I've been sewing masks for the local hospital using a tute I found on you tube. Husband and I assembled a dog run to make a place for the new chicks that are coming in May. I'm planning to can more kidney beans and peaches when they come into season in May.

I am doing more cleaning and disinfecting since some of my family members must go out each day. My daughter and I are staying home as much as possible. I think we have been out two times this month. I am baking more, working on a quilt for hubby's birthday, and doing some embroidery. I started some seeds for the garden and enjoy seeing the little shoots.<br />Your kitties are adorable. Take care and be very careful.<br />GingerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-56487556499242544842020-03-30T18:38:35.487-07:002020-03-30T18:38:35.487-07:00Hi Becky I agree it's time to finish up projec...Hi Becky I agree it's time to finish up projects and learn new things. My husband was temporarily relocated to a different state so right now we are in a hotel room. When he goes to work I am left to shelter in place alone. I do talk to the staff and get interactions that way but otherwise it's phone calls to mom and family. I did bring my sewing machine and some projects with me so I do have things to do. Today I worked on some hanging tea towels and patched a pair of my husband's jeans. He has a talent for putting stains and holes in clothing lol. Tomorrow I will do some sewing of masks for us and to send to work with him for coworkers. We have been eating out everyday but as soon as we get an apartment I plan to cook all our meals like we do at home. I brought food from my pantry to stock us up with staples including toiled paper lol so we shold be ok for a while. Before the thrift stores closed I found a Oster bread maker for $5 I was thrilled!! Bread flour was one of the staples I brought with me.

I am taking advantage and getting lots of seeds going in my garden. I walk on the wide open beach with the fur baby in the early morning. We come home and we do some housework, get washing on the clothesline, general clean up. I then spin, sew, knit or crochet. In the late afternoon I water, weed and collect from the vegie garden for our dinner. We too fit the high risk category and are staying away from others. Our daughter is dropping any shopping off to us. We do get to talk to neighbours over the fence and we are sharing produce, eggs and fresh caught fish. We do this carefully so as not to infect each other. It's not so bad.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-56455900194094302532020-03-30T17:21:18.909-07:002020-03-30T17:21:18.909-07:00That is what we all need to do put our trust in Hi...That is what we all need to do put our trust in Him these are very scary time for sure here in Iowa they are calling for all who can sew in the state of iowa sew masks and deliver them to the hospitalsBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893299343177717697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-73839323906223973032020-03-30T17:09:36.114-07:002020-03-30T17:09:36.114-07:00I tried to get both in bags side by side but could...I tried to get both in bags side by side but couldn't get that to work but got them each in a single bag at two different timesBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893299343177717697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-44214652569544674792020-03-30T15:47:53.325-07:002020-03-30T15:47:53.325-07:00Our daughter is working from home but deals with m...Our daughter is working from home but deals with mental patients and must have quite and confidentiality as she does teleconferences and with a 4,6 and 9 year old she cannot just leave them on their own so we are at her house M-F .

I'm using up the oldest foods in my freezer and pantry. I learned from you to stock up, so we didn't panic when this all started. Thank you. I've been doing some spring cleaning. I've tried to put cheerful pictures on Facebook for my friends and family.

Somehow there is still community even though none of us 600 plus are there in the building. I have been amazed at how our food supplies are lasting and this is a good time to reach deep into the pantry and use up those items that have been here too long. We had several cans of chili without beans and some jars of cheese dip. These items with some chopped tomatoes, chips and sour cream have made delicious nachos for our lunches. The weather is warming up so we have been getting out and walking our neighborhood and just spending time on the porch swing. All the neighbors have told us to just ask if we need anything and we have replied with the same. Being out and just seeing others in their yards is a real morale booster. We all have 1 to 10 acres so there is plenty of distance!<br /><br />Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
