Good afternoon. I just got back from visiting one of our Yaya girls, Evie. She was diagnosed last week with terminal cancer and given just two weeks to live. A lot of her family is in town from Virginia and West Virginia. I went over with Rose, both of us wearing masks, and had a short visit with her. She looks pretty darn good, she said she’s very tired but has no pain whatsoever. All of the girls group are taking food over. Since they had that covered, I did a painting for her that I hope will eventually end up with her best friend Cheri. 

I really would have liked to have spent more time on tiny details, but under the circumstances, there wasn’t time. Anyway, she loved it.

It’s a bit of an overcast day, but still nice and cool. Tonight we are meeting Karen & Pete for an early dinner. We hope to avoid any possible crowds on a Saturday night. Since the restaurants are full on open, we don’t know if there will be social distancing or not. In any event, Mark and I will wear a mask 90% of the time.

When we came out of the restaurant there was a misty rain starting. Overnight we have an 80% chance, so I think we are going to get some rain. We went to CJ’s Seafood in downtown Eustis. We met up with Karen & Pete and caught up on all the goings-on with them. Their eldest son is getting married this coming weekend in Tampa. Everyone coming into the restaurant was wearing masks, but the staff was not. They took our temperature as we came in before we were seated. Karen asked our waitress why she wasn’t wearing a mask and she said that they are Covid tested every couple of days. In any event, we won’t be back there for the foreseeable future. The service was good, the food excellent and we had a nice time ... but no mask no business from us.

Sue and Wayne are having trouble finding camping sites on the way home. There seems to be heavy traffic and not enough campgrounds! Our friends at GRW are selling RV’s like cra-cra with the pandemic! Eventually they found one 10 miles off the road, but had some difficulty getting to it. They are safely there for the night now.

There are conflicting updates on Trump’s condition tonight. One report is that he’s doing fine, and the other is that the next 48 hours are critical. 🤷‍♀️

Well that’s it for tonight. Ta ta.
