probably be a nice steak dinner with fresh salad, baked potato, and veggie. I ordered a custom birthday cake for her today.

It wasn't even her idea to go out in the first place.

Mom will turn 100 next year, God willing, and hopefully by then we will be in a better position risk-wise to go out somewhere.

I welcome any opinions on the matter - thanks!
