WELCOME APRIL

Hello, friends!  I hope you are all well and staying safe in this scary world we are living in.  Joe and I are both fine.  We are staying safe in our home only going out to get food and medication.  Even Joe's doctor appointments have been over the phone.  It's sort of nice to not have to drive all the way to the Veteran's Hospital, sit around for an hour or so, and then drive all the way back.  His doctor called him this morning and in 10 minutes everything was done.

Here's my temperature blanket as of yesterday.  It is getting big.  It now covers from my shoulders to almost my waist.  Joe still tells me to keep working. Can I slap him now?  Ha, ha!  Instead of making a border around it this year, I am leaving the ends on the side to make a fringe.  It will be easier and I like the way it looks.

So let's look back on this past month and see what happened in March.

It began with a great time hanging out with my friend, Donna.  We had such a good time and were going to do it again this month.  Well, guess that will have to wait.  But we will do it again as soon as we can.

Then by the middle of the month the Coronavirus struck.  Our whole lives have changed.  From closures to now we are under a Shelter at Home order where we are not to go out unless it is to get food or medical help.

I really miss going to the nursing home on Mondays.  Especially today when one of the ladies, Jeane, turned 100 years young.  We were able to see her on TV having her family visit her by waving to her through the window of her room.  I can't wait to get back to seeing them and giving her a card that we are having the entire church sign for her.

I miss teaching the Ladies Bible Study too.  Can't wait to get back to that.  I guess I really should be getting my lessons ready during this down time.

I did get my first ice cream from the ice cream truck.  That was nice.  Of course, there are no ice cream trucks going around now at all.

Other than that there is not all that much going on.  I want to spend my time usefully, but it's all catching up and sleeping.  I sleep so much because of my medication.  I am seeing my doctor next week and I hope she will change it to something that I can use with fewer side effects.

Here is your calendar picture for this month.  This is a picture from a tulip farm in Holland.  It's so pretty.  I love tulips.  All of mine are up and about to bloom.  I can't wait.

I am going to end for now.  I have some other posts in the works, so you will hear from me later this week.  Be safe, everyone.
