Birthdays in the Time of the Pandemic

I saw this a couple of weeks back. I saw a woman putting up these decorations. I'm thinking that it was probably the mom who was putting them up.

I said I hope you have a good party. She thanked me.

I thought it must be hard to properly celebrate events during all of this. But especially hard to celebrate birthdays.

This week there are a couple of birthdays on my block. One of them is a kid. The plan is to do a birthday car parade for her. Also someone is making either cookies or a cake or maybe even both. Hopefully this will make the birthday seem a little more like a birthday.

One more thing that had changed in these pandemic times.
