As I have continued testing negative and nothing could be done for my wife as we simply had to wait out the clock, I got out. I got out because these were wonderful events. I got out, with my wife’s encouragement, simply to be out of the house.
On May 17, 2022 the International Live Events Association held a networking event. I am not a member, but have an interest in working in the industry.
The event was held at a craft brewery in Cleveland’s Flats on a glorious weather day! I meet many people in many of the activities I engage in. However, as I have discussed here, most of those connections fade away for many reasons. But I honestly believe I may have made some real connections. Only time will tell. I had a wonderful time and felt not only welcomed, but on some level some one of interest to others.
Prior to the event, as usual, I did a little photo shoot.
The following day, May 18, 2022, I worked as the primary greeter for The Arthritis Association’s Silver Spoons event, highlighting the best restaurants in Cleveland.
We had not held a live event in two years and it was so great so see familiar faces, friends, again! Just another situation of me at a large event, just being one of the other woman there. Complimenting each other on our dresses, giggling with a few friends, and again, being noticed positively for who I am.
The weather this day was awful, so any plans for a photo shoot downtown were dashed. Here are the home photos I take every time out. It was again nice to briefly escape COVID, but still be weighed down by its effects on my wife. Remind me, when does life get easy?

Kandi, both dresses are lovely, though I am partial to the second one. The shoes from the first day are very cute with the bows! I’m glad to see your smile even though I know you were concerned about your wife.
I am smiling because this is my escape. If I couldn’t enjoy dressing for whatever reason, I simply would not do it. Thanks T, I love those shoes myself!
I agree with Tina two very lovely dresses
I am partial to the first one
