Spring 2020
This has been an odd spring. We have had some really hot days and some really cool days. The pandemic quarentine still limmiets our travel and shopping, but I still try to get most of my groceries from Tilton's where they fill the order and bring it out to the car.
My flowers have been really nice so far this year. I'm waiting for daylily season to start, but I have had lots of color.
We have been to church twice. It is safe as everyone wears masks and we distance far apart. I'm tired of masking, but we have to stay safe.
I think I wrote about the church having a drive in to our driveway on our 65th anniversary complete with cake. Tomorrow we do the same to Bruce and Jean on their 60th anniversary.
Bruce and Jean came over and we sat on the deck in masks for awhile, then came in to eat tapioca, which Jean brought. It made for a nice birthday visit for Tom's number 87.

JUly 2020
We are now into our fourth month of knowing about the Pandemic Covid 19 and staying at home orders.
We wear a mask whenever we dare go out. Thanks to Tiltons market which loads my order in my car after I call it in, so we don't have to go into the store. I'm staying out of Walmart and other stores. We get by with what we have in store. We finally dared to go back to church . We watched on line and then listened in the car outside the church,but now we are inside with social distancing and all in masks. Our new Pastor Wilder is very good to preach and a good Pastor so far. I also like his wife Kortney, who attends every service in support and reacts with the people as much as possibe in light of the pandemic.
We greatly miss seeing our Arizona family, but know that flying is dangerous for catching the virus. We just try to stay safe, but life it pretty boring for those of us who like to go places.

I"m trying to remember places we went on various anniversaries, but after 65, it gets hard. I think number one we a Destin Beach in Florida. Others, but not nesessarily in order have been Biltmore castle in South Carolina, Kuenoff Gardens in Holland, CalawayGardens in Alabama, Various camping trips, Rafting down the Colorado River, Trip to Indiana, Cruises down the Danube and Rhine, Trip to Egyup, Trip to South Africa, Arizona, Florida, Carribean cruise, Cabin in Nova Scotia, and a big Fifty celebration at church with Chuck and Luella, many B and B's on the coast, San Diego, Canadian rockies, Nashville TN, Branson Missouri, London, Dallas, Sequaria, Hawaii, Tanglewood and Garrison Keeler, Death Valley, New York City,
That's all I can remember, but each one has been a blessing and this trip of 65 years, has been quite a trip. Thank you dear husband. I loveyou.

snow tonight in May
Yes, The weather man says snow will come tonight. I covered the lettuce in my planter on the porch, though it would probably be safe, except the snow may blow in,
What crazy weather. It's not enough that we are home bound because of the covid 19, but now we have to contend with snow. Actually, Tom and I are still well and we know of no one in our circle of friends that has the virus. We did have to let in the plumber this week because of a leak in an outside faucet but we wore masks around him.
Charlie is recovering nicely from his hernia operation yesterday. Beth stayed home and worked from home today. She went into her office the first of the week, but has been working from home since the stay at home order.
The tulips have all opened and I see new growth on all the shrubs, even the ones I put around rocks in the yard. the yard is full of yellow daffodils, forsythia and the yellow tulips. It looks like spring on this May 8 day.
I did another classic piece on facebook today. I should have counted all my videos, but lost count of the hymns. today I did a Bach prelude. Next Tuesay is still up in the air, but will be Beethoven or Haydn.

It is now April 25 and we are into about 6 weeks of stay at home orders. It is very boring. At first, I did a hymn a day on Facebook to help take up time as I had to practice as well. It's sad not to go anywhere and that includes church. W had a new pastor coming the end of May. I hope this Virus is better and we can go to church again. Tom and I are being very careful as he has so many health problems.
Brian came today and did some yard work. It was good to see something getting done outside though not much is showing life as yet. The hard snow storm just before Easter broke one of my azeleas out front. I"m very sad over that, but there are others that will be blooming sometime if it ever gets warm again. the orchid cactus are slow to open this year. I have one that is open.

Easter Week
With this virus wrecking havoc, the chances are slim that we will go to church on Easter Sunday. In fact, churches are closed. I watched the Palm Sunday service on line and will do the same for Easter Sunday.
Beth got 1000 masks for her clerks and will distribute them this week without going into the offices. Tom and I just stay put. I cook and we eat. Snow has melted so that I can walk the entire back yard to the rock wall on bare dead grass. Signs of spring are beginning, but no bulbs are blooming yet.
I'm still recording piano music on Facebook. It gives me something to do and I am also working on Childrens stories for Focus on the Family. I also do jigsaw puzzles on line. Tom and I are still speaking to each other and we also talk to the cat and dog, but no they don't answer.

Palm Sunday 2020
Yes it is Pam Sunday and we are under orders to stay at home, so no church. This coronavirus is wrecking havoc with our lives. I am posting music every day to give me something to do and people to listen if they want.
Today I was able to walk to the rock wall for the first time since last fall. The snow is in spots, but was clear most of the way. It's a way to get out of the house for fresh air. We are not supposed to go anywhere except for groceries, medicine or a doctor visit.
So far, our family is still safe. since everyone is staying at home, we are likely to stay safe.
Actually, Tom and I usually stay at home, so it's not too bad for us. We have the pets to talk to and Beth and Charlie come up some to visit.
Yesterday I made chicken and dumplings, a comfort food and today we are having red beans and rice and cornbread. I'm cooking all comfort foods.
