I've had all the vaccines, as have my kids. The cases of polio that have shown up in NYC are scary.
My sister, who grew up in NYC, was a "Polio Pioneer" - one of a small group of children who were the first in the nation to have the pol;io vax, at age 6. She was given a cool card with a congratulations and all the info on it. She was very proud of being a polio pioneer. Sine she is dead now I would love to have that card, but my BIL is being a di*k about going through her stuff.
Even though there is no vaccine for scarlet fever I have had it - twice. Once when I was 9 and again when I was 26. OMG, I was so terribly sick, both times. I always figured I was prone to scarlet fever because I was named for Beth in Little Women. She died from scarlet fever.
Speaking of illness, yesterday was the first day I was able to function more or less normally. My best friend, Mary, says I had covid. It's possible. I was so sick for several weeks, then severely sick for several days. Whatever it was I sure hope it's over and done.
The weather is cooler!! Down into the mid-90's and will actually drop to 90 this week-end. What a RELIEF. I hope and pray that we've seen the last of those scorching plus-100's. But, ya never know.
I'm getting ready for my 40th high school class reunion, which will be on 9/10. I'll be wearing a black dress with mod-style retro black and white flower earrings, black capri leggings, pale apricot platform sandals that I absolutely adore, and and an emerald green clutch. The reunion will be at a nice country club.
