For the most part things have been moving fairly slowly
around here. Last week did seem to be
busier for a variety of reasons. I
finally made us some masks to wear when we buy groceries. Since I make quilts, I have lots of fabric
scraps to choose from for making masks and I wanted to make a special one for
my husband, Tom. He has always been a
superhero fan having grown up on Marvel and
DC comics. Even today he never misses any of the movies about those popular
characters. So, I made him a mask from
some Marvel characters fabric.
We were also busy getting my old Honda Civic cleaned up to
loan to my granddaughter, Annika. She
was in a car accident recently when someone ran a stoplight and hit her and then
drove off. Luckily, she was okay although
I know she had to be pretty sore as it totaled her car. It makes me so mad that this was a hit and
run accident! I just don’t understand
some people. Annika is still working
despite the pandemic and has to have a car to get to work and back home. She was hoping to buy one and looked at
several but could not find what she wanted that was also in her price range. I have a very old Honda Civic that I had not
been driving much since we usually use my husband’s Toyota. Despite the age of the Honda it is still in
good running condition. I spent a little
time getting it emptied out of my belongings and we cleaned it up inside and out
for her. She still wants to get a newer
car but this will give her the time she needs to look for one and also save up a
bit more money. I was happy to know I
could do something to help her out as she has had a run of bad luck recently. My son Chris (Annika’s Dad) brought her out Sunday
to pick up the car. It was such a treat to
get to spend a little time with them both as we had not seen any family since the
pandemic started. We stayed outside and
followed social distancing because she has been around many people in her
job. But let me tell you, it sure was
hard to not be able to give both her and my son a big hug!
We finished the week off with another trip to the grocery
store. You know I always have hated
buying groceries but I swear, since this pandemic started, I now hate that job
even more than before! It was our luck
that just when we came out of the store with a cart full of groceries it
started pouring rain. By the time we got
home and got everything in the house every bag was soaked.
I’m glad last week is behind us now and because I’d like to
end this on a happier note, I will leave you with a couple of pictures of my two
sweet cats. They each send you lots of purrs
and cuddles.
