    No exercise today. I thought if I got to WalMart early, there wouldn’t be that many people there. Well, there were 7 people ahead of me. Didn’t exercise since I went shopping. With Jess and Colby here, we need more milk. And I got a few other things, too. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jari Love’s extremely Ripped Boot Camp DVD

    Kim – that‘s the way I shop. I add things to my grocery list when I use the last one of something or if I need it for a recipe. I would have expected the sugar to be with the flour and spices, too. That’s where it usually is around here

    At WM this morning I noticed that they had TP. Not that we needed any, tho

    You know, on my way out of WM I started taking one of their disinfecting wipes and after my shopping trip wiping my hands again and even using these wipes to cover the nozzle if I’m buying gas after shopping. Now that they have it where you can only go in one direction and out the other I can’t get to the wipes unless I walk around. It’s really not a big deal, but I just find it interesting that they are making it harder to get the wipes as you are leaving. Well, I guess not many people use wipes when they leave, mainly when they come into the store.

    Rebecca – oh, love, love, love those pics. Keep them coming!!!!

    Saw one of the ladies from my water aerobics class. She misses it, too, so I told her as soon as our pool is open, she’s welcome to come on over

    Bananas – don’t you just hate it when stores change where they put things???? Especially now, I would think that would be very irresponsible, making people walk all over the store to find something

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind Colby being here, not one bit. But he asked me if we had a folding table then he said he was thinking of working somewhere out of the way. I showed him where the card table was, told him that working downstairs was probably out of the way since people don’t go down there a whole lot. Finally (because I know he can be sensitive sometimes) I told him not to take what I’m about to say wrong, but what were his plans? The reason I ask is because I want to be sure we have enough for dinner, etc. Well, he said that he doesn’t see him staying longer than a week. Ouch! You know what that means? Higher food bills. Oh well….. Looks like Sams Club here I come. We were going to have salmon cakes tonight so I’m going to make more. Better ask him if there’s anything that he can’t have or doesn’t like. Just so I know. There never has been in the past, but I’d rather give him the option. I had a bag all made up of things for him to take home, now it looks like I should put those things into the freezer if I can so that we have enough.

    This is later in the evening as you can see they parked both sides of the street this was when they were at only 10cars (10 had finally left) still have 2 cars out there guess that was the ones who couldn’t drive home. Now look top right of the picture with the brown dark brown garage that’s the hone with elderly COVID-19 patients our Fire-department comes out to test them. The 20 car party house was that close to it! Do they not see that?? I do!

    Just saw this Dont see how this could even be a legal fair decision? Can they do this to any essential workers male/female who’s a single parent? A 4yr old Daughter taken from a Woman Doctor 👩‍⚕️ . The nurses lots are single parents too that I’ve seen on the news. https://youtu.be/_T7MGWWVVC8

    I don't have a problem with this and wonder why the Doctor does. It would only make sense that her child will be shielded from the virus in a home ... with her dad btw ... that is not exposed daily to the virus. And the statement from the attorneys read that the doctor/mom will get make up time when the situation settles down. Does it set precedent? Yes it does.

    :) I continue to be grateful that we have a steady income. It allows us to purchase what we need. I have chosen to buy all groceries, etc. at one store even if the cost might be less at another store. The only reason I can't stay with only one store is that we have bought Costco brand dog food for our dogs for years and I don't want to force them into new food. This morning Jake suggested that we start buying a grocery store brand and we agreed that after my trip to Costco this week, if the shelter at home is still going on in the two months it takes to use up the dog food, we'll switch them to a grocery brand so I can limit my shopping to only one store and only every three to four weeks.

    Barbie - Why can’t you order the dog food from Costco and have it delivered to the house? Then you don’t have to go and the kids don’t have to change food.

    :) I read this and thought maybe I could be adventurous and try something new. Unfortunately my Costco has 12 kinds of dry dog food that I can order for delivery, but not the canned food I need.

    Rita: I like the looks of your knitted mask. :flowerforyou:

    Michele: I let DH run the finances. I don’t use my computer for any bill paying or banking. :noway:

    Barbie: We were Costco shoppers for many years, but there was a big road project between us and Costco a couple of years ago that made getting there a nightmare. The distance is about 30 miles each way and much farther during the road work. We got out of the habit of going to Costco. :ohwell:

    Rebecca: I love blue and white pottery, and the vases are gorgeous. :flowerforyou:


    Yesterday I got to talk with both of my adult kids in separate phone calls and also my granddaughter. It was so nice to be in touch with them. There was an Easter parade in DD’s town and they all went and enjoyed it. I doubt they had masks on, or worried about social distancing but I don’t know for sure. DS & family was traveling home after visiting DDIL's mom.

    Today I did my grocery shopping at Safeway and Walmart. I was able to get almost everything I wanted at Safeway except my favorite Kind Bars. I had to go to Walmart to get them and bought some yarn while I was there. I’ve been knitting cotton dish cloths and enjoying the process. This cotton yarn will keep my hands busy and out of the snacks.

    Oh shoot! Sorry it didn't work out for you! I'm proud of you for trying though!!!

    Denise said that she’d call today to let us know of a good time to Skype. I bet any amount of money she doesn’t call. The reason she was going to call today and not yesterday? Pete would be home. She did call EARLY yesterday, didn’t even speak to Vince because he was sleeping. <cry, missing PJ>

    Barbie – can’t you pick out online what you would like? I know that’s what you do at WalMart.

    MICHELE ~ I know that Denise has photos of PJ on her page. Is there a reason you won't share them?

    Bwcete- She’s lucky he a good Dad not an abuser. Other single parents may not have a good ex but instead an exabuser. They decide for one theirs a danger they will for All. My question is what job does the Dad have? They never said is he an essential worker also like her?( which is same risk) Or out of a job like many? Is his home more safe sounded like she was going above y beyond to sanitize with no visitors , but is he sanitizing y not having visitors? Sure that’s her concern, hopefully it’s a good safe environment. We assume the father is but only she would know for sure.

    Rebecca those are my dream vases! I want that pattern on an old decorative wash bowl too.

    Katla, :) our Costco is only a few miles away, closer than either in town grocery store. It's new and big and doesn't have the crowding problem that stores in more metropolitan areas have. For me, it's the challenge of cutting shopping trips down to as few as possible.
