Our poor scout house has gone unused since Covid-19 started. Our weekly meetings have been suspended and the only visitors were families who mowed and committee leaders at a recent committee meeting. Bill noticed that the siding was looking pretty bad. Mold, mildew, tons of spider webs, dead bugs and dirt had taken over. About […]
Bishop Siegel celebrated the opening Mass at Memorial. This rite has changed a lot since the pandemic started. Actually, Mass is the same but it’s the way we attend and participate in Mass that has changed. In the past, school Mass was a close contact gathering. Yesterday only the seniors attended in person while the […]
Happy Fourth of July! It was a warm day here today, in the 90s and humid. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect weather for a long midday walk? Of course it does! With water on our backs and my lunch packed, we started on our journey. We parked as close to the beginning as we […]
My last haircut was February 25th, 2020. One hundred thirteen days later, I finally got another one. Since I usually have a haircut every three weeks, I was 92 days late. My hair would not be considered long by many, but for a short hair gal, I was beginning to feel like Rapunzel. One of […]
Before I talk about the sewing I did today, I want to say how nice it was to see people we knew at church today. We zoomed in from home but this was one of the first weekends when the congregation was invited back into the physical building. I have missed my church community. (Many […]
Joey’s quilt is now basted, partially quilted and will soon need to be bound. I looked through all of my stash for a coordinating binding I had nothing that would do. That necessitated a trip to Joann. For some reason, I find that when I’m looking for something specific, there is nothing at the store […]
Today, like yesterday, started with an early morning walk. For some reason lately I have not been sleeping very well and a walk is all the energy I can muster. Kim texted me as I headed out the door and we got to speak for almost an hour. Being two hours ahead has its advantages […]
Mason got an early start out the door today for his 8:30 AM training at Holiday World. Walker was kind enough to drive him for me since I had an 8:50 AM dentist appointment that I didn’t want to miss. When the pandemic hit and the dentists’ offices closed, many appointments were cancelled. Unfortunately, Bill […]
I got an early start on the day because I had plans to meet a friend at 7:30 am for a little socially distant knitting. I love the Tuesday mornings when I wake up to my friend Cori’s podcast. Her episodes are just about an hour and she is full of great content and stories […]
It was nice to have a three day weekend. In some ways, it didn’t feel like a long weekend because everyone is home together so much of the time but since Bill has been working more again, it was a treat to have his company. The morning was delightful. I read my morning meditations and […]
