Just from Colorado to Iowa for a family visit

Well, I found an unexpected cheap roundtrip flight so I booked it. This will be my 1st trip on a plane in 2.5 years--masks required.

Staying inside because of the heat and air quality, but going to donate blood later on today.

It will come when it comes-just enjoy each day and get your affairs in order in case.
