If we were having coffee this morning, we would be sipping through our face masks. We are still in a stay at home situation here in North Carolina. The only time I go out is to walk Gracie. Poor girl’s walks have gotten shorter, but she seems to have gotten used to it.
As you can see from the picture above, my coffee cup is empty and very lonely sitting on my patio table. I do sit on the patio, but it’s very cold out today. I went out there and only lasted a couple of minutes. 🙂
It’s been a while since I have posted. I am having fun trying to figure out how things work here now. It seems they have changed how things are done. It took me forever to find where I could use the old editor.
I have been keeping busy sewing masks. Our health care facilities have asked for them. The big problem is everyone is making them and supplies have run short. Not fabric, I have plenty, but the elastic needed for the masks is out of stock everywhere. I ordered 100 yards over a month ago and it still has not come in.
I miss getting to spend time with my quilter friends. But the biggest hurdle for me is not being able to attend Mass and receive the sacraments. Seeing it online is not the same. This pandemic has really changed our way of life. It certainly gives us pause to reevaluate what is important and what is not. I hope that our economy will pick back up after the stay at home order is rescinded. I know that many people are struggling with no paycheck coming in.
I am excited because I am going to Medjugorje in October. I have wanted to make a pilgrimage there for a very long time. I am praying that by then this pandemic is just a memory so it doesn’t get canceled.

Stay home, stay healthy!

Can you believe it? My house is located just about where the white dot is in this picture. Needless to say, I will most likely be going home to a mess. However, after being in a car with 9 cats, 2 dogs, a rabbit, and a lizard, we arrived in Virginia safe and sound.



there in front of the sink drying my hands, I heard water running. I looked at the faucet and saw that it was turned off. All of a sudden I got this sick feeling in my stomach. I opened the cabinet doors under the sink and sure enough, there was water all over. So, after shutting the water off, I attempted to tighten all the connections but my efforts were unsuccessful. I was without running water in the kitchen until Friday. But, I now have a brand new faucet in my kitchen that works just great!
I guess it’s been two years since they have been here. Yesterday, I was sitting by the front window and looked up to see them waddling up the driveway. I was so excited that I jumped up grabbing my camera but just as I got outside a car out on the highway made a very loud noise and it spooked them. However, I did see my favorite goose, Gus. I named him. He is a saddleback goose. The one with the bright orange beak and black spots on him. I am hoping they will continue to come down to visit.
