Friday!! YAY! Time to HOP with 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs. Filling in blanks in sentences sure can tell a lot about us huh? That’s why it’s fun – we travel around and read everyone else’s fill-ins and find out stuff that we might not have known about each other. We thank our co-hosts for this super fun HOP! Mom and I usually take turns doing the filling in OR sometimes share in one post. I thought Mom and I might SHARE the filling in duties for this week. If Mom is answering, it will be BLUE and if it’s ME it will be GREEN!
And away we go………………………..
1. My favorite outdoor activity is sitting in one of the rocking chairs on the front porch and watching the world go by.
2. One positive aspect of social isolation is nobody is ringing our doorbell!!!!.
3. It’s fortunate that my husband and I are homebodies – life hasn’t changed much for us these last weeks.
4. I have all my favorite napping spots memorized.
Mom is right – our lives haven’t changed much since the “stay at home” has begun. We love being at home – all of us. My Dad still goes to the airport to fly his plane or just clean out the hangar, etc., and Mom DOES do grocery shopping once a week but everything else is status quo. I get to go outside if I want to and pretty much WHEN I want to…………once in a while the phone rings (robo calls of course!) and we get “just checking in to see how you are” emails just as we send out our share of those. We kinda did that ANYWAY. Checking in with friends is what you tend to do when you’re a blogger.
We just continue being grateful that we are healthy, happy, have food and supplies, see the sun instead of rain occasionally (!), and carry on while being more careful than ever. We pray everyone will continue to follow the guidelines and we can hope that as a reward, the virus will DIE OFF and leave everyone alone. That won’t happen for a while yet though so PLEASE STAY SAFE. We love you!

We are following the guidelines! SSNS did go to the Publix yesterday afternoon and he scored some hamburger so we grilled CHEESEBURGERS last night! We haven’t been able to find ground chuck! We like sitting on the porch/lanai and watching the birds. Love the pond chickens… not to eat, to watch! They are saying Florida is going to be the next New York. Dr. Fauci said a lot of New Yorkers who have second homes in Florida are fleeing down here. Got my fingers crossed and hoping and praying that isn’t true.

Unfortunately, it’s true and they are not self quarantining. The Nextdoor app had two posts about people being at Publix and hearing folks say they just got here from New York and were shopping. 😦

Gosh I hadn’t thought of that but YES New Yorkers flood down to Florida ANYWAY and probably more of them will do that bringing their germs with them. I hope not. I really do. Cheeseburgers – oh boy! I have some ground chuck in my freezer and if we hadn’t already decided to have something ELSE for dinner, I’d INSIST on that! Maybe tomorrow. We do a lot of porch sitting these days – Teddy likes that too.

It’s sad but necessary I think……people moving about are just taking a chance of spreading germs with them so if they “shelter in place” there’s less chance of that happening. It’s amazing the changes we’ve all been through lately but it will get WORSE before it gets BETTER!

So far no problems with cat food here because I eat prescription dry food and Chewy sends my renewals like clockwork. Regular cat food I think can be in short supply. My Mom saw a lady in the cat food aisle crying the other day because her cat’s favorites were sold out. Mom would like to have given her a hug but she couldn’t – she just told the lady to check back the next day…..and also that cats will PROBABLY eat whatever they’re given so to try another kitty food until the favorite is back in stock. It’s sad……..very sad…….

Hi BellaDharma….it’s tough on our humans having to stay home but it’s really the only way they can be SAFE and that’s the important thing. My Mom and Dad go to the grocery – do what needs to be done and come home and wash everything. It’s frightening what’s “possible” if everyone doesn’t hang in there and do the right things as recommended. Our job of keeping them happy, entertained, and calm is even more important than EVER before!
