Isn’t God amazing the way He sings His Word in our hearts so the tune continues to play .. curiously I’ve seen since wrote that post another message by Billy Graham’s son on for such a time, too!<br />Now those two doylies are lovely, I do love crotchet, I’ve still a couple of squares to do on my UFO!!<br />Love the socks, you’ll never see the deep blue bit and it will hide a darn better if it needs it too.<br />Praying for covering too of dear ones, needs met etc.<br />Thanks for being a blessing, and may God bless you too, especially in these troubled times, may we look up in faith! Praying you’re all kept well too!<br />Hugs, Shaz in Oz.x 😊<br /><br /><a href="https://wonderfulwordsoflifebyshazinoz.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>{Wonderful Words of Life - Shaz in Oz}</b></a><br /><a href="http://calligraphycards-shazinoz.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><b>{Calligraphy Cards - Shaz in Oz}</b></a><br />Shaz in Oz.CalligraphyCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050100007497130952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-67562883513856009042020-03-20T17:34:12.742-05:002020-03-20T17:34:12.742-05:00So glad you are being cautious Betsy and glad to h...So glad you are being cautious Betsy and glad to hear Alex is feeling better.

You know you can order groceries online and pick them up all bagged and ready to go at Walmart or have them delivered free if over $35 but that takes 2-3 days. I think you could walk outside in your neighborhood. There's not 50 people out there are there? I walk here in a neighborhood but no one here comes out of their houses. If they do they just get in their car! LOL! I plan on ordering groceries and picking them up when the need arises. They say there are only 22 cases in AR and none near me but like you say...they aren't testing so how do they really know? I pray your son and Tara get through it alright and Mandy too! God bless our healthcare workers especially at this time.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-17321009082773007912020-03-17T13:28:40.484-05:002020-03-17T13:28:40.484-05:00I really like the doilies!!!

We still have no cases in our county and only a couple near our area in East TN.... BUT--people are being cautious... Schools and events/concerts, etc. are closed/not happening... So far, we are not restricted in our homes. I think when we go shopping on Friday, we'll go REALLY early to beat the crowds... Hopefully, they can re-stock the shelves. People are being so crazy with their hoarding... SAD to me --since some people who need certain items now cannot get them... One of my son's job may be in jeopardy soon since he is a Bar Manager and the bar is in a big mall. As of now, the mall has cut back hours ---but they are still open (even though Mark says there aren't many people at the mall).... <br /><br />We are all dealing with the 'unknown' here. I feel sorry for those people who work paycheck to paycheck and may not have enough money to pay bills soon... AND --what happens to those adults who still can work, but don't have anyone to watch the children (who are now out of school)?????? I worry that the grandparents (who are the most vulnerable) will now have to watch the grandchildren while the parents still work... CRAZY! <br /><br />God is in control... I'm trying to stay positive and just continue to help those in need and stay as safe as possible.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-47271786640993356052020-03-17T10:00:36.085-05:002020-03-17T10:00:36.085-05:00Oh Betsy all magnificent crochet and knit today! ...Oh Betsy all magnificent crochet and knit today!

I am surely praying for Alex and SO happy to read that he looked more like himself. What a blessing that we can keep in touch electronically and share our hearts, see our loved ones, and know how to pray for one another! May God keep us all safe and FREE from all sickness and disease. I am quoting Psalm 91 VERY often and speaking God's Word out loud. It brings SO much comfort, and the blessed Comforter Himself is with us all and in us and protecting us. All glory to Jesus for His constant care.

I went on one last grocery run this morning - many shelves still empty and no veggies (fresh or frozen). I stopped at the bank and got some cash to have on hand - just in case. Heard on the press conference today the virus may be around through mid to late summer. Isolating now may lessen its impact and stop it sooner.

Daughter is sick too but can't get tested because no one here in MD has any tests. It's a nightmare. I keep thinking I am going to wake up and it is all just a bad dream. <br />Your doilies are spectacular! I have a few of my great grandmother's packed away.

And Alex.. oh my! I bet you are worried sick! My daughter is a SAHM so she should do okay, but both boys work in big companies so I worry about them. What a worrying time. Dayle and I decided to stay home from a FOMF board meeting today and plan to stay home for the foreseeable future. The good thing is we can take a drive in our beautiful gorge if we get cabin fever. Stay safe, my friend.

You're a great crocheter.<br />I hope your plan to go to the grocery store real early tomorrow works out. Here too people are going crazy and buying large quantities of everything possible. Stores are hard put to restock the shelves before more panicky people come around.<br />We are finally enjoying some sunshine here in BC... I wouldn't be surprised if the nice weather extends to Washington as well. If so I hope you get outside for a bit and enjoy it.
