Good morning,
IZZY - I believe you'll have to go some to catch up with me and I adamantly REFUSE to be old! lol! Except when it suits me, of course.
JUDI - good to get those appointments in now. Dental offices here are now closed except for emergencies. My walking buddy was talking on the phone to the oral surgeon's office about an appt for an extraction when the word came in on another line. But they decided she is an emergency and will take her. As awful and scary as this virus is, it's kind of fascinating to watch it all unfold. Like a wreck from which you can't look away.
SUZ - I have no idea what our stores here are like here. I stocked up almost a month ago before the big runs and haven't been back. A week ago, while we were camping, the Fred Meyer in Astoria was well stocked with everything. Have fun sewing pillowcases! Charitable work leaves such a good feeling.
KATHY - I hope you were able to get to the store and get the things you need. Don't forget, if bread and flour are gone, maybe there's frozen bread dough left . . . If not, well - my doctor has been telling me to stop eating bread anyway so I guess this is a good time to start obeying her orders. lol!
JANA - just crazy about that earthquake! Glad you are OK and your son as well! Whew!
LORI - have you heard from YOUR son? Did you organize your sewing room? I am always doing that. But to REALLY change things around involves hubs, moving tall cabinets and earthquake strapping, and more. I hate to get into all that, so I usually only do 'little stuff'. Be careful cutting those summer porch triangles or years from now you may find all the extras you accidentally cut and have to make a second one!
MARY Q - you are so kind to offer your scraps and orphans. But have to say, I AM DONE. I've had enough orphans to last me a long time! But I'm happy to cheer you on with yours!
BECCA - good plan - stay home. Do you get your shots once a week? Twice?
Well, Tuesday we had the cops and yesterday the fire department. Bill says we're not having any trouble keeping ourselves entertained during this quarantine! We heard sirens and realized they stopped in front of our house. Because of the woods, all we could see were flashing red lights of fire engines. So we walked out to the road and found 2 engines, 4 smaller fire vehicles, 1 police, and lots of cones blocking the road right at our driveway. Some neighbors gathered. Apparently 2 houses down from us a landscaper took out a gas line with his excavator. We got to meet some new neighbors, got the number for a yard maintainance guy who
usually does very good work, and our excitement for the day. Between the virus, Vicki, and now the fire department, we are living high on adrenalin around here!
I got in some sewing, too. I worked on my log cabin blocks for the UGRR swap and somehow talked myself into signing up to do the bears paw block, too. So that is the project for today. After I do my new daily morning routine of using Lysol to wipe down both bathrooms, kitchen, bannisters, and all the light switches, phones, and electronics in the house. I also try to remember to put out clean dish cloth and kitchen towel every morning, too.
Stay in your sewing room and keep healthy!
