 Dear Friends and Readers of The Falls,

     I do apologize for such a long time in-between posts. I won't blame it on Covid, because it's the fault of an old writer trying to balance a number of balls at the same time. Me. At this moment I am working on Book #42 in The Falls small town mystery series while editing the paperback version of #39, Special Delivery and transferring #40, The Reckoning onto a template for paperback publication. Not to mention playing with my new pole cutter and planting beans, squash and tomatoes.

     The folks in The Falls are quietly going about getting their vaccinations and wearing their masks. The town council has decreed that masks will be worn at all times and that social distancing will be strictly enforced. They didn't really need to because the folks in The Falls are a common sense and caring group as a general rule and they all knew it was the best interest of everyone. No protestors here. 

     We are nearly 93% vaccinated completely now and only 16 people have had the virus. Of those two dies. Merl Harrison, 89 from just down the road outside the village and Dedra Murphy, 47, who worked at the Feed and Seed. They will be missed.

     We hope all of you are taking the right precautions and doing what's responsible for everyone around you. We're sure you are. After all, unless I'm terribly mistaken, you like The Falls and are one of us in heart and mind.

     The baby birds in the nest in our shrub by the front door had a rough time with the storm yesterday. Carolyn and I are hoping they are okay.

     I promise I will work at leaving smaller gaps between posts. My apologies once again. Stay safe. Take care of those you love and return to The Falls whenever you can!

     Our love and thoughts,

     George and The Folks from The Falls.
