Families are getting together here in Ontario now..... We have had family over, and enjoyed every minute of it. On Saturday we are having our Heather, Her husband Jon, and their son and his fiance over to help with planting our vegetable garden.  It is huge, and I cannot do the job alone.  We have pooled resources for seed, easily over $150, and the garden will feed the entire family.  Doug won't be working in the garden, instead he will be providing us with meat instead. He will be hunting with John in the fall.

We are all being very careful.

Back on December 30 we came home from LAX with a planeload of Oriental people.  They were all coughing and hacking, adults and children alike.  The middle of January We both were sick.  I had razor blades in my lungs.  When I went to the clinic The doctors words have repeated themselves in my head, not understanding at the time, their importance.  "If you get worse or develope a high temperature, go to the hospital immediately!"  I thought Why would I do that when all I gave to do is take tylenol!  |I did have a fever, I won over it, and moved on.  In hindsight I suspect I had a mild dose of the covid.  Life has gone on, and I am now fine.  My family is doing well, no one is sick.

At 71 I am finding I am low on energy. I admire those of my age and older who have all the energy to do what they do. I am actually envious!

Have a wonderful day everyone, Keep posting your updates,or Just say Hello!

Love you all Judy

Hi everyone. same here just being bored most of the time. I do go out and walk Freckles 3-4 times a day  to get in about 5 miles every day.

As for Janet, I think she was getting notifications about when someone posted here. and probably hasn't been getting the notifications, I will email her.

Marilyn Thankyou!

My late father idolised Mario Lanza as a tenor voiced singer as father too had a great tenor voice...Father often sang in Italian as he had picked up Italian whilst fighting on the front-line in both Italy and North Africa during WW2 as a paratrooper ( the secret service ) fighting against the Germans and the Japs, and whilst in Italy dating an Italian lady for a period and being chaperoned all the time...Not sure when but my father was missing in action for a couple of months and told me as a young child, " one doesn't need a church to pray.." I am assuming he done enough praying to God when he was by himself and befriended an Alsatian ( German Shepherd ) dog and shared his food with the dog until he met up with his platoon.....
I also share the love of Mario Lanza's tenor opera voice, especially when he sings in Italian ( O Sole Mio / Nessun Dorma ) as i can hear my father singing....

Greetings Jackie   Do you remember the splendid Franco Corelli, he had a magnificent tenor voice.   Franco was tall, dark and handsome, that is some combination 😊  Ellie

Greetings Everyone  Did someone mention Ontario, as hubby used to know a member of the old Senior Net who lived in Brantford. He lost touch when S&F opened began.  Ellie 

Wow!  So nice to read that I was missed!  I did check back a few times, found nothing but music, left a short post.  (But Judy said I posted in April.)  How I miss my email notifications I used to get!  Those kept me up to date!

Oh, well....I'm here now.  We are still doing fine.  Like everyone else, tired of staying home, not going to church (We do participate online) and not seeing family as much as we like.  On Mother's Day, Diane invited us for noon meal, and later Curtis and Toni stopped by with the girls, so we got great-granddaughter hugs!!  They are missing their friends and school.

Granddaughter Abby graduated from Kansas State University, and I attended via zoom.  I feel so bad for all the HS and College grads this year, not getting to have a "real" graduation.  There were only 18 in Abby's Major graduating, so they gave each one a little time to tell their future plans, their favorite memories, and to thank parents, etc., for support.  It was quite nice, and more personal than a huge graduation for the whole University would have been. Abby has accepted a job as a graduate assistant Athletic Trainer at a Christian College in Manhattan--New York.  So she is moving from Manhattan, Kansas (the Little Apple) to the Big apple.  I hate to see her go so far away, but I'm sure she will do well.  And she graduated Summa Cum Laude.  She was home last night, so I got my first hugs from her in months!

I'm staying busy doing a lot of painting.  It keeps me sane.

Before this gets too long, I will stop.  Thank you for missing me!  I missed all of you, too!  Getting exercise by walking these feisty little dogs we got.
I think we were out of our minds!  They are really a lot of trouble, but we do enjoy them.

If I am among the missing, yell at me!  I don't mean to stay away!

Janet...
... i knew if we all " yelled " enough, we would get you back, and it worked...

Good Morning Jackie! It is a Beautiful day here in the north.

I have a kitty that needs to see a doctor, so I am up much earlier than normal!

My boys are anxious to get out, so have a good day everyone, till later!

anet good to see your post. J
Jackie and Ellie  glad to see you also.
Judy how is you kitty.

We are fine here in Oregon. Not much is new. MY Freckles sure misses her Visits to the facilities. She wants to go up to everyone we meet on our walks to say hello. I  miss our visits as well and the fellowship with the other doggie humans. We started back to church last week so we have been twice. We had all of 15 people attending but it was so good to see them all. On a good day we may have 25=30 people. We are a small church.

Marilyn...
...that is one step in the right direction when our church doors open and people can sit next to each other as we once did...I feel for Freckles, how does one explain to a dog why they cant get up close to a human at this period of time when all they want is their continued fussing..

Greetings Marilyn  Splendid seeing your message. Churches still have closed doors here.  Virtual services not the same.  Ellie

Greetings Jackie  A splendid thought about sitting next to each other in our church. Will social distancing be something that church congregations will have to look into as well.  Ellie

Greetings Janet  I was pleased when I read your message on Thursday.  Take care.  Ellie
