Hi Sue,
I’m glad that you got on a list. I think things will start moving faster in the next few weeks.
Greg and I got our first shots yesterday. They let us go in together at Walgreen’s.
It seems it’s either feast or famine because as soon as we signed up with Walgreen’s I got emails both from Mercy health and Northwestern health saying that they are now taking appointments.
We got the Moderna shots so it’s a month before the next one. My arm is a little sore and there’s a red spot on it but that’s all I see so far. I had to wait a half hour instead of 15 minutes before I could leave because of my reaction to the flu shot. I wanted the Moderna shot because that’s the one that Dolly Parton helped fund. I’m a big Dolly fan. She also is a big supporter of reading for children.
We are not big fans of corned beef and cabbage so I don’t make it. The only time we eat it is if we go to a Saint Patrick’s Day party where it is being served. lol
Here is a picture of us wearing our shot stickers. lol

Colleen,
have you been watching the Masked Singer? They tricked us the first week! lol
I hope Nick gets back soon as I much prefer him to Niecy.

Hi Colleen,
The little ones really do seem to wrap Ron around their fingers. I think that is so sweet.
I hope that Melissa will continue to like her job.
Actually even when my kids were little many of the other Mom’s worked. Or at least went back to work after the kids became school age. I was one of the few that stayed home permanently. And that was basically because when Greg and Dan started their business our kids were about two and three and Greg worked such long hours that someone had to be around to watch them.
Jenny said that Lachlan won a McDonald’s gift card from school for knowing 25 more digits after pi 3.14.

Hi Adele,
Jenny doesn’t start until next week. I hope that she likes it too as the benefits are much better and she is really looking forward to working from home. As you know it’s always both exciting and nerve racking to start a new job. I know she is a conscientious worker so I feel that she will do well.
That storm was bad in Colorado and Wyoming but we just got a couple inches which I hope will melt as the temperatures go back up.
I hope Gary will be home and on the mend soon.
Big hugs and prayers for you and your family.
Gail

Adele,
I will be praying for Gary.
I hope that you got good results from the urine and blood tests that you had last week.
We are getting our shots on Wednesday.
Hugs,
Gail

Hi Colleen,
That is such a good idea to give Grayson the wagon for Easter. I’ll bet that he will love it. I can just picture Ron having to pull him around in it.
I’m surprised more kids don’t get hurt on trampolines. We had one when the kids were older and then Jenny has one for her kids.
Jenny’s friend and ex SIL had a pool put in her yard at the end of last summer so I expect our grands will want to go to their aunt Kelly’s a lot this summer.
Well Melissa must really like Tennessee if she wanted to move back so I’m sure she will try her hardest to make it work for herself and the kids. Had she been working or will she have to find work?
Did I tell you that Jenny will be changing jobs. She will still work in accounting but for a bigger company. She will have to go into the office for the first month and after that she will be able to work from home. So that will be great for her with the kids. She won’t have to drive in bad weather in winter and there are additional benefits that she doesn’t get now. Of course now we won’t get her employee discount on new appliances. lol Plus they just gave her a new refrigerator for free just because it had a scratch on the side. They are going to miss her I am sure.
We probably won’t see them for Easter but maybe by the end of April we can.
We just got our appointments for our first shots today-we are getting them on Wednesday for Saint Patty’s day. We will Irish jig to Walgreens. I knew if we waited a bit we could get them closer to home. So many people we know drove long distances to get there’s but things seem to be opening up more now.

Hi DD,
I had read about Antonella on the QVC forums. I am so sad for her as she is such a nice woman. She has had a rough year with both her and her husband losing their jobs and now the cancer diagnosis. She has lots of people praying for her and supporting her. I hope that she will be okay.
I had read that the boat was a sailboat not a houseboat and that they had planned on sailing up and down the eastern coast depending on the weather. I read that it was something that they had always wanted to do. I don’t know how feasible that will be if she is having treatment. I saw pictures of her house that they sold. It was gorgeous-like a mansion. I sure would hate to give that up. I hope she has some sort of insurance.
It’s nice that Snowball is finally warming up to you. She’s a good companion.
We may be getting snow or sleet later today. Nothing like Colorado though.
Do you suppose those tulip bowls are old corning wear. They sure are bright and cheerful looking.

Hi Adele,
Well the gall bladder test was fine so now we are still trying to figure out what is causing the stomach aches.
The darn test took about an hour and I had to lay there flat on my back. I was okay until about the last 15 minutes and then I just lay there wishing for it to be done with. I haven’t actually heard from my doctor yet but i already got the online report.
Greg is starting to bend the sides for the next guitar.
I am used to him being around all the time now. If he goes back into work a couple days a week after he gets his shots it will be weird again.
You know we have known people who got really sick but the only people that we know of that died were relatives or friends of friends-not anyone that we knew personally.
My SIL sends photos from Florida and when you look at those it’s like covid doesn’t even exist. It’s a whole different world. People out without masks, eating in restaurants, visiting. It’s like we live in two different worlds.
I didn’t hear the president’s talk last night. It must have been pretty short but it did mess up all my recordings. lol
I just feel so much better with him in charge and facing the covid crisis.

Hi Adele,
Thank you for the prayers. I am tired of having a stomach ache so I hope they can get this figured out.
You had a lot of sad news the other day. I hope today is better.
You will be getting our warmer weather tomorrow I think.
We are supposed to get rain today.
Greg came in yesterday after walking around outside and said the distance to the end of the property has gotten longer. lol
Now every day he goes down in the basement and uses his virtual reality thing to box. I can hear him grunting down there when he is doing it. So he is using it for exercise. Then he comes up and tells me about the different guys he fought. At least he knows how to keep himself occupied.
He is also starting on guitar number four-although as soon as the weather warms up he will do mostly outdoors stuff as that is mostly a winter project.
