    OK, where are these cabins exactly? :grin:

    If I could, I'd nip off to a cabin like this for a couple months just about any time ... and who knows ... when I finish university & graduate, I just might try to find something similar for a few weeks.

    Give me bicycles & bicycle gear, hiking & trail running gear, books, my camera, some paper and pens and I'm set. :)


    What might you bring to a cabin like this if you were to stay there for a couple months?

    Machka: If I was vacationing in a cabin like that I’d take food & water, books, bug repellent & my terra-tryke. I’d hope for DH to feel good enough to come along.

    Machka if I had 2 months in a cabin away without internet or tv I would take,.....books, cross stitch projects, hiking shoes, camera, boom box and extra batteries for music. Katla My husband would come with me only if he could have his phone. We watch very little tv when we are in the mountains, usually only at bedtime for news. We sit outside, he talks on phone🤔

    Hi ladies

    Heather I'm quite a few pages behind but just read about your "Saga" dilemma, I agree with a few others, take the money now, you can always put it away for a cruise later in the year, we don't know how things are going to pan out. There's already talk of school closures here in York, nothing yet, but it could happen.

    Just want to add, I'm very grateful to all who post Coronavirus information, I think it helps to keep things in perspective and helps to make informed decisions.

    Back to catching up :)

    Good morning ladies!

    Machka - looking at that cabin makes me grateful for the internet and electricity. B) Imagine if people were forced to stay home and had nothing to but talk to each other or the dog, lol. Especially after being connected to the world so easily these past couple decades.

    SW WA State

    I lived in a cabin something like that for the first year I was in Australia. We did have internet, but we didn't have electricity ... except that which was created by our generator at first and later by our solar panels. So not much. We didn't have a TV until right toward the end of that year, and instead listened to the radio.

    Right now, I have to use the internet for university, but I am really tempted to take an internet break somewhere remote and quiet when I finish. I have taken short breaks of a day or two now and then.

    Did ASAP Band Camp DVD. The gal cancelled the extremepump class. (boo) The plan for tomorrow is to do another section of the Rocking Body DVD. Wonder if the gal will cancel the water aerobics class? If she does, I’ll just go early and do my own thing. But that isn’t on the book until Friday.

    Vince said he got an email from a pool supply place to the effect that the chlorine in a pool will kill the virus so your pool is safe.

    Heard an interesting tidbit about all this coronovirus. It said that people who were constantly worried about 911 had a higher incidence of heart problems. People who constantly checked the news about the Boston marathon had more anxiety

    Right now I’m making the second batch of greek yogurt that I’ll put in the freezer. I used the starter from yogurt that I’d previously made for another batch and for some reason I wasn’t too thrilled with the consistency so this time I’m using commercial plain yogurt as the starter

    I must have slept weird last night because this morning my neck is hurting. Well..I’m sure it’ll go away

    Got a load of laundry in right now. I suspect that right now the house is going to be really cleaned. There isn’t much else to do. But a good time to get caught up on those little things I’ve been meaning to do.

    Mary – my way of dealing with all these posts about coronavirus is to just skip them. To me “what will be will be”. Take reasonable precautions – wash your hands, don’t touch your face, sneeze or cough into your sleeve, things like that. After that “what will be will be. If God means for me to get it, nothing else that I do is going to change it. HE has the final word.

    I’ve asked Vince to think of something regarding opening the pool that I can do. I know that he has some things that he has to do. We both have to take the pool cover off, but I can hose it down. Anything to get started – and to keep me from being bored which translates into boredom eating. It’s nice and cloudy right now so maybe I can put down the pavers sand. Put down the weed killer yesterday. Now to wait for it to do its thing. I did it myself last year. In a way, it’s good for me to do it because I use more (which translates into less weeds) than Vince uses

    What would I bring to a cabin? I’m assuming that it has running water and bathroom facilities. Is there a food store nearby? Then I don’t need to bring paper goods or food. My laptop and exercise DVD’s so I can play them even if I don’t have Internet. I’m assuming it has electricity so I can charge my laptop. Probably a plate, fork and mug. A pan for cooking food in. Matches and a can opener. Something to do (knitting, x-stitch, my tablet on which I’ve downloaded books, crochet), some source of light (hurricane lamp, lantern which uses rechargeable batteries, charger for the batteries, blanket (or sleeping bag). If I take a pet supplies for the pet (food etc)

    M – if no mass goes on for 2 – 6 months, I count the collection money at the church for April and June. Looks like I won’t be doing that either month. I do volunteer at the Green Room and they’ve postponed the latest show. Wonder if they’ll postpone for 2 – 6 months? Guess we shall see. My concern is still for the soup kitchen. Donations may be down, more people will go there. But on the bright side this will happen during the summer when gardens produce so they might get more fresh produce.

    Kylia – wonderful of your gd. You should be very proud

    Believe it or not…senior bowling isn’t cancelled. I suspect there’ll be a lot of people who don’t come. Wonder what Wayne (owner of the bowling alley) is going to do with the 100 people congregate ruling. Guess if he’s included is somewhat of a gray area. Like malls are exempt. It’s not like you HAVE to go to a mall. Really, you don't NEED to go to a fast food place. I can understand supermarkets being exempt.
