Another day at home.    Vita and I,at least, get out for walks.   But I miss people.

Catching up on stuff around the house.

Was home all day and it was windy and rather chilly.     Just as well, that virus is scary.   

I know that mine are well or at least ensconced in their homes.    Keep praying for good things.

Another day at home.    Vita and I did take two walks so I got fresh air and some exercise.    Bart stopped by with some wine for me as he knew I was running low and didn't want me to go out.    He described me to the clerk at S & W Liquor.     I suppose I should be embarrassed, but I am not.   They know me and told him what I get:)
At least somebody knows me in Oklahoma.

Been talking to an old school mate of mine.    We even were in the convent together.   She sent me a video of two of her grandchildren who do Irish Dancing.     Boy are they good and it was my only Irish entertainment this year.    I did make a batch of colcannon which I am still enjoying and received several cards from special people.  

Rain is now delayed for several days.   But the temperatures seem pleasant.

This is a really troubled, probably a mild word, in our world today.  Because of the Corando Viirus.   I feel rather trapped at home.    I am going to tell you a story that some of you might have heard before.

Many years ago, when Bret, my oldest, was about three years old, his father had broken his arm and was off work for several weeks.    It was a rough time, as I was not working then.

One day as I was hanging clothes out in the backyard (no dryer then), Bret was swinging on his swing set.    As he swung, he kept repeating this Mantra.   "Don't worry, Mom.    Everything will be OK.     Don't worry, Mom.    Everything will be All Right!"     

I can't tell you how comforting that was.   My neighbor heard him through her kitchen window and was in tears.    

Bret and I still say that to each other when things are bad.    Let's all say it to each other NOW.

Was cloudy but not rainy and a bit warmer today.   Vita and I had two decent walks, especially this afternoon when we went around the block.    It is supposed to rain for the next three days or so but the temperatures are going up.

Bart has requested that I not go anywhere.    We did cancel the Celtic Club St. Patrick's day celebration.    We are thinking of doing it next month.    The church has cancelled lots of stuff.    There is no bible Study on Wednesday and the Archbishop recommends that those who are in the areas of concern (AGE  Health) which I am both are requested to not go to church but watch mass on TV.   That is fine, but how do I participate in the supper of the Lord?:)

Oh Well, Bart is very concerned and checking on me at least twice a day.    I feel very treasured!!!

I got a phone project done today and I made scones.    Yea.   They smell good.
