"Layin' low on the (little) island"

Fortunately Ron and I began restocking our freezer and pantry before the panic buying and COVID-19 craziness began.

We feel like we're in a pretty good spot to ride this thing out at the moment. Ron had a follow up visit with his doctor(s) last week and we were told at that time to self isolate for the duration. We were also told to expect this to be the case for the foreseeable future.

I have been busy with the sewing machine and plan to continue with my pottery evening once a week as long as it continues. We are also using this time to tinker on all the little home repair/improvement projects we have around here. I think we have been a little bit more diligent in our scripture study, in part by YouTube lessons (Come Follow Me Scripture Gems, Scripture+, and church videos)

Kaili will likely be joining us as her ulcerative colitis treatments leave her very vulnerable to the current disease making the rounds.

I'm sad we won't be able to meet our newest granddaughter for awhile and our trip to California this year is off indefinitely. Fortunately, we have the technology to "keep in touch" with friends and family.

A batch of sewing is heading to Manitoba today or tomorrow for a 4 year old's birthday. There's also a "crinkly taggie for the baby and a new pair of slippers for the biggest sister.

Our other recent projects have included new shower walls and floor. Next we are adding more fencing to better contain Madrone. Not everyone walking along the trail by our yard appreciates his youthful exuberance.

We are concerned for our friends and family and pray they are taking this situation seriously and using the necessary precautions to stay safe. We know of one friend in Folsom (the town, not the prison) who is currently sick with a suspected case of COVID. She works in health care and has been unable to locate a test to confirm her status yet.

Please keep in touch (not literally ATM), wash your hands, and keep your distance. Love to you all.
