A Christmas Wreath


 Husband M's sister and her husband dropped by last weekend before the Toronto lockdown went into effect.  She brought this beautiful wreath that she made for us.  It has a battery lighting system attached which is fun, you can choose between 3 twinkling light sequences!

Daughter L and her fiance came into contact with Covid as a close friend tested positive.  The friend was asymptomatic but they went to get tested.  L and fiance were fortunately negative and will complete their quarantine today.  Each day they woke up hoping not to acquire symptoms, it was very stressful.  

It is hard to tell where anyone might have picked up the virus.  We suspect L's friend went to dinner at an indoor restaurant which was allowed at the time.  One of the friends in the small group may have been unknowingly positive.  Indeed that friend developed mild symptoms about a week later and informed the group that she had tested positive.  At that point 2 others tested and they were also positive although non-symptomatic.  One of these 2 was L's friend.

Interestingly, a 4th friend had joined the group very briefly but did not stay to dinner.  She tested negative.

Beautiful wreath! Covid is keeping us all on our toes, trying to avoid contacts etc. It's a sad way to live just now. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie

Sweet wreath! I hope you are all doing well and not going stir crazy. Hope you all stay well and strong.

Truly scary times. I am glad you guys do have a lockdown. Here, the governor isn't much help and lots of anger over wearing masks at the city level, or people are still upset and have a riot or two over the policing matters. I am glad you have something to inspire the start of the Christmas season.

Beautiful! I am glad your daughter is doing OK. It isn't easy staying home..especially being with someone who wants to go out.

The wreath is gorgeous! I'm so glad your daughter and her fiancé were negative. I can only imagine how stressful the quarantine time must have been!

Rather stressful when one knows they've been in contact with covid. I hope they remain negative for covid.

I do hope and pray that all goes well for those affected by the Covid-19 virus. They all sound as if they are being responsible and doing the correct testing and quarantine procedure. Wishing them all well.
Beautiful and festive wreath 🎄❄🎅

just today thinking about pulling out a few decorations - nice wreath! Glad your daughter is okay. We think we had it in February although we weren't tested or nothing was confirmed but up here in our little town it seems like so many were sick with a weird flu (this was before Covid was mentioned as a thing in this country)... and now they are saying it has been around a lot longer than anyone thought. I had never had a flu like that one - i was down about 8 days.

The wreath is lovely.

I'm pleased that your daughter and her fiancé tested negative.
It is just so worrying.

Take care, stay safe and well.

All the best Jan

Love the wreath. I so hate that we all have to be scared of walking out the door everyday or in their case, fear they will start showing signs. Life sure has done a flip flop.

what beautiful Christmas wreath Christine!

L and her fiancee's experience shows why Covid is such an insidious disease. Glad to hear they didn't have it.

Lorraine said...

That's a beautiful wreath. So glad you got to visit before your lockdown. Also glad your family is healthy - scary times.

Sandra Cox said...

Beautiful wreath.
Relieved your daughter and fiance are okay.
The six year olds came in contact with it, but also tested negative. Whew.

Ananka said...

Nice wreath. The asymptomatic ones are the most dangerous. I think there are a lot of them out there. Cases keep rising in Scotland and more and more deaths too :-(

That is a very festive, beautiful wreath. It's so hard when you have to be quarantined. Thank goodness L and her fiance both tested negative. I can imagine what a worry that was.
