Stupid Virus

I am finally taking the time to update my blog.  It has been kind of depressing lately with all the news about the coronavirus.  I am doing my part by staying home.  Cancelled all my doctor appointments and rescheduled for May.  Cannot go to Mass so I am live streaming from St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in Cincinnati, OH. Finally received word today that St Patrick’s (where I go to Mass) is now closed.  They will be live streaming Mass.  They have also cancelled all meetings, etc. 

However, one bright note, I am getting a lot of quilting done.  I finished the quilt-as-you-go quilt that I started taking lessons to learn how to do. It turned out much better than I expected.  The best thing I can say is I learned a lot.  Now I am working on a set of placemats.  I saw a pattern and decided to try to make them.  It gives me a chance to try something new and, hopefully, learn a few more things. I found another pattern for placemats that I want to try after I finish this first set. Then it will be on to several quilts.  I am taking advantage of this quarantine.

I am also doing a lot of reading.  I am watching television, just not the news!  All I get are opinions and not much news.

We now have mosquitos.  Not your average mosquitos.  Alaska size mosquitos.  The kind that could carry off a grown person.  I guess it is because of all the rain and flooding.  They are awful.  I even have birds in my yard that eat them.  But they are still everywhere.  You have to be very careful opening and closing the door because they try to get inside.  I’m not sure even a bug zapper would kill them!  And, now, it is raining again today.

Yesterday I had supper with Kevin, Renea, Stephanie and Ray.  Kevin grilled steaks.  We had baked potatoes and mixed veggies with cheese.  Sure was a good supper.  Today I was supposed to go over and have chicken pot pie with Kevin and Renea.  However, Renea’s lupus flared up and supper has been cancelled. 

Yesterday morning Kevin took me to pick up my golf cart.  They had to replace all batteries.  I also had them redo the seat cover because it was in such bad shape.  Very glad to have it back.  I was driving my car to the She Shack which was a real pain.

Thursday Renea mowed the grass using Kevin’s tractor.  She cut both her front yard and my front yard.  Yesterday Kevin mowed both backyards with the tractor.  Everything looks a lot better.  Now I just need to get outside and weed my azalea bushes.  Kevin also needs to use the weed eater (in his spare time).  All the trees and bushes are starting to turn green.  Our vehicles are turning yellow from the pollen.  I am sneezing and Penny is scratching.
