Hello everyone. Nice snowy day here in Iowa. So ready for
deck weather. Being outside sure helps during this Covid 29 pandemic and its
stay at home and social distancing. Spring flowers are under snow today.

So glad our little grocery store 6 miles away is doing
curbside pickup. Fareway, 20 miles away, is where we do our major shopping,
also, is having curbside pickup. You call your order in and you pick it up two days
later. Gets us out of the house for a bit. And our Pharmacy brings it to your
car, too. So on we go.
Just being thankful that all of our family, so far, is doing
well. Everyone is now working from home except the Granddaughter working in a long
term care facility. We did our Easter gathering via Zoom. It was fun to see
everyone and visit a bit. 30 people do make for a large zoom gathering. lol. So
glad for technology that lets stay in touch with family and friends.
Praying for a sunshiny day soon. That always make everyone
feel.
Take care and stay safe.

Hi everyone. Hope this is finding all of you safe and sound.
Been just a bit over a week since I blogged. Boy, hasn’t things changed in that
time. Our state isn’t in a lock down yet but it looks to me like it is coming.
Two son in laws have documents to keep in their glove compartments for proof
that they can be out and around. Most of the grandkids are working from home.
Thankful for that. One granddaughter works at a nursing home. We worry and pray
for her. Another is on two week paid leave,a Covid case in her building. Another
worry. Another one has to meet with her clients, mostly by video, but not
always. They are working now for her to do videos from her home. Hoping that is
up and running real soon.
The weather was so nice for a few days. We were able to walk
the trail. Felt good to get out of the house and feel the sunshine and hear the
birds. Spring was here, or so we thought. Two mornings ago heavy freezing rain
woke us.
I managed to safe these gals from the freeze that was coming. And was rewarded in the morning with blooming daffodils. A ray of sunshine.
Spring left and hasn’t returned yet. Back indoors with the fireplace
going. Sounds like spring will make a return for a couple of days next week
before rainy and cooler weather gets here. Plan on taking advantage of the
couple of days we get.
Tomorrow is Palm Sunday. It will seem so strange to go to
Mass sitting in my easy chair. And Easter will be on the sad side this year.
For many years, over thirty, our family has gotten together on Holy Saturday.
Started when the girls were in college and we have gone from the six of us to
over 30 last year. It won’t seem like Easter this year. But we are thankful
that we are all well and hope and pray that continues.
Have a good week. Stay in, Stay safe.

Boredom will be setting in for a lot of us. Especially the
kids. They are used to being around friends and having a structured routine
during the day. With schools closed and most working from home, “cabin fever”
can be real.
Here are some sites for all ages that might help pass the
time and still be educational.

Good morning,
Hope this finds all of you in good health during this
horrible time for our country and the whole world. We have chosen to stay in as
much as possible. A good time to catch up a few things, like this blog. Sad that
something like the COVID19 makes us all realize what is important and life.
Hubby and I have played some games. Something we did in the
beginning of our marriage because we had no money for anything else and moving
to a new town, no friends. lol
In the year since I have updated a lot has changed in our
family.
We have two great grandkids, William 1, and Lucy 2 and a
third boy due in July.
We had one more grandson get married, another getting
married in October.
Seven grandkids are now home owners.
All 13 grandkids and spouse/ significant others are
employed. Only one so far isn’t at the moment. She worked in the office of the
college she attends which is now on line.
We are all very fortunate at this time, that a family and
friends are safe and healthy.
Hubby has the Yahtzee out, so it must be time for our
morning Dr. Pepper and a game of Yahtzee.
Take care all of you. Enjoy this time with your families. And remember to practice social distancing if you go out and hand
washing. Stay safe.
Rose
