So, Sister Patti said to me today- “you haven’t blogged in awhile?” My response was that ” I had nothing to say” to which she laughed and laughed. Hmm…maybe she knows me too well?!
Along with every one else, we have learned new phrases and societal rules like “shelter in place” and 6 feet of separation and all the other restrictions and requirements in our world these days. Luckily, we had an ample supply of toilet paper before the run on that, but we could have used some hand sanitizer. Patti did find a recipe for making your own so we now have disinfectant wipes, thank you very much Sis!
The weather temps have been warming up here nicely and we are anxious to get working on the yard- HOWEVER- we have also had way too much rain making it quite impossible to do much. I have started some seeds indoors and one way of the other, we will have veggies planted in a week or two! And of course—flowers!! don’t forget the flowers! One chore that we are not enjoying is mopping up after the dogs. With all the puddles and soggy ground, it is next to impossible to get them cleaned off well enough to not track all over the floors. And playing ball with them is pretty much a no go item at this point also.. We will all rejoice with hot weather and drier skies!! I wonder if the outside temps will affect the virus? I seem to remember reading something about it, that it did not like heat. Well, if that is true, come on Mississippi summer!!
Another big plan we had for this spring–A garage sale! yippee—oh but wait…can’t even get a garage sale permit with city offices closed….and of course not a good idea with the risk of infection. Our corner of the world is relatively virus free (so far) but still…that whole idea is on hold for now. We are all going to have so much to do when this “thing” is past us!
I hope everyone is well and following the new guidelines as well as possible. We have braved the groceries a few times and have at least enough food for a couple weeks. A lot of shelves bare in the stores here. Hamburger was an especially difficult thing to find. One store had it on sale-Saturday only- however the line to get hamburger was practically out the door. Needless to say, I decided we didn’t need it that badly. One can live without hamburger and quite a lot of other things too. We won’t starve! A favorite in our house is good old Campbell’s tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches! And the occasional supper of pancakes are a weekly meal also! Do you’all have a stand by–easy fixin’ meal that is always on the menu? This might be a good time to exchange recipes?! Oh and Patti found a lady that sells fresh eggs too! We are gradually finding our way around our city–oops don’t tell anyone–we are spose to be staying home LOL
Keep Smiling! This too will pass.
Couple of weeks ago in Costco I tried to get canned tuna and chicken and they were out…What I am hurting for now is yeast….I understand there are many new bread makers out there..that is a good thing! Other than yeast we are doing well. To tell the truth I have never minded to just stay home…there are so many books to read, so much music to listen to….not ever been much of a tv watcher but there are some interesting things..I record and then I can scoot past the commercials….and there is cooking and baking! Good to hear from you girls. Happy for you!♡
I was in Bismarck today for thyroid checkup and checked out Sams Club. No toilet paper there so good thing I have enough for awhile. Paper towels must have just come in as most carts had a big case of them. Didn’t need them either! There was lots of meat but a limit of one on everything and lots of milk, too.
I needed tuna which is my stand by recipe. Mixed with a little chopped up onion and some salad dressing and that is my go to….good on crackers or in a bun with some lettuce! That is about as close to fish as I get except for shrimp!!
Was less traffic on the road because of the virus scare but noticed some were taking advantage of the beautiful weather and were headed to the river with boats and campers. Suppose to be even warmer tomorrow-60’s they say…we will take it!
