Due to Covid-19, we're under orders to stay at home.
As is most of the rest of the country.
Other than a couple of states with idiots for governors.
We went into town Wednesday to pick up groceries, curbside. We had placed the order last Thursday.
The wait was not an issue for us, and we have to be thankful for our grocery workers who are working so hard.
It's odd to see Boone closed up.
The toll all this is going to take on working Americans is going to be devastating to many.
After taking care of necessary business, we headed back home.
Comforted somewhat by what, in our life, remains the same.
Along with breakfast for supper
And deciding which puzzle to do . . .
Stay safe and healthy, everyone.
Stay home if you're able.
Copying and Pasting from a Facebook friend because while I’m sure not likely to forget this, I like the idea of not taking things for granted:

Campaign rallies thinly disguised as press conferences daily from the idiot who wants to be king.
Daily updates on new cases, recoveries, and deaths.
Government incentives to stay home.
Barely anyone on the roads.
People wearing masks and gloves outside.
Essential service workers are terrified to go to work.
Medical field workers are afraid to go home to their families.
This is the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic, declared March 11th, 2020.
Why, you ask, do I write this status?
One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.
Be thankful for what we have. Be grateful.
Help in any way you can those who are less fortunate.
Be kind to each other - support others.
We are all one! ❤️

Well said and a bit scary where life is right now. Stay well and safe.
You too, Mason!
I could quibble with the statement that the President holds a daily press conference. The governors hold daily press conferences. The President holds daily rants. But, that's just a quibble. Kaye, that's a thoughtful, well-composed list of memories. Sad that you had to put that together.
Ah, but I didn't, Lesa! "Pasting from a Facebook friend because while I’m sure not likely to forget this, I like the idea of not taking things for granted:"
I changed some things that were there, I should change that too! I think I will because I definitely agree!!!!!!!!!!!!
