We ventured out to a favorite restaurant Friday evening..
I was notified, by the owner/manager that he was having a soft re-opening. He explained his sanitizing and distancing procedure, in great detail.
We made an early reservation and called when we parked.. We were told that our table was ready and that we would be met at the door.
I felt that if there was a time that this or any restaurant would be at supreme cleanliness, this was it. I don't believe that I would have gone there later in the evening, after many people had been in the place.
We took our masks to enter and to leave after our meal. We also took our hand sanitizer to use when we felt it necessary. The tables were bare, no condiments, etc. We were asked if we wanted S&P, etc.
We had a wonderful dinner, served by a, very happy to be working again, young lady who made every attempt to make us feel safe.
We will not just pop into any restaurant, just because we can.
I fully understand that many people I know would not do as we did.
I thought a lot about it and decided that, at 80, I can be taken from this life, at any time for a number of reasons. I would hate to drop dead and have someone say, "At least he didn't die from Covid 19. He never left his home."
There is not a lot of time left in my life and I hope to enjoy this time, with as many precautions as possible.
As with many subjects, your view may differ and that's perfectly ok..
