Hi Gail,
I think I just needed to say something and it made me feel better. Ron has had two deaths in his family and we have not been able to go to the funerals. It just really makes us feel bad because it was cousins that we were close to. They neither one died of the corona virus. So we felt really bad we could not go. I guess we will have to go to the grave sites later and put flowers on the graves.
Thanks for all the good advice you gave me. I guess I need to read Jeannes books again and cheer up. The only thing is I cannot get in the tub anymore so I will have to play with my duck in the shower. lol
We did not get the snow but we did have rain. I would like to have seen some snow. We never get the snow just rain. That might be one reason why it is depressing.
We have been buying a lot of food from QVC. They have some really good raviolas. We had some the other night and really liked them. We have not tried the chicken that they had the other night but have had the chicken wings from the bbq place that is on there. I cannot think of the name now. This is terrible my mind is going. We get their bbq sauce also. They had it on auto delivery so we got it that way. Corkys that is the name of it.
Thanks for posting the memes. They are so funny and make me smile like they do everyone else. Please keep posting them.

Hi Everybody,
I am really depressed today. It seems like we are on a death watch. Every day they come on the news and go on and on about the virus and deaths. It is like that is all we are doing is waiting for people to die. Why they do not talk about the survivors I do not understand. We should be thinking about that and we would not be getting so depressed.
It is a hard decision on what to do about having blood taken. I will be praying that you make the right choice and go to the right place to have the blood test. Do they takr blood at your doctors office? That is where I would feel safest having it done. They have a special room where they test you and you are not around a lot of people.
One nice thing about ham is you can freeze it also. We do that when we have a lot of left overs. I just make sure to put some of the juice from the ham so it does not dry out. That is just what I do.
So far we have been able to get meat and other things that we need. I do not know if it is because we live in a small area. We can get fresh meat from family also. Ron’s nephew has cattle and one of his cousin raises chickens. So far we have not had to get meat from them so we are doing fine.
Well that is about all from here. I hope that I did not hurt anyones feelings I just have been so depressed about this stuff.
Have a great night.
Colleen

Hi DD,
I had to sign in twice before I cold get on here. I wonder if they are going to start having trouble with the internet. That is all we need. We will really get bored then.
I have not noticed that Shawn has not been on lately. Maybe she is taking time off to be with her little one. I guess that her husban is having to work from home. Maybe she will get on again soon.
Your meal sounds good. We had ham, potato salad, and corn. I ordered that carrot cheese cake from Juniors and it was not all that good. I would not order it again.
I still have my decorations up also. At least they make the house look cheerful. I do not know what I am going to decorate with after I take the decorations down.
Our weather is cold here. I will be glad when it warms up again. So we can go outside and get out of the house. It is much nicer when we can walk around in the yard. It does make the day go faster.
Snowball really likes to hide. She must like being in the bathroom. Well that is all from here. Thank-you for posting the cheerful pictures they really brighten my day.

Hi Adele,
I will be saying extra prayers for Heather. This is so sad that this happened. That woman could have warned Heather and kept her from going thru this.
We are not doing much around here. The weather is cold and rainy. So we cannot even go out for a walk.
Have a Happy Easter.
Colleen

Hi Gail,
Christine is doing okay. She is not allowed to leave her house for 12 weeks I think. It may be longer I am not sure. She has so many health issues they consider it a risk for her to leave the house. She was not happy at first but she has accepted it now. She realizes it is for her good. I guess she is like anyone it is better if it is your own idea and not someone telling you.
I have not found any that I like yet. They have to be lined so the sun does not come in the window in the summer and the cold does not come in in the winter. The sun shines right in the window in the summer and it gets really hot in here. If I can find the insulated it would be so much better.
That is a shame that Brent did not say something to you about trying to find his natural parents. Well they are not really his parents you and Greg are. You have been there with him thru his whole life. So telling you would be the right thing for him to do. You have never told him not to look for them and I am sure that you and Greg would help him thru.
I got a picture of Aliza today she was showing me her finger nails. She finally let her mom paint them. She never would let Danyielle do that and she will not wear a pony tail or put a bow in her hair. Maybe now that they are stuck at home she will let Danyielle do more things with her. She is a character.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Is Good read just for books on Kindle and Nook? I was hoping that they sold hand held books also. That is really nice that you won another book. You are really lucky when it comes to winning these books.
I will be glad to get back out into the world. I never thought I would say this I want to go shopping. I need new curtains for the living room and dining room. I want to get the ones that are lined.
I need to get high lights in my hair also. We will just have to wait. Can you imagine how busy beauty parlors will be when we get back there. They will be booked for months. I imagine that it will be better for the people that have a regular person who does their hair.
I like the thought of having a glass of wine in each hand. That will keep our hand busy and we will feel pretty good also. We will have to drink the wine and then refill the glasses.
How is Brent doing? Did he get moved into his house? I hope so then he can be getting things done since we are all stuck at home. He will be able to get a lot done.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
We do all need prayers. I am glad that they found Sue’s friend. This is not a good time to be in the hospital. I am just really happy they found him. I bet his family was really happy to have found him.
I am really glad to hear that Heather has quit coughing. I am still praying for her as I am sure everyone else is also. Does she still live with you? I hope she does it is better for you to have your kids with you to help you out and you them.
That is so good that they did the Sader where you could be there with them. The internet can be good in some ways and bad in other.It had to be fun seeing everyone. I am sorry to hear about your niece still missing her dad. That must be even harder with not being able to go anywhere and be with people. That is really sad.
I really think that we will all be a lot closer when this is over. I think people will appreciate everything more and love our families more. We will be so glad to get together and able to go shopping. Maybe we will be a little kinder and think about people more. We will see.
Your soup looks really good. I like the puppy in the plant. That is really cute. Does the soup have chicken in it? They fix some really good food for this holiday.
I bought a carrot cheese cake for Easter. I do not feel like baking because it will just be the two of us and we will not eat that much. I got the cake from QVC it is a Juniors cake. I hope that it tastes good.
I am thank-ful that they cut that cast down on Owen’s arm. He can use his arm more now.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night.
Colleen
p.s. Poor Tillie. Maybe she will be better after she comes up for Easter and she can see everyone.

Hi Gail,
Where do you find all the memes? They are so funny .
I did not hear of the book of the Good Wives. Is it about the little women after they got married? If it is it would be interesting to find out what happened with each one and their families. Especially Army since she married Laurie. I know I spelled his name wrong. I guess it Lorie. You just know that Jo wrote books and plays and made it big. Meg had a lot of kids because she started out with twins.
I do not have Kindle or Nook. I like to hold the book in my hands. I guess I will never change. I am getting set in my ways. Oh my Lord I am getting to be like my mom.
There is not much going on here. We have just been sitting here watching our hair turn grey. It is happening really fast too. well that is all from here have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Men never do things the way they should. That is why they have wives to help them thru these times like these. I just hope that Heather is just coughing because of allergies.
I did not see your post to Sue so I will catch up on it later. We are going to go nuts waiting for them to tell us this is over with. I want to see my grands so bad. Little Aliza is getting so much taller and so cute. Danyielle sent me pictures of the kids. Owen is getting taller also and they cut his cast down. Before it was all the way up his arm but now it is below the elbow and mostly on the lower arm and wrist.
Oh well we will see them soon. If they do not forget who we are.
I am praying for Heather and everyone on here. I also say a prayer for all the people that have the virus. I know that we all are.
Have a great night and stay safe.
Colleen
