My Corona

Given the current circumstances, I cannot possibly get away with saying I don't have time for a blog post, so here goes.

We are still in Florida. Here, the state is pretty much leaving things up to counties and even cities to decide how to respond to the COVID-19 epidemic. Restaurants and other gathering places are closed, and most activities are cancelled, but some beaches, golf courses, and even a few swimming pools are still open. All activities and facilities (except the laundry room) at the RV park where we are staying closed about two weeks ago, and many campers have left.

We have been staying home since Monday, and plan to keep to ourselves until, and after, we get back to Ohio. After all, we have a grandson arriving May 1, and we want to be healthy when he makes his appearance. We did, however have to make a quick run to WalMart for a few supplies this morning. I was relieved to see that it was not crowded and therefore easy to keep our distance. See for yourself:

I am not even close to running out of things to do. I've finished two books and am way behind on The New Yorker. I have knitting (baby cocoon) and sewing {Christmas stocking) projects underway for the baby. Like the good little girl that I am, I brought coloring books and a pot holder loom with me in case I get really bored. So I have a few random pics to share from the last couple of weeks.

We made friends with our RV neighbors Jane and Randy this winter. Fun and lovely people from Alabama. They have taken up golf this year so we got in the habit of playing a little nine-hole course nearby on Sundays. I stuck strictly to cart driving as it's hard for me to see one, not to even mention 300, yards ahead of me. So they spent time sweating, swinging and laughing around the course while I took a picture here and there.

Earlier in the month we got to see my sister-in-law Michelle. She took a little spring break trip to visit friends and family down this way. We met up with her in St. Petersburg for lunch before she headed back home.  It was fun to catch up as we dined outdoors and dockside where we saw a couple of floating bars of the tiki hut and shark varieties.

When self-isolating, pets find it so comforting to have a service human around.

With studios and classes closed here, I was so glad to find that my yoga teachers at home are offering on-line classes, which I enjoy from my outdoor studio!

So here we are, adapting to these strange circumstances. I am thankful that my friends and family are healthy and pray that they stay well. As Larry David would say, that being said, we will figure this out and make our way through it together. Namaste.
