Hi Adele,
Wrote you a post and then as it was posting it kicked me off and told me I wasn’t signed in. Second time this happened in a week.
Grrrrrr!
We have emailed so i have told you I am sorry for your losses. Hopefully today you will see something to make you smile-a pretty bird or a flower peeking through the earth-a baby’s giggle.
Greg reads your posts on Facebook and he remarked that you liked root vegetables. I said probably because they are a no fuss side. Put them in a pan season add some oil and bake. You can serve right in the pan. My kind of food.
Talking about shortages. The other week I tried to get tater tots for a recipe. None to be had. this morning I was reading a post on the Q boards and others can’t get tater tots either. Weird. I never thought I would see these types of things in my life. Life can really change on a dime.
Bobby will always remember his 50th-it will be remembered as an historic year. Happy Birthday Bobby!
Gail

Ha ha Sue,
I would bring you some bacon buns if we lived close. No trade needed. Internet is better today. Hope they fixed it.

Hi DD,
Yes I had read an article saying the QVC food shows have become extremely popular. I can see why as people are eating at home all the time now. I think I tried the potstickers years ago and wasn’t that crazy about them for some reason. Maybe I should give them another try as everyone seems to like them. Colleen said she had some good ravioli too but I don’t remember the brand. I know some days I am looking for something quick and easy as I am tired of cooking all the time. I suppose we could order out but we haven’t been brave enough to do that yet. Right now frozen pizza or pizza rolls have been our quick no fuss dinners.
I have heard from Adele a few times. She is also very busy doing things for the business right now. Yes, she is Adele the mother hen who always worries about everyone else.
Glad you are enjoying the memes. I’m trying to remind everyone to smile.
I love that half white half pink flower. I wonder what it is.
I’ll bet Snowball is good company during this time. Our daughter is trying to adopt a second dog since their other one passed and is having some trouble since the shelters are so empty right now. That’s good for the pets though. I check for her everyday and the right one will eventually come along.

Sue,
Thanks for the jokes. I appreciate them so much as we need things to laugh at.
Hope you are staying safe and healthy.
Greg made bacon buns again yesterday-I helped him stuff them. He had been waiting on the delivery of bread flour and yeast.
We had no internet yesterday until later in the day. It had been bad since the end of last week and then finally yesterday-nothing. it’s back but very slow. We called and they said they were working on it and basically there was nothing we could do but wait. They said they would fix the charges for the outage but that remains to be seen as it is an automatic payment on a credit card.

Sue,
I totally agree with everything you said.
Thanks for the Dollar General tip. I think Jenny had said she was able to get stuff there they she couldn’t get elsewhere.
That is awful about your doctor. And the people at the dinner party. That’s the problem-someone else can have it and be asymptomatic-but give it to someone else and get them very sick. Some people just can’t seem to get that.
Stay safe-stay healthy.

Hi Barbara,
So glad that you had a wonderful visit with the kids. it is hard to let them go.
I am not surprised that they called you. Our state has a call out for extra health personnel. I know you would like to help but with your health issues you know it would not be advisable. You can help most by staying safe at home right now. That’s what your kids would want you to do.
What does your son say about Los Vegas right now. It must be so eerie with the Casinos shut down. That city is always going 24 hours a day. It must be so very different.
I am always praying for all our Quackers.
We wear masks now too and gloves when we unpack groceries or pick up packages.
Getting groceries around here can be sketchy too. Flour is nowhere to be found. Did everyone just take up baking? I find that so odd.
I haven’t tried for toilet paper yet but do need paper towels. We shall see what happens.

Hi Colleen,
Glad you are enjoying the memes. I will keep posting as I have saved a pretty big selection.
I am sorry that Ron has lost two family members. Were they even able to have funerals as churches are closed so i didn’t think you could have visitations and services right now. So maybe the only thing that you could do was go to the graveside anyway. Maybe you could take a ride to the cemetery some day and leave flowers. That would be paying respect and also you would get out of the house a little bit even if it’s for a sad thing.
I have never tried the Q ravioli. It’s good to know that it’s good in case I ever wanted to order. I think we used to get the Corky’s ribs sometimes and I know we got the barbecue sauce.
Both Jenny and Greg have birthdays coming next month. I imagine we will be spending them apart. I think the worst part of this is not seeing the grands but once again better safe than sorry. We want to be around a long time to share their lives. so if we have to give up seeing them for several months it’s worth the sacrifice.

Hi DD,
No need to apologize. We are all entitled to our opinion here. I totally agree with you too. I understand that people want to get back to work but if we open up the country too soon we will find ourselves back at square one-so we need to be patient and ride this out for the greater good. The president is egging the protesters on because he wants the economy to open back up. It’s totally self interest as without a strong economy he sees his reelection going down the tubes. I really don’t believe he has the good of the people at heart. I have never heard him express condolences to all the people who have lost loved ones and that to me is something a president should do. These are real people with families who are dying-not numbers on a news report. Our governor always expresses sadness for the losses-it is the kind thing to do.
I too would rather be safe at home than six feet under or fighting for my life on a respirator. I don’t know that I will feel totally comfortable about going out again until there is a vaccine.
I think the reopening of the beaches in Florida at this point is just silly. it seems like a recipe for disaster. I hope you are enjoying the Disney channel. It sounds like fun.
I love the basket of kittens. So cute!

Hi Adele,
The rainbow is awesome! It’s even a double rainbow. I’ll bet NY needed to see that. Thank you for the picture.
I love rainbows almost as much as butterflies. Rainbows and butterflies-of course I was a hippie. lol
Well Greg and I had a big date yesterday. We drove through the bank-with masks on. lol One has to see the humor in that.
Then we drove over to our local WalMart to pick up drugs after we robbed the bank. lol You go to a parking spot and park and call the number and they come out with your prescription and run your credit card right there while you stay in your car. They always give pause when I pick this med up because it’s 300 dollars for 12 pills with insurance. It’s a three months supply for me though. I have trouble taking the generic so we have to do it this way. I can imagine when we stop having private insurance and switch to medicare they will have a fit and my doctor will have to jump through hoops to get them to cover it. But look at all the years we saved them not having to pay for us as we are 71 and 70 and not on Medicare yet. Not that they will care. lol
I must say I have been guilty of buying those quarantine snacks too. Both salty and sweet.
Tell Bobby he’s a killjoy-you tried to do something nice by not having him go out and then he tells you about the delivery guy. He could have kept that info to himself. I don’t think we will be going back into a grocery store for a long time. Our local WalMart doesn’t have the grocery pick up so we have to drive to the next town over to do that-but hey-what else are we doing anyway. lol
Gail
