A fitting post

I think you will enjoy these. We have to keep smiling. 😀 Just think, if it wasn't for Coronavirus we probably wouldn't have had our Zoom meeting. We should definitely do it again, and hopefully all can join in!








































Have a good healthy week everyone!

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. All is well around here, we are staying in the house for the most part, although I did go to the grocery store on Thursday. I am beginning to get a little stir crazy but have managed to keep busy. 


Yesterday we had 4 inches of snow. It was beautiful but I am ready for the warmth of spring!




I believe Duncan is thinking, " wake me when it's over! " 




It hasn't been all bad. My daughter decided to get silly yesterday and made me laugh!




I have been spending time cooking. We haven't resorted to eating canned soup yet. 😀











Yesterday I found this note on my front door. It made me smile.


I wrote her a note back and told her we are just fine. 😍


I hope everyone has a good week and we are back to normal soon.

I am happy that our virtual visits can continue!

A Little Levity




There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.


There once was a runner named Dwight 
Who could speed even faster than light. 
He set out one day 
In a relative way 
And returned on the previous night.


What happens to a frog's car when it breaks down?  It gets toad away.


Can a kangaroo jump higher than the Empire State Building?
Of course. The Empire State Building can't jump.


There was a couple who in their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start writing things down so they don't forget. They went home and the old lady told her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream. "You might want to write it down," she said. The husband said, "No, I can remember that you want a bowl of ice cream." She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream. "Write it down," she told him, and again he said, "No, no, I can remember: you want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream." Then the old lady said she wants a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top. "Write it down," she told her husband and again he said, "No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top." So he goes to get the ice cream and spends an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes. He comes out to his wife and hands her a plate of eggs and bacon. The old wife stares at the plate for a moment, then looks at her husband and asks, "Where's the toast?"


A mom texts, "Hi! Son, what does IDK, LY, & TTYL mean?" 
He texts back, "I Don't Know, Love You, & Talk To You Later." 
The mom texts him, "It's ok, don't worry about it. I'll ask your sister, love you too."


I was wondering why the ball kept getting bigger and bigger, and then it hit me.

What a Week!

I don't know about you, this week seems a month long.  My stress level is through the roof. I'm worried about running out of toilet paper, and my kids will be be home for the unforseeable future so I'm worried about having enough food. I know not to have the news on all the time, but what I hear has made it hard not to panic a bit.

I'm sure you are all taking precautions to stay healthy. What things are you doing to maintain your sanity? Books, Netflix, cooking...? How is everyone managing?


We're watching TV then going to bed early (the time change was especially hard for me this year). DH and I binged on Homeland (the new season started a few weeks ago!) and are plowing through The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which we both absolutely love. I've also been reading gardening blogs, looking forward to the spring when I can be outside working on my garden. This arrangement is my absolute favorite!!

You are all in my thoughts. Let's share what we are all doing to stay sane during these very uncertain days.

Iceland

My son and daughter-in-law recently visited Iceland. They had a wonderful time and really enjoyed it.   Here are a few photos they shared with me. 

















They know I love dogs , so they took a picture of this handsome boy 😊



Have a great week everyone!
