Saturday, April 11, 2020

Good morning. It’s a nice cool start to our Saturday. Since I’m up first and Mark is having a little sleep in, I put on the TV and immediately learned the new Florida stats. Exactly one month ago Florida had three cases of COVID-19 and today we have 18,000. 😱 Now in Jacksonville, Orlando and Miami they will be testing people with no signs of the virus. Osceola County has mandated everyone must wear a mask when they leave their home. Instead of piecemeal, I wish they would just state everyone wear a mask when leaving your house. We can’t have another huge rise 30 days from now! 

If you’re looking for a break from reality for a little while tonight, our friend Alan Darcy is performing at 7 o’clock, Facebook live. 

He’s cool 😎 

Dr. Mehmet Oz was just on TV saying we will not be returning to normal until there is a vaccine for COVID-19. His analogy is ‘no one is going to jump in while there’s blood in the water 💦.’ (I agree with him.) Wearing a mask 😷 when you simply must leave your home helps BUT STAYING HOME is our only safety at the moment. 

This mask is on Mark’s wish list ... 

Hahaha ... 

Our big 🍊 doufas was on TV yesterday saying his presidency has lowered CO2 emissions. Ya, no shit Sherlock 🕵️‍♂️ ... no one’s driving ‘cause everything’s shut down.  No emissions ... but bankruptcies will be up. 😢 

Here’s a pic from a VIP Club friend ... 

The cruise business has been shut down until mid-July ... expect Carnival will be in bankruptcy soon. 

Okay ... so for FUN we called the K’s on FaceTime at happy hour and now they know how to use it! It was fun ... BeeZee was happy to hear their voices but Robbie turned his back on Sue. 🤔😂

After that we tried Bonnie and Roger in Oklahoma ... but no answer. Happy Easter!

We got a phone call from RanDawn right then and had a fun yak.  They were sitting on their dock watching the herons feeding chicks in the nest. Now these are BIG birds! And, they squawk at dinner time! Those two are such fun. Today was Dawn’s cooking day ... but she tried to change the rules and just cook Randy breakfast. 🤣 He wasn’t going for that deal after slaving away cooking ribs for Dawn yesterday. 🤣🤣 Tonight she’s cooking baked chicken breasts!

Crispy chicken, rice and green beans! Well done Dawn. 😍

Next we FaceTime’d LaDonna & Wayno who were cooking Salisbury steaks for their dinner.  LaDonna’s working on the painting challenge I gave her ... and she’s doing great with it. Here’s hers so far ...

Cool beaners! Love the waves! 

That’s it for tonight. Tomorrow I’m going to post some of Mark’s artwork ... for real. 🥰

Ta ta for now! Stay safe ... wash dem hands and mask up when you’re out. 🥰
