Well, pipman, here I sit, at the computer in Florida. I refuse, yes absolutely refuse to drive with hubby the 1300-1500 miles to our other home in the North (depending on our route). I became ill from an ice cold hotel room and a fan that was on full blast over the bed. The fan had no pulley and every switch I tried didn’t work on the fan. I could not find the remote either. So we slept with the fan on. Consequently I awoke to a sore throat which Manuka honey took care of. By the time we arrived to our ship and cruise the sore throat was gone. There was only a questionnaire. No one took temps or looked down our throat. Of course the passport backed us up. That night I had sweats like you wouldn’t believe. Absolutely drenched from head to toe. Didn’t feel well either. Wanted to see the ship’s doctor, but at that point knew if I went he would make us leave at the first port of call and fly home. I had no energy to repack, so we ate at the buffet for all meals and actually waited to go there about 15 minutes to a half hour prior to closing. We did that for two weeks. I was still sick when we left the ship. Hubby also took sick the day after me. Not a pretty sight. I wanted to go for the tests for the virus, but there were no stations set up. My fever finally went bye bye this past Monday. Energy level is coming back as well. After what we’ve been through I would not think of flying nor do I wish to stay overnight anywhere until there is definitely an all clear signal. Nor do I want to cruise either.

Yeah, sure. And Aesop wrote other fables……….

dds, A few years ago I had to do the same. Seems the word Lanai may have started in Hawaii, but not sure. Yes, our patio is screened in. Better that way since we overlook a man made lake which I call a small puddle. It’s about a 100 acres worth. The screen helps to keep the critters out. Up until yesterday it looked awful. So I went out, cleared the mess, swept and made an outdoor den with our wicker furniture, a couple of lamps and a small squared table with chairs around it. I decided to put wicker baskets on the walls (actually it is vinyl siding) so if I need it I can find it. LOL

velve, seems that happens to me also. I do better with Kindle than the computer.

dds I am glad that everyone is doing OK. Hubby and I are home buddies as well. We do grocery shopping every couple of weeks unless there is something on sale that we desperately need or want. Finally got our lanai looking good and now can work inside our home. At least we have a place to escape to. We will remain in Florida until there is an “all clear.” And if we remain here, no big deal. Health is so very important and I rather be safe than sorry. I wish everyone in your family good health and may they remain out of harms way.

Hi Velve. I finally googled it and saw that I was way way off. Oh well……….

Sorry, xango. I missed it. Had a phone call and tried to watch but could not. Kitchen window did not extend far enough. Hubby mentioned later that he was outside and didn’t see it either. So now wondering if it came up in a different area where some of the roofs would have blocked it. Oh well. At least there were some beautiful pictures from the Cape and Rhode Island. So, in a sense I was there.

Maybe Judo?????
