Hi Gail,
It is so good to hear stories about survivors of covid 19. He is 99 so there is hope for us older folks also. I am so glad that they are telling their stories also.It has been just so depressing listening to this every morning.
I am going to try and not talk to the girls in the dentist office this time. It will be better if I just do not talk their arms off. I do like the way they are running the office there. You never see another patient the whole time you are in there.
I was kind of worried about they are going to handle this with people that cannot take the flu shot. I imagine that your doctor will keep am eye on you and make sure that you are doing okay.
I can understand people wanting to go back to work but I do not get all the people going to the beach. It was so crowded and they were almost shoulder to shoulder there. I think if they want to go to the beach they would keep their distance and not crowd in together. There is no sense to that
That is funny about the ground hog sunning on your deck. That would be a shock to find one there. That is terrible that he is digging up all your flowers under your deck. They really can make a mess of the yard and garden.
I am not sure what is going on with the kids with their schools. I think that Owen still has more time to go the kids down here are done for the year. I think the ones in TN are done also. I would not have the patience to home school my kids. It has to hard for Jenny since half their classes are in Spanish. She is lucky that Ricky can speak Spanish and can help Piper. I really feel bad for Jenny having to do this.
They did let the beauty shops open up here but am not sure how they are doing this. I am going to wait a little longer before I go back. I just need mine trimmed up a little not sure if I am going to put any color in it or not. Will have to wait and see.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi DD,
That is good that they have put a guard outside your building.I guess that people think that they can get by with this stuff. It is probably because there are not as many people on the streets now so they can get by with it.
I like all the beautiful pictures. Those are cute ones of Jewel. She was so playful and so is Snowball. You are lucky to have two really cute fur babies. It is funny that Snowball likes to lay in the sink.
I just pray that this virus is contained soon. Everyone is blaming everyone else for this . I think that we need to stop that and just find a cure or a vaccine. I want to be able to do things again and get out of the house.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night night.

Hi Adele,
I can imagine that that this is really hard on you with all the death’s. I have been praying for you to get thru this. I wish they would show more people that have survived. They should not forget the people that have died but we need to see that there are survivors.
I hope they have a vaccine soon. It will be nice but I worry about Gail. I wonder if she will be able to have this shot since she cannot get a flu shot. I just hope that people who can take it will and the ones who cannot will be okay.
We had storms last night and are supposed to storm again tonight. I hope that they are wrong. I do not mind the rain but I do not like storms. I am tired of cooking also I want someone else to cook and eat there so there is not mess to clean up and the food will not be cold by the time we get it home.
Well that is about all from here. I better go before I depress you. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
These poor kids may never get to go back to school for a long time. They keep saying they will have to wait to start school. I guess that we will see in the fall.
We do not have any meat packing plants around us. They do have some places in St. Louis We do not have a lot of plants down here. There are just a couple of them and they are not in our town.
I know that you have lost some friends and people that you work with. That is really rough. I just thank God that we do not know of anyone it is hard to take.
Our hairdressers are working again here. I have not heard how they are doing it. I do not see how they can cut your hair or fix it if you have a face mask on. I can just imagine what your hair would look like with that mask on. They would have to cut around it. I cannot imagine what it would look like.
You have to read about the guy that was cured of corona virus. The story was on the news it was a happy one. It was just too long to write again. I wrote it in my post to Gail.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
The girls at the dentist office will probably stay away from me. Last time I talked their arm off. I had not been around anyone for such a long time it was nice to have someone to talk to. The dentist wont be worried he will have my mouth open and will have all his tools in my mouth so I won’t be able to talk. They may wire my mouth shut. lol
I have books to read and word search, dot to dot books and a tablet to play games on. I still get bored. I think I mostly miss the grands. I want them to come over and just spend the day outside. No one knows when this rain will stop. We are supposed to have more storms tonight. I want it to just be nice out day and night. I like to sit on the deck and look at the stars.
I hope everything goes well for Brent and he can get in his house soon. They did keep him waiting for a long time. It will be nice for him to buy a home of his own and not paying rent.
I did hear some good news on TV today. There was a man from Colorado to do construction work and he got the virus. Well he had to stay in the hospital for I cannot remember how long. Well he got well and got to go back home and all the nurses at the hospital sent him a memory book. It had their pictures in it and they each left him a message. He was rally touched by that because now he could be names with the faces. He did not see their faces the whole time he was there. It was really nice to see someone that lived thru that. It was interesting to hear about him never getting to see anyone. He could just hear them talk. It was just so nice that he got to go home and that the nurses though enough of him to send that book to him.
I will let you know if they wire my mouth shut or if I can still talk when I leave. lol
Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
I know that the virus is real but I also know that there are rumor mongers out there also. As far as our state I think that they have been honest about how many have it and how many have died from it. We just live in an area that is not as heavily populated so naturally we do not have as many cases. Or it does not seem like it to a area that has a larger population. We do not know anyone that has had the virus but we know it is ou there. We wear masks andd have hand sanitizer in our cars and in my purse.
It is cold here still. We have had so much rain that it is driving me crazy. It will be so nice to see the sun. If we could just go outside and walk around without getting soaked.
I am tired of being bored. I have been sleeping a lot because I am running out of thing to do. I guess that I will go I am getting depressing Have a great night
Luv Ya
Colleen

Hi Everybody,
I am going crazy staying home. I am running out of things to do. It is so bad that I was happy to go to the dentist. I have to go again next Tuesday for a root canal. I am not dreading it as much as I should be. I just keep thinking that I will be out of the house for a couple of hours. I may start like going to the dentist.
The girls are going to come over if we can ever get a day that it is not raining and we can sit outside. I am ready. I just do not think the rain is ever going to stop.
Gail
Tell Greg that I said Happy Birthday! and Brent. I guess that I got this right. This is a good month for birthday. Kylie turns 21 this month. I hope your business is doing well. I love the meme with the banana bread. That would be interesting to have some one set that on the table to eat.I hope Brent gets his house. It is a shame that he was not in there now. He could have done a lot of remodeling. I hope you keep finding the memes to send they are so funny. I did feel sorry for the cat in the sleeper. He really looked unhappy.
Adele:
That was a good picture of Tille and her cake looks really good. She looked so happy. It did her good to see the kids. It was nice that their mom’s thought of it. That is terrible about ducks. They should stand behind their products or at least let you get in touch with the people from Martha Stewarts ware house. If they are going to be high priced they should stand behind their products. There are so many reports on the news that contradict each other. I have heard that they have made up the numbers of how many people have died in the states. That if you go to the hospital for anything if you are elderly the put a mask on you and call it covid 19. So what do we believe. We have to try and figure all of this out and hope that we get the right information. I will be so glad when we can get back to normal and live our lives.
Barbara:
I think it is pretty warm where you live now. Where would you go for warmer weather? My daughter loves living in TN. I think that is where they are going to move after he gets out of the service. They live in Knoxville now. She is not sure if she likes it as well as Cookeville. As soon as they moved everyone had to stay home and wear mask when they went to the store. The kids only were in school two days and had to stay home. So they did not have a chance to make friends. That was cute that Colin sent you a card. I am glad that your heard from your kids. Mine sent me a bouquet of flowers and a plant to put out in the garden. So that was a surprise when the woman came to the door to deliver the flowers. Ron grilled on Sunday also and bought the potato salad at a bbq place that we like to eat at. So there was no cooking for me.
DD:
Thank you for the anniversary wishes. We did have a nice day even though we stayed at home and were by ourselves. It was not what we thought it would be. Oh well that is life. It was a joke between me and my mom. I told her that she had to stick around to be at my 50th because I went to her’s. We use to laugh about it but as it worked out she could not be there. I really miss her. We have very few covid cases in the county that we live in. I am just tired of hearing the death watch and I think that they need to quit and start talking about survivors. That would be nice to help people to get out of their depressed moods.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and take care.

Hi Adele,
The ducks are really cute. You really decorate your yard and garden really cute. We do not put much of anything in the yard the dogs would get it. They like to chew on everything.
That was so nice that that the kids came to see Tillie. I know that she felt really good seeing them. It will be so nice when everyone can get together and not have to see each other at a distance. It will be nice to give the kids a big hug.
One pot dinners are the best ones to make. It sure saves on doing dishes. We have been eating off of paper plates so we can just throw them away. We have been eating a lot of lite meals because we are not doing that much. If we don’t we will look like plimps. I really do not want to do that. The hard thing is not to pig out on chocolate.
Do you ever make tv dinners? My mom use to make them and got me started. You just put your meat, potatoes and veggies in aluminum foil and bake it in the oven. Then everyone has their dinner and you can put their favorite veggie in each one. It tastes pretty good. The juice from the meat cooks into the veggies and gives them a good taste.
So you are going to get some of that snow. I hope that it does not amount to much. That will make the days dreary. We sure do not need any of that. Your meal that you are making for Tille sounds really good. She will enjoy that.
That is about all from here. Have a great day.
Colleen
