We just had our 49th anniversary! It doesn't seem possible, I don't know where all that time went. For an anniversary dinner, we ordered curbside from Olive Garden. Bonus, it was buy one, take one!
For a gift, Ralph picked out and I ordered an Apple Watch, the version that you can check your cardiac status, as well as all kinds of other fun things. It should come in the end of next week. He offered to buy me a gift, but there's nothing I want at the moment.
We had a raccoon visit the attic, but luckily Ralph banged on the ceiling and scared it out. We had exterminators out, and they set a trap, and Ralph fixed the hole in the roof. No results with the trap, which is good.
Look ma, no cast! She only had it on for 3 weeks, which is an eternity when you're six!
A finish! Winter Impressions was started when the kitchen was being redone. I got it all done but the back stitching, and it's been staring at me for over a year. I hate back stitch, it's so boring! I finally decided it's got to be done so I can move onto something else, so I forced myself to finish it. It does look nice.
Now I'm doing May on the temperature snakes. I've got Eddie's done, and will work on Jule's today. It's so hot and humid that the AC may have to go on today.
I'm reading a combo of my paperbacks, kindle books, and the occasional book from Overdrive. I'm reading two series by Ellen Hart, one by Victoria Houston, and the occasional single book. The library will be able to reopen with phase 2, when we finally get there.
Jersey's numbers are going in the right direction, and the Gov is gradually reopening things, but we still get 1000+ new cases a day. We're one of the hardest hit states, getting our cases from Europe via Newark Airport.
I'm finally watching some of the TV I DVR'd. I'm almost to the season finale of This is Us.
Day 60 something of quarantine. We went out a few times this week- to pick up a curbside grocery order, to get curbside dinner from Bertucci's, and to ShopRite to get the salad and paper towels (and another $100 plus of things) that we haven't been able to get curbside.
I told Ralph he's the only one I could survive being quarantined with, anyone else would get on my last nerve.
I finished this, and Ralph mailed it to my friend Pat, who is a pink person and fell in love with it.
I got Mother's Day gifts! We zoomed with the girls and their families Mother's Day night.
Yesterday I made lasagna in the crockpot, so good! But so much! This morning I divided it up and froze 3 portions, each enough for both of us to have dinner.
It's been in the 80's the last few days, but will drop back to the 60's and 70's this week. We changed out the flannel sheets for the cotton ones.
I'm back to working on the backstitching on a cross stitch project I did last year. So long ago that I can't easily find a pic of it.
And reading, of course. Lot's of reading, both on the kindle and older paperbacks of mine.
Jersey's numbers are improving, the state is starting to reopen. I'm waiting for the library to reopen, probably with curbside. Curbside is good, since I request books and rarely browse the stacks.
It's a sunny and beautiful Saturday! The Gov has allowed parks to reopen, as of today, with the caution that if people act like knuckleheads, he'll close them again. Our numbers are still high here in jersey, and it's heartbreaking and scary.
Tina cat is not worried.
Lucy, Daisy, Bob, Friday and Donald are all lined up!
Our local ice cream parlor is running a special! Not pictured are the four cones. Three pints of ice cream, two wet toppings, four dry toppings, jimmies, and cones.
My cousin posted this pic of my maternal grandmother, in 1966. That house dress, the hair and the glasses!
This poor kid fell and landed on her arm, fracturing the growth plate. We can't figure out why they braced her wrist, Manda is waiting for a call back. Ben thinks (and is probably right) that they looked at last years X-ray.
Snakes on a loveseat! The year and the snakes are 1/3 done, yardstick for perspective.
We just did our second grocery curbside pickup, we got about 90% of what we ordered. Our time slot was 10 a.m. and they called at 7.30 and said it was ready and could be picked up any time. So yay!
I signed up for Libby, the library app, and I've gotten a few books on my list from it. It sends the books to my kindle, which is great. I've been trying to read some of my own paperbacks also, so they can be donated.
I'm so glad to live in a state where the Gov is relying on science rather than emotion to decide when and how to get the state going again. I don't think we'll get back to a pre Covid state of life again until we get a vaccine. We'll keep using a mask when we go out, because somehow, when we weren't paying attention, we got old!
