Another quiet day.    The weather was OK.   In the mid to upper 60s. 

I did talk to a couple of people today, notably my cousin, Diana Cool, who is very interested in our ancestors and may get me back into updating Ancestry, my tree, along with my cousin, Colleen's daughter, Julie who has contacted me after seeing my  tree.     Since I moved to Oklahoma, I have been very BAD about working on it and probably have dozens of hints that I should update.   This may give me the push I need.

Tomorrow looks to be another quiet day.   I hope to catch Mass on the YouTube.    It has been very comforting to me.

Two rather uneventful days.    The weather is rather chilly and below normal.   But not bad, except for the wind.    Today one of my walks with Vita was really uncomfortable.    She is so low to the ground that it does not bother her much.       I might have just put her in the back yard this morning, but True Green did their thing yesterday at noon, that is not good for puppies at all.

Now I can let her out in back yard again.

It is hard to be secluded in my home, but I look at the families that cannot get food or are afraid of losing their apartment or home as this pandemic rolls on and on and realize how blessed I am.   I can even spend money on food for my DOG!!! would you believe?

I pray every time it enters my mind for the doctors and scientists to find a solution and cure and inoculation for this horrible disease.    In my 79 years I never envisioned such a far reaching and horrible pandemic.

I pray for you all.  
Love you all

I woke up this morning to 31 degree temps but it quickly recovered and I was able to walk my Vita sans jacket this afternoon.    Not really WARM but in the mid 60s.which probable feels warm to my friends from the north.

We are on such a roller coaster of weather.   One day 31 one day 70;    Oh well, at least we get the 70s.  Vita does not care except she does not like rain, thunder or really strong winds.     I don't think that is asking too much either.  

I went grocery shopping for myself today, wearing a mask of course, the first time in three weeks.   It felt good.   I am reminded of my Grandma Bowser when she was very old and Aunt Kathleen offered to go grocery shopping for her.     Grandma started to give her list then sighed and leaned back and said.   "I LIKE TO CHOOSE MY OWN MEAT."    Now I know what she meant.    We lose our independence one little item at a time.

Love you all

I woke up this morning to temperatures in the low 30's    They said there was snow.   Well, we , from
Wisconsin do not consider a few flakes as snow.   The ground was too warm to let it stay and there was not much.    BUT   30 degrees is still cold.

Home almost all day again.   I did go to the bank and got some money through the ATM.   What did we do before ATM.    I remember when it first started, if we were short of money, my boys would say "Why don't we just go to the money machine?"    I suppose kids still do that.

I kept my self pretty busy today and tomorrow have "permission" to go to the grocery store!!!

I joined Archbishop Coakley's Mass this morning.    Fr. Phil had other plans for the parish that I did not feel I could attend.

The rest of the day I was alone.    Bart and Jeff called me today and Jim is emailing me regularly so I feel loved and cared for.    Am I blessed or what!!!!!!!!

Didn't do a lot, but I did fix a lovely supper of Spanish Rice with hamburger and corn for my supper.

Happy Easter.    May the blessings of Easter bring a quick end to this Pandemic that has invaded out world.

Stay safe and be ready to be a good part of this world when it comes back to being.
