I'm putting this here because AP is my journal more than Facebook is. We posted this on the Elm Tree Dental Clinic's page today:
One year ago today, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the Elm Tree Dental Clinic in Palgrave to close except for very limited emergency care. We donated most of our masks and gloves to Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville and went home to bake bread and follow the news.
As more was learned about COVID-19, new provincial protocols were developed to keep dental offices safe for patients and staff. Infection control has always been a key part of dentistry so we already had a strong foundation to build on. We've worked hard to make the Elm Tree Dental Clinic one of the safest places in our community.
The clinic re-opened after 12 weeks with updated protocols in place. As the case numbers in our area have risen and fallen, we have continued to limit the patients we see and the treatments we do, focusing on preventive dentistry, essential treatments and emergency care.
Recently Dr. Ehrlich and Susanne, our longtime dental hygienist, received their first doses of the Moderna vaccine. The other members of our dental team all have their appointments booked. We're thrilled that some of our patients have already been vaccinated and that most will be offered their first dose by early summer.
We couldn't have imagined the events of the past year or the speed with which vaccines would be developed. We anticipate that many of our new clinic protocols will remain in place permanently. Although our lives won't return to normal in the near future, we are so happy to begin this new chapter. Like all of you, we can't wait to hug our friends and family.
Thanks for your support in these difficult times. Stay healthy and we look forward to seeing you.

Jill, Caron and I took on the PJ Party challenge in the Spring Scavenger Hunt today.
We warmed up in their driveway by dancing to "Pajama Time" from the Sandra Boynton book.
Here's the full song in case you ever want to boogie before bedtime - especially if you have kids.
We had a chatty run on roads down to the rail trail, which had some long patches of glare ice that made us tiptoe since we hadn't worn spikes. We waved at hikers, dog walkers and passing drivers.
Yesterday's challenge was a test of my portable speaker so I could make a playlist for today's run and play it at a decent volume.
Pajama Time - Adam Bryant
Dreamer - Supertramp
Mr. Sandman - Chordettes
The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Nylons
Dream On - Aerosmith
I Can't Find My Pyjamas - Al Simmons
Dreamin' Again - Jim Croce
Dreams - Fleetwood Mac
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This - Kevin Fox (I didn't have the Annie Lennox version on my phone)
Tired as Fuck - Tragically Hip
When I went home, I figured I should get a photo of my pyjama running outfit.
I went into the house. Two minutes later, the doorbell rang. WTF? Our doorbell almost *never* rings - especially since the pandemic started. I ripped off the pyjamas (long underwear underneath) and tore the elastics from my pigtails. I rushed to the door and just found an envelope on the ground after all that, lol!
