Thanks Susan! Feels great to reach that 5 month milestone, as things are much easier to deal with now. No major cravings or excessive anxiety and the insomnia and other quirks have finally subsided. Just dealing with the stress of this virus and stay at home situation. Hopefully our county will be included in the governors announcement tomorrow as moving from red to yellow effective the 15th. We were not included with the counties for the 8th. Not much changes moving from red to yellow but at least I will be able to see the grandkids. I have been talking to them a lot lately since they figured out how to use FaceTime, but it’s not the same as seeing them in person. I hope you are doing well! Take care and stay healthy!

Morning Cherie.  So glad you are making it, almost half a year.  I sorta remember those times but not that well.  I still have the Subaru Baja I bought then.   My Cocoa dog was born then and is gone now.

My doctor is moving on to something better.  Happens all the time now, every two to three years.  Then the new doctor wants me to come in every 60 to 90 days.  Not doing that this time, tired of it.  Have to fast and get a blood test every time.

We're supposed to get a couple inches of snow tonight, then a blustery Saturday.   Brandy and I will get our walk in before it starts.

Have a great day.

Ernie

Dear Cherie ~

Yes, all will open here around the 12 - 15 and 21st.  I don't plan to make  lot of changes in my routine ~ will opt out of eating in restaurants for quite a while.  Yes, to seeing the grandchildren.  Bronwen will come for an overnight visit tonight.

Happy Mother's Day to you and Ernie's wife and Miss Kitty and all who come to visit us ~

and Happy Mother's day to you Susan....and stay well...daughter sent a picture of snowy deck....what a wacky world we have right now....

Happy 5 months and many congrats...Florida is kind of crazy with openings and too soon...restaurants open inside only 25 % and take out....or outside dining...

Love that barn....

Good morning

Love that picture too...thanks for sharing and today is your wife's day tell her I said Happy Mother's day.....

Hi Miss Kitty ~

And happy Day After Mother's Day to you ~   Did I hear that EVERY day is Mother's Day?  LOL

A cold and chilly day.  Frost again tonight.  Just discouraging.  I bought some tall ornamental grass and a clematis.  Still not in the ground and that's okay.  

Painted (what I hope) is the final coat on the fireplace tiles.  Have gone with white mantle and white tile to brighten up the corner.  May get an attractive tall grate (am I thinking of the right word)?  Anyway, it will be a nice change.  The kids started the panel flooring in the kitchen and it looks absolutely fabulous.  I'm so very pleased.  They will continue on to the Foyer and half bath.  Then, Jim and I will take over with the entire living area.  What a wonderful and welcome change.  

Guess it is all going to open tomorrow but I, for one, will not be at Stein Mart.  I'm going to take a very wait and see attitude.  Nothing I truly need (other than groceries).  Mass will be another stepping stone.  Will want to go but what will the restrictions be?

What a world.  Full of masked faces...  How would we ever begin to believe all of this has happened.  I take it that you will stay in Paradise until your home sells?

((hugs)) across the miles.  Susan

Yes, my tribe gathered for Mother's Day.  It was good to be with everyone.  

Dear Cherie ~

Hope you have moved into the "grandchildren" zone.  My tribe decided Mother's Day was a good day to gather.  We ate wonderful food from a take out restaurant, drank lovely wine, danced and had a general wonderful time.  The two year old Bronwen seems to be to all of our delight!   So happy to be with everyone...finally.

Cold here....really cold......frost expected tonight and we are by the Lake which is somewhat protected.

Susan
