Oodiebom, sounds like you did not have a good cruise. I too remember years ago when one of my sons got sick when we were traveling. All we wanted to do was get home. We were hours from being there and just kept driving. Not a good trip so I can somewhat relate. We do go grocery shopping because I like to see what we are purchasing. I order on line from retail stores and from HSN (mainly Andrew Lessman products) . I think my mailman hates me! I keep Purell and Lysol wipes with me all the time. I wipe the carts and frozen/refrigerator handles with the Lysol wipes and hands with the Purell wipes when back in the car. They say that two weeks after the 2nd shot you should be immune to the virus. Hubby just had a new grill delivered and I am looking forward to summer and cookouts with family and friends! Stay safe my friend, I appreciate that you open this thread every Friday. Have a good week!

Religious and private schools here have been open since last August. Public schools opened up in February here. I heard that in California they still were not open. How sad for the kids! In my town, they turned all the baseball diamonds into soccer fields. My sons always played baseball. My backyard was the place for them and their friends to practice so I appreciate what you have to do to protect your windows! It was good though, I knew where they were. Some of them still come over (they are in their 50’s now) to tell us of all the good times they had here!

LOL!!!!

Xango, you must have had oral surgery to remove that tooth! No fun! Keep eating those homemade soups, they are the best! Hope it heals soon.

Oodiebom, we too will keep wearing our masks. We still do not feel comfortable dining in restaurants either. We do order curbside for take out. Not the same as dining in but there are some days when I just don’t feel like cooking! LOL!

So glad you were got the 2nd shot! Gives a feeling of being somewhat protected from Covid. At least we can get back to something that resembles “normal”!

Hi Rosa, glad to hear it is getting better in California! Are the kids back in school yet?

Sheba, that is so pretty!

Thank you Oodiebom! I remember that day like it was yesterday!

Oodiebom, I have physicians in my family. When I ask that question they say that the virus is mutating into different strains. I don’t feel they really know the answer except it does give you some immunity.

Thank you Rosa. Positive thinking and our faith have brought us through many health issues. We are so thankful to have celebrated so many years together.
