Ha! I finally found the Mother’s Day Card for pet Mom’s. I knew it was there someplace.

What a nice story about Inky. You guys took great care of him. I wish you could have a pet. It would be such great company for you-especially during this time.
Gailin reply to: Quacker Talk-May 2020 #110778Here’s a few funnies.
in reply to: Quacker Talk-May 2020 #110774I think I have a picture of the dogs now.
in reply to: Quacker Talk-May 2020 #110772Hi Adele,
Glad the threatening emails have stopped. The only good thing I have seen from this pandemic is that the robocalls have stopped.
I know. I can’t believe the people walking around standing close together without masks. What part of what has been happening for the last two months here don’t they get. People think they are invincible until they are not.We have turned into a society that seems to have no concern for the other guy. It makes me sad. As much as they say we are all in this together it seems like half the people don’t believe it and think it is all about what each individual wants. Maybe because I am the older generation I am just more cautious about this. But I also like to think I am wiser too. And realize how precious each and every human life is.
On another note. I love your new garden decor. I especially like the uncle Sam. Is he from the Q too? I can’t believe your neighbor’s kids won’t even go in their yard. I hope they get over that as it is good for them to go outdoors and play-especially now.
I know Jenny’s kids go in the yard and play. I sent them Amazon gift cards for Easter and I know one thing Kendall bought was a backyard volley ball set so I think they will be playing that. Their cousins two doors down could probably play with them as long a they social distanced.

We do pretty much the same thing. Go out to do our WalMart pickup for groceries and go there also for our meds. They bring them right out to the car. Same with the groceries. Those are basically the only places we have been other than driving through the bank. Greg goes to the apartment to clean and mow the lawn. Fortunately we are kind of homebodies even though we also like to get out and do things too. But we can always find things to amuse ourselves. Greg is getting an early taste of retirement. Although he is still working but he can only do so much from home so he is normally done by early afternoon. Usually it’s phone calls and computer work for him in the mornings. The golf courses are open but I have no idea if he will even want to golf yet. We’ll see. I’m sure there will be no league this year. I feel bad for the kids as I’ll bet the swimming pool won’t be open this year.
Most of all I am just grateful that the family is working and staying healthy. We have learned to appreciate much that we took for granted before.
Gailin reply to: Quacker Talk-May 2020 #110763Hi Colleen,
The new puppy is a girl. They named her Lucy. The other dog is a boy and his name is Luke.
We had a nice weekend-the weather was sunny and warm but this week we go back to the 50’s again. So it seems like we are going to probably go from 50’s to 80’s probably in one day.
I have no idea when we will ever feel comfortable going into a restaurant. I see all these things as being months away.
I’m glad you had a nice, if quiet, anniversary. Hopefully you got to at least talk to the kids on that day.
We did Facetime with Jenny on Saturday. It made me feel so much better just to see them.
Gailin reply to: Quacker Talk-May 2020 #110753HI Sue,
I totally agree with you about reopening. I think many places are doing it too quickly. I understand about people wanting to work but people are just going out now and totally ignoring wearing masks or social distancing. I think there are two kinds of people-half take it seriously and the other half just doesn’t care or doesn’t believe it’s a threat. I seriously hope none of those people who don’t seem to be concerned lose a loved one to this disease . as they will have to change their mind under devastating circumstances.
I wish you had a WalMart close to you where you could pick up your groceries. It isn’t ideal when you can’t see the stuff for yourself but for right now it’s better than having to go into the store.
I will see if I can find a picture of the dogs to post. Sometimes I have a problem getting stuff on here if it’s not in the right file on my computer. I’m not too tech savvy.
I am coming to accept that we will probably not be going anywhere this summer and will be spending it mostly at home. It’s just too scary to think of going out and coming into contact with someone who could be carrying the disease and possibly give it to us. I don’t necessarily like it but we will do whatever it takes to remain healthy even if people think we are being overly cautious.
Gailin reply to: Quacker Talk-May 2020 #110689Happy Anniversary Colleen and Ron!
