Still
spending most of my time at home. I have
finished the two lap quilts I have been making. I did the quilting myself with
my regular sewing machine. No one around
here is doing long arm quilting right now so I had to improvise. Didn’t turn out too bad.
This
is mine:
This
is Jana’s. I actually took a picture of both sides of Jana's. I forgot to take a picture of my reverse side. It is also Christmas design.
I
have started working on my Twelve Days of Christmas wall hanging. Here is a
picture of what I have done so far. I
took it with my phone and I am not very good at taking pictures with my phone.
I
watch a lot of videos on You Tube and then I improvise as to what I want. I don’t always follow the directions.
I
have several other projects in the works, but I can’t tell you what they are.
It’s a secret. Christmas gifts.
I
am almost finished weeding the azalea bushes.
I have one more area to tackle.
It is mostly those vines. I keep
putting it off, but I guess I better get it done. A couple of days ago Kevin
and Renea went to Lowe’s. While there
they bought me some potting soil and flowers to plant in my containers. Now I just have to get that done.
Still
ordering my groceries from Kroger and picking them up. This works just fine. Last week I had to get gas (I hate their new
pumps). Worked out well. I wore my mask and gloves. I noticed most of the women pumping gas did
the same. The men not so much.
I
had my six month checkup with the cardiologist yesterday. Nothing has changed. Still have the same problems, but they have
not gotten any worse. Of course, you had
to go through a check point when you enter the building. They have one door to enter and one to
exit. When you enter the nurses there
check your temperature, ask a lot of questions, then ask why you are
there. They then put a wrist band on you
with the information as to who you are going to see. Everyone had on a mask and practiced social
distancing. Worked out quite well.
I
noticed while driving to and from his office that there was a lot more traffic,
and a lot more businesses were open. The
restaurants were still drive thru only.
I
stopped at the bank to make a deposit.
They had four lanes open, and all were busy. You still could not go inside. Next stop was Walgreen’s to pick up my medicine
refills. I was shocked that it only took
me five minutes to go thru their drive thru.
I had planned on at least an hour.
I have never gotten thru there that fast. Maybe because they were allowing customers
inside.
Still
attending Mass online. Our church has
not opened yet. I even checked their
sister church and they are not open either.
That church is St. Joseph and located in Ft. Mitchell. There were several Masses listed on their
website, but it didn’t say they were or were not open. Not sure if any of the other Catholic churches
are either. I do know that several
Baptist Churches and Landmark Church is open.
The all have to abide by certain regulations. The Archbishop in Mobile has said the Catholic
Churches can open, but must follow certain regulations.
Stay
safe and healthy y’all. I sure am trying
to do so. The only people I see on a
semi-regular basis is Kevin and Renea. No
hugging though.
