Updates

Well.......... Virginia has started to open some things up.  The pictures on the newscasts and in the paper show people out and about, in groups, laughing and not wearing masks or taking any precautions.  The number of Covid-19 cases in the state is rising.  I would be willing to bet - if I was a betting person - that there will continue to be more cases.  Some people are just STUPID!

And since I mentioned stupid people, here is a new pet peeve:  Why does the paper and the TV news keep showing all these people not wearing masks, or showing some of the ones that are wearing them wrong???  You need to cover your nose and mouth, people!  I realize that sometimes the things slip down and you can't help it, but these are folks that are on camera.

We continue to try to be careful and safe.  If we do go out to pick up groceries or take-out orders, we wear masks, and if appropriate, gloves.  And we wash up when we get home.

It got warm enough here that we turned the A/C on.  It might get turned off today.  After being around 90 for a couple days with higher humidity, it is only in upper 60's today, going to rain later and for the rest of the week, and cool off even more.  Some of that rain  might be from the early storm "Arthur" but we are not supposed to get a direct hit.

Our calendar is pretty much empty as usual for the coming week.  The quarterly pest control visit is Tuesday morning to continue the battle against ants and spiders.  And we have a grocery pick-up scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

Our girls are doing okay and are coping.  Families are well as of last reports.

My mood has been a little bit all over the place but is better now.   To put it simply, some days I am just "verklempt".

The restrictions on the bases are loosened just a little and retirees are now allowed on base on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays.  Along with the lightening of restrictions, the golf course on base is going to reopen next Friday.  Many new rules and precautions will be taken.  I will let you know if Les gets to play then. 😊

Several businesses are filing for bankruptcy.  Penney's is one of those.  Penney's used to be pretty much the only place I shopped years ago.  Then they changed management and started carrying really trashy things and stopped carrying popular good quality items.  I saw their problems coming for a long time.  To be honest, there isn't anything I would buy right now that would make me go to a mall anyway.

So here we are.  Stay safe, take care of yourselves.  Remember that life is great!  And God Bless America!

P.S. Here is something cute to think about.  Jacquie sent us this bug list that Cutie Girl made.  She and Little Miss E like to go bug hunting in their yard, so Cutie Girl made a checklist.  Looks like they did pretty good!  And yes, our sweet little girls have no problem at all with hunting bugs, worms, and whatever!
