DAY 207: SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2020: THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN MRS. JOSEPH'S 99 Today

At 6:30, of course, I was awake and ready to go.  i had time to watch some news, ugh, after the run. A fun story for a chsnge. A meteorologist, Paul Delgatta, in Tampa was airing his forecast when his dog, looked like a golden retriever jumped in his lap. It was hysterical.

I GUESS HE WANTED SOME ATTENTION THEN AND THERE

We received a very sad call from Joan about a family member passing unexpectedly. So awful. With all that is going on on, life is difficult enough.Trying to have a celebration of a loved one's life has been limited to 5 people, by our Governor. We feel awful for them and her family. Such a terrible thing , so young, to happen anytime, but not being there makes things seem worse. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. We hope their many wonderful memories will help them through this.  

Not that it bears in comparison, but our neighbors here do not have children but had a cute Cairn Terrior named Wally. We had lots of chats because of Judy amd Michael's cairn terrior, Jameson. Wally passed on Monday which leaves them feeling empty. I just dropped off a card and little dish about dogs being part of our families leaving paw prints on our hearts. 

A day truly to be grateful of the lives we have.   

I must be lare to the party, but our friends told us about this fun tging to do  with kids.

TACOS IN A BAG TACOS 🌮 🌮 



Cut open an individual Taco, Dorito, Frietos, or corn chip bag on its side and open up. Everyone adds his/ her favorite toppings and each with a fork .

Genius!! Easy! Little cleanup🧽!

All this and it was barely 9:00. I wish everyone a better, positive , peaceful day. 

AT 9, I JOINED JUDY AND OTHER GIRLS TO DO SHERRY'S Cardio Circuit Class


BREAKFAST: FRENCH TOAST, SAUSAGE PATTIES, BLUEBERRIES, BANANA SLICES AND SLIVERED ALMONDS

Guess I needed sugar. Could not help finishing a bag of Jelly Beans. And, that is why I don't buy them oftrn.

  EMPTY, OF COURSE

I spoke to Jane as she was taking mom out for a ride. I texted with Sharon. This would have been her mom's 99th birthday.  Cant wait to get home to see my parents and family. 

Debbie emailed that she likes reading the blog. I am happy because it keeps me connected with her and other friends who read it. 

Keeping connected keeps me sane. 

Tom is using today to repack everything under the RV. Good sign!!! Means we are getting ready to head home.

I washed the floor and dusted the walls,  Then, I took my book, rode my bike , sat by the lake, and read. It was a relaxing hour. 

Chan Facetimed and we chatted with the kids. Love that they are working hard and Jess was invited to the Junior National Honor Society. Congratulations, Jess!

Family is precious. 

We texted with Morgan. I can't wait to take the kids shopping again.  So much fun.

I texted again with Joan and pray she can breathe and relax. 

We had a long catch up conversation with Geri. Can't believe we wont see them until July. 

At bedtime, we read with Leo and Stella.  They are so funny. By the time we read with them, they are exhausted 😴. Eyes are drooping and they are truly relaxing and ready to sleep.  Favorite  tonight was: THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR.

We sat out by the fire pit at 8:00 with Sandy and Ron. 

We were back by 9:30. Very tired today.
