What a weird couple of months this has been.
An unprecedented time with so many thoughts
and feelings. Here's a brief summary of our
experiences during a very confusing time ...
The Coronavirus started in China in Dec 2019
The first case in the US was Jan 21, 2020
The first US death was on Feb 29, 2020
On March 13th a National Emergency was declared.
Then states started shutting down ...
Safer at Home was on for most states
and many countries all around the world.
It started with '15 days to Slow the Spread' on March 15th ...
Then '30 days to Slow the Spread' till April 30 ...
Then another 15 days till May 15th.
When this all started, we were in the midst of re-doing our
front patio. (see Spring 2020)

Tim was ahead of the fashion trend with his PPE ...
facemask, gloves and gown 😂
At first it wasn't too hard ... working from home,
stocking up and staying home ... the slower
pace was a nice change!
We started a family group text on March 18th.
We kept in touch and sent around funny memes
until about May 18th. It became harder,
more confusing and less and less humorous.
Clay shared his working from home spot
(which hadn't changed for him).
So James shared his 😂
We stocked up and limited our trips out.
We didn't leave home from March 15 - April 15th!
There were social distancing lines waiting to get into
Costo. We went during the Senior hours ... finally
made it to the entrance after an hour lined up outside!
Laughing kept us going, especially at first.
The Nelsons and Macs sent these around ...
Their time was so different from Tim and I's.
It was so quiet here but not so much for them ...
funny funny!
We sure missed being with our kids
and grandkids!
I think we all could relate with Letty!
Tim and I decided to re-watch Lost during the
Quarantine. We forgot this was on the hatch
door! Weird days!
We had a few Zoom get togethers with the kids and
friends! It was fun but I sure like in person better!!
These were strange days for people all over
the world. Weird to think about our shared
experience. Trying to find the good.
This is how it felt as time passed...
So here we are on May 31st!
Where did last 2 1/2 months go??
Arizona is opening up slowly.
We can get haircuts, go out to eat & shop in most stores.
... not sure what's ahead
but glad to be moving on a little!

I actually enjoyed the time, except for the
burden in my soul for those that were
really struggling and for the families who lost loved ones.
I loved having time to sit on my beautiful patios
and think, read, ponder and research.
So many things just weren't making sense ...
so many questions. I'm feeling like I'm
on a trip down a rabbit hole ... one revelation
leading to another. Only time will tell if
my intuitive wanderings prove to be true.
I'll keep you posted!
... And now rioting all across the US???
So very sad and tragic.
What is going on???
The rabbit hole is getting deeper ...
