55 Days and Counting

What happens when a 16-day vacation in Florida turns into 55 days of bonding time with your 83-year-old snowbird parents? No more gatherings or activities, just stay-at-home fun in a 1600-square feet condo and an adventure filled with frustration and humor.Join the author as she spends her days in quarantine with a mother that has no filter and a father who can't sit still. Ride along with them as they return to their neighboring homes in Connecticut and continue their quarantine journey.The Covid-19 pandemic changed our lives and altered our 'normal' way of existing. As the author's mother continually stated, "I'm 83 and I'm not going to change now," she opened her daughter's eyes to a new way of viewing the world and family life.What began as a daily diary entry, sent to family and friends to cheer them up in their dreaded isolation, is now a humorous memoir that will make you smile and often relate to life with elderly parents.
