Good morning. My first message of the day was from Sue and Wayne. Wayne was at the grocery store for 7 o’clock and the place was full. It was the first day for seniors to shop early. He was unable to get any paper products and couldn’t get much of what they wanted/needed. Dayam!

Mark left here at 8:30 heading for our Winn-Dixie. That store didn’t open till 8 o’clock, so he’s hoping to go in and shop after the major rush. We shall see! It’s a new reality, isn’t it? (as it turns out, our store was well stocked, maybe not with the exact brand of soups that we like, but there were some. The paper aisle was, as Sue said, decimated.)

I have a little fun planned for today… I’ve invited Bob and Kim, Lynn, Pat and Ken to bring their own lawn chairs and their own drinks and meet under the shade of our big trees at 4:30. Our front yard is big enough we can all sit around 6 feet apart and talk. At least that will be a little social conversation. I thought they’d laugh at me, but they’re all coming 😂 it’s pretty poor for southern hospitality, but like I say, it’s a new reality. 

We had happy hour on the front lawn under the trees with 6 friends. It was nice to catch up with each other. We kept a good distance and didn’t share anything. 😜

Mark cooked General Tso chicken and jasmine rice for our dinner. It was great ... pretty spicy. We watched a few Nurse Jackie episodes on Netflix and headed to bed at 10:30. 

Stay safe ... wash your hands! ❤️
