Happy Saturday!
Another lock down day for me as all the masses are postponed. I will continue until Monday when I have an appointment for my yearly physical and a mammogram.
I thought they might cancel as the hospital doesn't want any visitors for their patients but so far it is a go. My friends still want to go to dinner on St. Paddy's but I am still deciding.
Babe said this morning all his numbers went back up to where they were when he came to the hospital so he is one miserable human being. Hopefully the doctors can fix him and probably want to do it quickly to get him and his son out of there.
I do love how people are coming together during this crisis. People are offering seniors help with any errands or things they need, including my granddaughter who doesn't want me to leave the house. My friend posted on Facebook that anyone who has children and needs food she will be happy to buy them cereal and/or milk or anything they need. With all the schools closed it will be hard for a lot of parents and a lot of kids who go to school for a safe place.
Stay safe my friends and remember to keep three feet away from people just to be safe.
Have a great day.
Sandy
One Day at a Time0 -
Good morning. Very light snow continues today with temperatures just at the freezing point. I flit from thing to thing around here. Cut up veggies this morning for a part of my breakfast, did some die cutting, read a bit on a book, Facebook posts, texting with a friend.
She was kind enough to check in to see how I am doing and volunteered herself and her husband to get anything I might need. This is the lady who does not like to be around people and who limits her social meetings in the best of times. What a dear.
I also got up late, had a nice long shower and plotted things I might do. I have advanced to getting out some file folders. 😂😂
Two of the libraries where I attend book clubs have cancelled all activities for the remainder of this month and then they will see where we are with this whole thing. Our large mega church has indeed cancelled all in person services with only online worship available. And that really is huge since they have gigantic congregations in probably 5 separate locations around our metro area.
I sort of wonder if this goes on for months will people calm down and stop buying everything on the shelf? Or will we have to scramble for our food and supplies? I had something in my Amazon cart that became available and I started to check out but the delivery estimate was in August of this year. So never mind, I deleted it.
Anne, oh gosh, using Kleenex for TP would work I guess but I predict lots of plugged drains. Some are apparently using baby wipes which is making moms absolutely angry according to what I see on Facebook. Happy little Bean. What a joy to have with you even if she wears you out. And books to read. Good diversions. I am watching old Westerns on TV today. I would watch PBS but it is money raising time and there are far too many extended fund appeals!
Jackie, sweet little deer. That is a good way to start the day. And good for you, the purchases sounded good and I am certain you will find a use for the wine. 😉. Yes, I have seen the singing video. Quite lovely. And helpful for people to be reminded there is music. Tick, tock countdown to the new car!
Sandy, there are few things to do out there right? Well, not things I would be interested in I guess. I am still on for church tomorrow. At least for this week as some families are off on spring break vacation. I am sorry Babe isn’t doing better but I do hope he gets out of the hospital soon. And I agree, I have had several friends do that same type of post, offering to get food to people with kids who will miss school food programs or the parents aren’t working. Very kind.
Buzz, hello dearest. My gosh, Germany will not let him out? Wow, I did not read that anywhere. It is all chaos isn’t it? I hope he can work everything out. So much stress.
Well, at some point today I *plan* to make broccoli slaw and use up some old spuds by making mashed potatoes. My hands are in the water too often. My knuckles are red.
All best wishes for health and happiness. ❤️❤️

P.S. just heard all Senior Centers in the county are closed until the end of the month. Makes sense. Youth programs go on as usual....hum.0 -
And for something whimsical

Hello everyone! Sunny and rather cold but no rain so far today. We are alive and I think (so far, at least) we are able to avoid the evil virus. We are concerned for our kids, of course. Their jobs and financial well-being as well as their health.
John ran out early this morning in search of the elusive TP. It is gone currently. John said Costco and Walmart was jammed with shoppers. When I was a kid, we moved our cattle onto leased federal land to graze and we had a “cow camp” which was a cabin and a outhouse toilet. There was an old Montgomery ward catalog installed to use as TP. Aaaaaarrgh! Horrible but we loved camping out and playing in the river. Just a bit of rustic living from the past.
I have decided to calm down and start a bit of spring cleaning as well as some creative projects. There is really nothing else reasonable to do. I read we are into this for at least a couple of months. That is really nothing. That will whizz by if I get involved in a couple of projects. Sooooooo! This will test our ingenuity.
I am placing an order for some new books from amazon. Plus some glue on jewels for my ball cap and my garden hat. I believe in sparkly fashion statements.
KIck this virus into the weeds...we simply don’t need it!

When I was a kid, it being wartime, I didn't know toilet paper existed. We cut newspaper into squares. These squares were threaded onto string and the pack dangled from the obsolete toilet roll holder. Ha, those were the days!0
-
Funny Anne, I was reminiscing earlier with my brother on Skype about cut up newspaper hanging up on string.... all that black ink!! His small coastal town in Spain has just been placed in lockdown and as we talked I could hear a police car announcement as it drove past his apartment telling everyone to stay at home. Hooray for The Bean keeping you entertained!
Just heard the over 70’s are going to be asked by the government to self isolate from Monday but most of my friends are already doing so. It’s because our health service is always stretched this time of year so it won’t cope with this virus on top of the usual influenza cases. I’ll have to sneak out to collect my car on Thursday though!
Wind howling outside and yet more rain forecast for the morning but looks like a few dry days next week so I can occupy my time pruning shrubs that should have been cut back a month ago. I’m loving Patsy’s idea of a sparkly garden hat and might do something similar to cheer things up. 😉
Off to bed now.

An adorable teapot Lin but that poor little mouse looks terrified and who can blame it!
Jackie0 -
My lot have landed home. I've just read that a beach in Miami has been closed and any Canadians travelling from there should isolate. And in Quebec all over 70s are asked to stay indoors at home. Wonder if that will happen here! Poor Bean and all the other dogs confined to back yards!
Newspaper squares, yes I've wondered how many British kids went to school with hitler plastered on their bums from the ink. It used to rub off on your hands whilst handling, so.......

My remark about the TP is our citrus fruits are no longer individually wrapped, which was often used when I was a kid! And once TP became the choice of most familkes, there were 500 sheets to a roll. The prices have risen as the sizes have shrunken! I wakened this morning with ghastly arthritis in both shoulders and could not move a thing! It seemed lovely outside so there goes my weather/arthritis theory! My friends are trying to get me to consider Assisted Living or at least an aide, and I'm fighting the thought tooth and nail and wondering why! I really have a difficult time telling other people what to do, as I much prefer becoming friends and chatting (as with my "cleaning friend") and I'm a bit old to change too much! Let's hope it's simply the start of PT and things will become less painful!
Love you and all your posts, which is like reading a family diary! And I'm groggy for lack of enough sleep, so I'll try again tonight!

Sympathy sent BUZZ because I'm a mass of old achy bones this morning as well.
Now some rather good news regarding the empty grocery shelves. People with stocked up carts are being interviewed and it isn't selfishness at all. They are double stocking for elderly parents, friends, and neighbours. This is especially true of the new immigrants to our shores who know old folk who's English is not good at the best of times. Mike of course brought me the frozen veggies, health bars and chicken for Jilly.
Mark says he will self isolate as advised until he is absolutely sure he's okay after the recommended fourteen days are up. The time left of his ruined holiday! That's okay by me, I am just glad they are home and we communicate all the time via text, phone and email anyway.
I hope my ex up in "those thar hills" of Quebec and asked to isolate being 84 years old has equally good neighbours.
Hope Buzzes bones are flexing up like mine are now as I write, feed little Bean and drink my coffee.
Cold here, but who cares, we are all tucked up in our cosy safe homes.
🙃❤️🐶❤️Anne.0 -
Happy Sunday friends. Well it’s official, almost anyway, over 70’s to be asked to self isolate for up to 4 months for our own protection. Put it that way Boris and I’ll certainly do my best!
Another morning walk in the rain this morning but I decided I couldn’t cope with the mud and muck on the moors so we went round the block instead. The good news is those clouds are drifting away so we will now enjoy sunny and mild weather for a couple of days.
Mixing up a fresh batch of George’s raw dog food I realised I was out of carrots so messaged my neighbour and she dropped in with some. The funniest thing was when she gave George a whole carrot for fun and he ran about with it in his mouth so happily then ran out of the open kitchen door and passed back and forth while we laughed! As we talked I lost sight of said carrot but of course Betty had taken it and was halfway through eating it! My neighbours are concerned about what happens next because one is a teacher and there’s a chance schools will be closed soon, the other runs an office for a small retail business that she knows will go bust within 2 months of any closure. It’s easy to be retired through this crisis but there must be millions around the world facing financial hardship.
Our local farm shop is offering deliveries to anyone isolated at home and there is also a scheme setting up in the parish that will drop cards off at properties showing phone numbers of volunteers to help in any way needed.
Now Anne, do you think that’s true about buying for others? Call me cynical but....!! 🤔
Buzz, such a big decision to move into Assisted Living but something you have to know 100% is right and I’m with you, no one else can know how it might affect your mental well-being if it means losing independence and social contacts. That’s for you to decide. I’m told I’m too independent for my own good and do get it but it’s what keeps me going!
I’m still aching and snuffly so won’t overdo things but at least muck out the hens. Exciting!!
Jackie0 -
Happy Sunday! Staying home although I am getting bored. Maybe my video call with my kids later will cheer me up. The good thing is I am eating healthy and riding my bike so that is a plus. Still not decided about dinner Tuesday but we will decide tomorrow. I feel safe enough since most restaurants are taking precautions but we will see what the governor says tomorrow in his report.
Jackie, 4 months?? I think I would lose my mind if I had to stay in for that long. I am glad you have your garden and hens to keep you busy. Just take care of that stuffy nose and get well. I can just visualize George running around with a big carrot with Betty stealing it.
Anne, there are two brothers in Tennessee who has over 17.000 bottles of sanitizer they can't unload. Amazon, Ebay and other sites are cracking down on price gougers. That will teach them. lol Although I do imagine there are some who worry about elders and bought things to help them. I have a friend who asks me if I need anything so those are kind people.
Buzz, I too, am wondering why you are fighting assisted living or an aid? Isn't it the same kind of apartment but with help? I am sure you could be friends with the people who help but this is just my opinion. Remember Mike didn't want to move there either but it was best for him.
You can tell me to mind my own business, I won't be offended.
LIn, did your church have service today? They are closing all the casinos in the Chicago area so I hope they close the one in Michigan we are supposed to go. Dinner is one thing but a casino with so many people is another.
Patsy, I don't ever remember not having TP so I guess I am a spoiled child. I am thinking of putting some of my VHS tapes on DVD's, that would keep me busy as well. I am too active to stay in this long but it is for my own good.
Have a great day everyone, who would have thought we all of us from all over the world we would all share in a lock down?
Sandy

Michael shares your cynicism JACKIE. Re stockpiling. He said you could barely move in Costco for East Indians stockpiling.
Here it is very quiet and a big notice proclaimed St. Aidens our church just around the corner was closed. Most of the congregation are very old so I'm not really surprised. I went to the bank with Bean and Mike and stocked up on cash and then doggie treats at the pet store. The parking lot was virtually empty of cars and it seems less planes are flying overhead.
We had home made fish cakes and peas for lunch followed by apple crumble and icecream. Not exactly tightening our belts!
Don't know the truth to this but Mikes friend is in the medical profession and she's heard non essential surgery cancelled next week.
I just hope the weather warms up enough for the Bean and I to garden. I sort of enjoy sort of stepping back in time to a less polluted and congested world.
Anne - time to sniff the flowers!1 -
Good afternoon. Sunny, a bit windy and still too cold for me to think of going for a stroll!
Yes, I was off to church this morning and fixed communion while wearing disposable gloves but I started with wiping the table etc. with disinfecting wipes and washing my hands before snapping on the gloves. Another person wiped down the pews and the bathrooms were cleaned and wiped down as well. There were multiple containers of disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer and boxes of Kleenex. Disposable tongs for the donuts. So much improvement this week.
I stay off to the side of the fellowship hall after Sunday school while others were chomping down on donuts I was drinking my tea from home and eating my snack while placing my phone on a napkin rather than a table surface.
During meet and greet time during the church service people were urged to stand up and wave at everyone. Of course most of our people couldn’t resist walking around, shaking hands and hugging anyway. I stayed out of the traffic pattern and actually changed to a different pew to keep 3 ft. between me and other folks. I cleaned up afterwards and none of the kids rushed in to see if they could drink any of the leftover grape juice (thankful for that too).
I stopped at the health food store on the way home. No cherry tomatoes and many blank spots on the shelves. I did find a couple of things. But here are the differences: NOTHING may be returned now for any reason, people are grabbing all of something they like when it hits the shelf (according to the person who was checking me out), and finally they are having resupply problems on many items again per info from store personnel. Translation, the warehouses are empty and they don’t know when they will receive merchandise.
And this is a store that is as pricey if not even more expensive than Whole Foods. 🙄
I got home, made some lunch and then received a text which I assumed would be coming but I was hoping it would not. The reflexologist is closing her practice for an unknown duration due to the emergency conditions. So I will stay tuned and hope I don’t hurt anything!
Anne, I am cynical too. But who can sort through it. I won’t be purchasing for anyone. Stores here are starting to limit the number of items you may purchase but honestly, I never get to any store when things are in stock. So luckily I have enough of everything. Your lunch sounds good. I hope the rest of your family has ordered their needs online and can do their quarantine in relative comfort.
Sandy, although I don’t get bored easily, I was happy to hear some voices in person today. I have been talking on the phone almost everyday to someone. Luckily a few people still like to speak rather than text. Those are exceptions! Our St. Patrick’s day parade was just cancelled. The organizers had been quite difficult saying unless the mayor contacted them directly, they would not cancel it. Well, ha, the Mayor declared an emergency in the city and all public gatherings of 250 or more on public property are no longer allowed even if previously permitted. All done! And I am with you Sandy, I have always had TP even at camp when we had to use an outhouse!
Jackie, I hope you do feel better soon. Too much wet weather? You must get your car so I trust you will figure out a way to get there without being arrested for violating the isolation rules. That may happen here as well as clearly we do not have a handle on this thing yet.
Patsy, it was probably a good idea to grab some things. We may be stuck in place for a long time. Who knows? Life definitely changes daily.
Buzz, I hope your grandson finds a way to get to the U.S. It would be reassuring to have him closer.
Although I don’t know if this is nationwide, but here, no one is allowed in any kind of care community/facility. Which is causing distress for several families I know here. A lady is slowly approaching the end but her husband is no longer allowed to visit as he might bring something into the facility to other residents. He is heart broken. Another lady is used to one of her kids or friends stopping by to see her, she has problems with her Parkinson’s and sees things that aren’t there. Apparently she is more agitated now that there are no familiar faces around.
Is it a curse? May you live in interesting times.
It is so nice to have you here to chat with each day. Best wishes.
Lin

Just another set.
And Jackie, I thought on top of the owl teapot was an acorn with a leaf on either side. Really, it is a mouse?? Hummmmm.0 -
I thought it was an acorn as well and two leaves. I rather hope it was an acorn!! Bad enough drinking your tea with a pair of owl eyes peering at you without worrying about the fate of a little mouse, lol.
Anne.0 -
They just closed all bars and Restaurants in Illinois.......no dinner Tuesday, at least I am not the bad guy.
0 -
Oops sorry, just had a closer look and it is an acorn on the lid of the owl teapot. Must be my life in the countryside has me thinking the worst!! 😦😲 Today’s bone china roses reminds me of visiting my great aunt Sybil and uncle Harry with parents when I was very small. I’m sure they were very nice but their dark house where we sat for high tea surrounded by ornate ornaments terrified me!
I’ve read we will get more information in the week about when over 70’s should isolate along with other government plans. I could be wrong but don’t think it will be enforced but instead strongly advised. So far in Cornwall with its population of about half a million we have just 5 people infected so no need for mass shutdowns yet.
Lin, you planned your time at church perfectly as I’m sure such precautions are well worthwhile. Our supermarkets have got together and written an open letter to all customers asking for more consideration for those who are unable to keep returning when they find shelves emptied. They say If things don’t improve restrictions will be applied and policed by army personnel but it’s mostly in cities it’s happening. I’m phoning friends more as well as mailing cards to some just to jolly us all along.
Midnight and time for bed.
Stay positive everyone. 💐💖

I couldn't resist snapping this teapot being shown on our Antiques Road show this evening. Worth £100 apparently!

Oh, even if I wouldn't own it, that China Rose grabbed my fancy! My typing is getting worse and worse, and it's because my fingers are so numb/burning/pins and needles crazy, I cannot click each key deeply enough to make an impression.
ANNE, I'm not happy for your sharing my pain! Getting up is a nightmare, though today was slightly better and I was able to dress after the compression boot hour.
JACKIE, everyone here is annoyed with me , calling me too independent because I don't hire an aide. I guess when I feel comfortable with the idea of being "waited on", I will get one, but not until I am ready! As far as assisted living , each person has a room (ONE room) and bathroom containing a shower. So one has a bed (usually twin) and perhaps a lounge chair and bureau, and all one's furniture is destroyed once one has moved without it! where would my office be? Life without my computer ? Unthinkable ! Today the entire community was put on quarantine My Fat Mmmmmmm fat fingers are giving up, but temperature is normal... Buzz 0 -
Good morning fellow sufferers, quarantiners, toilet roll hunters, I wonder what today will bring! Every day something new on the world stage.
Hey BUZZ, you describe the quarters I would have had if I'd moved into the Vistamere. Me and the Bean sharing and just my iPad. With this outbreak I'm rather glad I'm still in the old homestead with the back garden for Jilly Bean. Whatever you are comfortable with my dear. It's your life and your body. As for me, I think this virus thingy will put everything on hold and so me and the apple trees get to live another day! Every cloud has a silver lining for somebody!
We really enjoyed Mikes visit yesterday, he brought me a box of emergency Kleenex and when he took Bean out for a long walk (whilst mom cooked) he and she was surrounded by a group of pretty Chinese girls who photographed Bean! Not 58 year old Michael! I guess he's only cute to his Mom!
So girls, when you sit in your LRs just think of all the money you are saving with closed bingo halls, no church collection plates, no food on grocery shelves to tempt you and I for one might lose weight on reduced rations! Yeah!
Seriously though, here's hoping we all keep well and today the sun shines.
Anne. 🙃❤️🐶❤️🌷0 -
The sun is certainly shining here in little old England Anne so I've just enjoyed a coffee while soaking up some Vitamin D! We had a lovely walk on the moors and although a couple of cars were parked up I only saw one man and his dog from a distance but look.... Planes still flying from me to you across the Atlantic, spotted over my head!
I've a home pedicure in an hour so will toast a bagel and enjoy some homemade leek and sweet potato soup. (Sandy, my weight hasn't moved even one ounce so today the serious work begins. I think I said that a couple of weeks ago! 😕🙃)
Happy Monday. Stay healthy and safe. ♥️♥️
Jackie0 -
Up, up, and away. We are looking at the same blue, blue sky JACKIE. I've found an old book of
18-19th century American country recipes. One recipe is called chicken pudding which turns out to be a roast chicken under a YORKSHIRE pudding. Cheeky! pinching my county recipe! Mind you, could be some soul in hill billy country with vague memories of the old country who invented it. Today though I'm trying Sheepherders pie which sorta resembles our shepherds pie. Wish me luck!
Anne. Hey, it even has a recipe for grits which I tried once in the Shenandoah Hills.0 -
Hello friends. A cold overcast and dismal day. Things have gotten much more troubling overnight. Kids are out of school for 8 weeks, at least in some school districts. We are told, anyone aged 60 and over is to self-isolate for 8 weeks. More and more retail stores are closing. Gosh, all I did was fall asleep, what the heck happened? Our governor finally woke up. A middle aged man and his child both have this and they did not travel. I think it shook her up. Well, we will see what happens next. ❤️❤️
I have been hunting online for Clorox wipes. Haaaaa. I set up a bunch of notices but doubt I will get any. I don’t actually have any, just the more organic alternative, Seventh Generation and I keep hearing that will do little good but may be better than nothing. I did find a couple of sprays containers of Lysol so spritz the house once a day. I use my little wipes on the faucets, door knobs and sinks.
Are we the only ones who have been told to soap down the insides of the car? The dashboard, steering wheel, door handles etc.? Gosh, I don’t think I can be that sanitary! 😉 No really.
I have so much to do around here. Lots of things that I should do and many more fun things to do but I seem to be distracted by all that is buzzing around me.
Positive note, after wiping everything down and hunting for wipes, I actually found more file folders so no excuse for not doing the sorting and filing. Well, except slopping about with paint or cutting things out is much more soul satisfying.
Anne, best wishes on your recipes. That is a fun and productive thing to do. Yeah! I hope all turns out well (and edible). I love grits by the way. And I have no doubt that little Bean is more photogenic than most anyone so of course her picture would be taken.
Jackie, thanks, beautiful blue sky. I needed a dose of that! Lucky to still be able to get a pedicure. Well done you. I need to whack down my finger nails. I should put that on my list for today. Yummm, the soup sounds just so delicious.
Buzz, I am sorry about the pain. I sincerely hope your doctors will find a way for you to get relief. As far as where you live, 100% your call. I do understand the difference between an apartment and an assisted living space. When my dad was in Assisted Living, they did have a larger floor plan which had a separate bedroom and a sort of nook for a little kitchenette. Anything like that in your community?
Sandy, Illinois is also getting quite serious about trying to slow the virus down. May all these efforts succeed. And I hope you stay safe and well.
Patsy, is it difficult to keep fresh veggies in your stock of food? I plan to go on the hunt either tomorrow or Wednesday to try to get some more fresh green vegetables and some fruit. Never know what the stores will have now. I have some frozen veggies and fruit but if I am well and can buy some things, I think I will try.
All best wishes for good health ❤️❤️❤️

Totally absurd! This is said to be a teapot. I am not sure exactly where the lid is or how you remove it. Definitely an artsy piece, not functional. 😉0 -
How clever is that teapot Lin. I'm thinking water would be poured into the wave at the back but in my hands the nose of the fish would be cracked in no time with me knocking it on the tap!! My pedicurist is extremely flexible and says although we made an appointment for next month we can discuss options closer to the date depending on where we are by then. We did agree not to hug each other in farewell just in case!
Anne, a great idea, let's take on a blitz mentality and get inventive in the kitchen. Roast chicken with a Yorkshire pudding hat sounds like a tasty start! I've got a lot of old cookery books as well as one on home brewing so will see what I can come up with. Perhaps we can all share recipes?
I'm going to email you sneakers later with information passed on to me that I think is extremely important to know. If you haven't received it by end of day do let me know.
Hugs all round, Jackie 0 -
Happy Monday! The doctor's office called and cancelled my yearly physical and told me to cancel my mammogram. The lockdown continues. Lisa, Bryanna and my friend Jen do not want me to leave the house, if I need anything they will get it. The lockdown could be for 8 weeks, I might go stir crazy by then. It would be nice if the weather were warm enough to sit on my balcony. I am going to need a lot of wine to get through this. lol
I do get upset by the people who are not taking this serious. I have always felt I was a carrier and I am sure there are others out there who are also. That is the idea of the lockdown, to stop spreading the virus, if everyone listened then maybe we could stop it and get on with our lives. Sorry, but so many people are making light of this and it annoys me.
We will be canceling our casino trip and if the lockdown goes for 8 weeks my Florida trip will also be cancelled. They may even ban domestic flights if this keeps up.
Lin, sure doesn't look like a teapot to me, but to each his own. lol You stay safe as well and be careful when you are out shopping. On our video call yesterday my son from Arizona is complaining he cannot buy TP. We gave him all kinds of ideas instead but he didn't think we were funny. lol
Anne, cooking sounds like a good idea to keep busy but I have simple meals so no preparation. I am making a beef roast today so I can eat it for the next few days. We are getting snow showers so no walking for me. I am content to stay in just don't know for how long.
Jackie, I would love a home manicure and pedicure but will have to wait until this virus goes away, it will go away eventually won't it? I believe our closing of restaurants and bars is being enforced because our governor got upset because so many people went out over the weekend for St. Patrick's celebrations. Bryanna just got a new job so she quit the restaurant where she worked, maybe too soon, if they were to get paid with the shutdown. It really is a mess in my state, but hopefully it is for the best.
Buzz, I didn't realize that you would be so downsized no wonder you don't want to make that change, I wouldn't either. Sorry for not understanding. Keep safe.
Patsy, hope you are keeping busy and not thinking. lol
Have a good day ladies, happy to be able to have contact with peers of my own age.

And right in the middle of this virus my kitchen is flooded with water and I can't figure from where! Mark is scared of coming over because he is in quarantine what with hotels, ships, airports and airplanes. Mike is going to work so I have to hang around until tomorrow. The virus is the least of my worries right now! The Sheep herders pie DID turn out tasty though, sigh.
Anne.0 -
Oh ANNE so sorry for your flooding! Does the Bean swim?
I just got a call from my accountant and he cannot come through our gate so I have to gather m papers together and Fed Ex them to him! I usually count on him to pick and choose the necessary figures, so I better get to work!
JACKIE, you have peaked my curiosity, and nothing is in my email!
LIN, I think the tail is the handle, the mouth is where it pours, and I'll be darned if a filler appears but maybe an eye???
SANDY, 8 weeks is one heck of a long time! I guess we'll keep each other entertained!
PATSY< hope your family stays well and keep us notified!
1:19PM and gotta get breakfast! Last night's 1/2 bagel, cream cheese and lox might do, but at least coffee! Am trying some new cbd lotions to see if stronger is better! Buzz

Anne, do you at least have a water shutoff if the water is coming from your kitchen sink? I am so sorry. I spent a day under my kitchen sink the other day. Garbage disposal quit and then the drain on that side wasn’t taking water. I did not enjoy my time under the sink. Could not get the disposal going but did at least get the drain working a bit. I have visions of Roto Rooter out here again this year. Trying to postpone that. Any chance your other son can stop by? Hate to have a quarantined person out driving around and spending time in your house.0
