  At the National Museum of Mexican Art's Día de los Muertos exhibit there was a circle of unique chairs.

I hadn't seen Kristi or her son since December 2019 before the lockdown. I'm glad she was able to come here since her mother and stepdad hadn't seen their grandson since then.  Last night my high school friends had a mini-reunion because a friend was in town from Georgia.
