On January 19, 2020, my 101 year-old father (Dee Molenaar, a well-known mountaineer) died. The year and a day that followed my father's death brought a pandemic, murder hornets, and an insurrection. It also brought incredible moments of beauty and kindness. In an effort to process Dad's passing, and the year that followed, I began combing through news stories, Facebook posts, and my own blog. I found moments that made me laugh out loud, and others that were gut-wrenching for me. At some point during this process, I realized I was creating a book.The book, *Scrapbook of a Year and a Day: January 19, 2020 to January 20, 2021*, consists of news stories, personal anecdotes, essays, poems, and observations of what we all lived through in 2020.
