It’s been another week of the same old - stay at home order is still in place and that’s what I did. I did make a trip to the grocery store on Tuesday morning, after Frisco woke me up at 6:00 am. I took a quick shower, got dressed and arrived at the store at 7:15 during Senior time. I wore a mask and took alcohol wipes to clean and I went. The floors had arrows directing traffic so people didn’t pass in the aisles. Shelves were pretty well stocked except cleaning products and paper product - there was no toilet paper. At checkout, shoppers were spaced far apart and the checkout clerk sanitized the belt before before I was allowed to place my items on it. I went straight there and straight back home.
Today was a highlight! Ben and I had planned to get together for a distanced walk. He called me around 2:30 while I was walking Frisco and said that they were at Lois and Dennis’ house for the girl’s Easter egg hunt and were sitting around in the yard at a distance, and he invited me to join them. I took Frisco to the apartment and headed there. We sat in a circle in the 63 degree sunshine and talked while the girls romped around the yard, demonstrating their cartwheel and handstand skills and walking along the tops of the rocks that border their yard. It felt so good to be near family again, even at a distance.
