This week it's supposed to hit 80 which will be a huge change! Love your projects, especially the blanket. Is it for someone special? I hope you had a nice time at the Lake! It's annoying when people don't follow the rules, isn't it? Our local grocery is pretty well stocked, but we have to get there in the morning. Stay well!

Love that yellow blanet, stunning pattern, great mittens, and Chloe is one elegant lady, isn't she? Love your rhubarb!<br /><br />Agreed re social distancing. Sure way to get a hot spot. They are relaxing things here as Aust has been very blessed, think we'd had enough with fires and drought in 2019-20!! So blessed by distance and hard borders of an island from spread as severely. We also shut down earlier than some.<br />I think in part this will become new normal as am pretty sure a vaccine like common cold won't work. Antibodies don't seem to have long duration, plus the strains are numerous, over 30 strains of COVID-19 last time I searched. That's not often mentioned, which I find strange. Instead they may find a method of treating it like quinine for malaria.<br />Pray so, sis.<br />Sorry for late visit! 😊 <br />Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love, in these changeable times.

I don't dare try to do pick-up at walmart, it's 2-3 weeks out and I can't wait that long for groceries. I get up way eaerly on their senior tuesdays (5am ugh) and get what we need. If I forget something or need anything extra, I give my son money and they get it on their shopping day. I hate to get out, but Jerry and I have needs that only I can figure out. I just do a lot of "psp" ... pre-shopping-praying for a hedge of health protection. Our state is still adding cases and deaths, yet they are going to open back up monday. I think it's too risky, so we've decided to stay put as much as we can. ---. I LOVE THAT BLANKET!! I love the color mustard yellow... my daughter-in-law gave me a pretty knitted winter headband (that her friend made) in that color a couple years ago. --- Hugs and blessings to you, my dear friend!

Sorry to read about your difficulties with shopping. Thankfully we are eligible for home delivery due to my heart condition and Gerards autoimmune system we are considered high risk. Pasta and flour seem to be high on the list of shortages. I am thrilled Meredith was able to help with the interfacing. The fabric is beautiful, looking forward to seeing the dresses. Have a great weekend and enjoy the lake.

Goods is a fun store to go to - they have EVERYTHING!!! (They are not that far from where I live - maybe an hour or so.) Glad you were able to get your shopping done. It is frustrating at times and I don't understand how one store can be completely out of one thing and another store down the road is fully stocked with the same item.

We're on a streak of rainy days and I'd so much love some sunshine.<br />I cannot figure out why there are still grocery items ( and other things too) that are not available. Are people really buying more and more every time they shop? Surely by now things should be figured out.<br />The fabric you bought for dresses is so pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished dresses. I'm glad you got some interfacing from a friend.<br />I hope you have a lovely day at the lake.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-16990888004812054542020-04-30T12:46:29.116-05:002020-04-30T12:46:29.116-05:00Oh, my, I know what you mean.
