I haven’t turned to drink yet

Posted on April 25, 2020 by barbaraehardy

Although I am starting to see why many do!   I keep cleaning and sterilizing;  it’s getting boring.   Also, as much as I enjoy cooking, EVERY meal?  Too much.  I’m considering driving out for a take-out meal, but I can’t stand … Continue reading →

Posted on April 22, 2020 by barbaraehardy

There is so much pressure on governors to reopen their states.  Thank God, most of the governors are adults!   I have enjoyed listening to them and watching them.   It’s easy to forget how actual adults function, and I thank them … Continue reading →

That’s the question occupying my thoughts these days.  I wonder…. Will sports have lost their grip on Americans?    Pre-virus, there were dozens of games of various types every weekend and some week nights.   Don was usually glued to the … Continue reading →

I had to drive over to the drugstore yesterday to pick up my prescriptions.  I had intended to use the drive-through, but there were only four cars in the parking lot, and I figured they would be the employees.   I … Continue reading →

Eleven days

Posted on April 11, 2020 by barbaraehardy

That’s how long I’ve been at home, and the 12th day is almost over.  Whew.   Most days I get outside for a 20-30 minute walk, but the last couple of days have been extremely windy, so that was a no-go. … Continue reading →

A thoroughly modern granma

Posted on April 9, 2020 by barbaraehardy

Well, maybe not ‘thoroughly,’  BUT I did figure out how to order groceries for delivery online.   Don’t even think, “Big deal.”   It IS a big deal for a 78 year old.   I’ve been grocery shopping in stores for 58 years, … Continue reading →

Today, for the first time, the national death rate from COV1D-19 was down!!!    Fingers crossed that we’ve peaked.  Virginia was slow to start, though, and is projected to peak sometime in May, so we’re staying home.    In the … Continue reading →

June 10?????

Posted on April 5, 2020 by barbaraehardy

Surely the governor didn’t mean JUNE 10 as our release date.  But, yes, sadly he did.  At first we had a suggestion to stay at home;  then about 10 days ago, Gov. Northam said that wasn’t going well, so he … Continue reading →
