    Morning~

    Ate something that simply didn't agree with me. Up all night with stomach pains and vomiting. And today will be a long day. I dare the fool who doesn't listen today. Oi.....

    Hoping and praying everyone w/ friends, family and acquaintances affected financially get through this quickly and resume normalcy.

    Yesterday was supposed to be opening Day Nationals Park. Sad it didn't happen. Baseball tends to unite.

    Good Morning BBB.
    Florida "safer at home" executive order started at midnight.
    Tom is heading up north for work - he has tons of work there for construction, excavation, and other essential service vehicles so keep you fingers crossed that he is not stopped at any state boarders.
    Jack and I will hold down the fort alone in sunny Florida.
    Stay safe everyone.

    They might stop him at Canadian border, Raine. Is he flying or road tripping?

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Day 22 of house arrest. My Kindle bill is mounting.
    • Safe travels Tom.
    • Today was supposed to be the home opener for the Braves.
    • Any recommendations for good TV series or movies on Amazon Prime? I recommend the The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Jack Ryan.
    • Get well Skip.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Our governor extended the shelter in place order for an additional month - at least until May 4.

    Physical therapy this morning. Hard to say that it is having much effect. I can't go for a hike and that is when my hip bothered me the most. I'll keep doing the PT, though. It couldn't hurt.

    Hope you feel better, Skip.

    Cold - for April. Highs in the 40s, with showers. Should warm a little next week, but we are still way short of the shirt-sleeve weather I crave.

    It was down to the 20's last night. Yikes. I didn't cover any of the flowers. I assume they are all Hardy enough to handle a freeze.

    We went to the grocery for a few fresh ling's yesterday. Small Town grocery sure doesn't have a great selection. The greens selection is terrible. We had taco salad last night and will have salad for lunch but I don't think it will make it longer than that. Maybe I have time to grow some. Will do some research. We are here until at least the end of April probably longer. Grandma had a sun porch that I could probably use as a greenhouse.

    Hi BBB

    Teary a bit today. Lady across street passed in home hospice of wicked cancer. So that's sad. Going on week 3 here and were ok but it's getting worse all around us, as we all know. They setting up emergency shelters and med tents etc. I just need to take a nap I think, tune off the news and social media for awhile. Ive been careful about not getting media news politics overloading, but today I'm just in a funk. I need to Get a walk in too.

    I went to Aldi earlier with my own wipes for cart and disposable gloves on. I shouldn't have to go out again for a couple weeks.

    Safe travels to Tom driving to IL. Least gas is cheap and he likely packed his own food. What is it 14 hour drive?

    We now know someone that knows someone that passed from the virus. 55yr. Healthy Male he was with our friends who were all in Mexico together early March. They are all quarantined no one else seems to be testing positive yet. Hopeful no one will. This stinks.

    I need to zoom or Skype ds1...I miss him so much in TX. Its too far away!!! Sighhhh

    Be safe, be well BBB

    Worked in yard yesterday and today at least 2 more days of work; Mary wish you were near by could hire you to redo beds around house. Too much sun, little blistered but they say the sun and light is good for us. scraped lawn now watering it and front beds.
    77 now should be going up about a degree a day for next 5 days, slight chance of rain Tuesday.
