CMA Music Fest Cancelled

Well, it wasn't unexpected and it is definitely the safest choice, but we will sure miss it this year.

We have been happily zooming most recently in a chat with Joanne and Dolly, but pretty much daily for a game or two of 5000 with Sue and Patrick (and happy 37th anniversary to them, by the way!)

Life under the coronavirus pandemic aura is not easy. Constant news coverage with the latest statistics and heartbreaking stories of death, unemployment, and irresponsible administration in government is overwhelming.

Tom and I worked on the lawn yesterday in the sunshine. I picked up sticks and he mowed. It was almost fun....a welcome change from being indoors watching tv and eating all day.

I need a new book.

HR Block is staying open through July15 now....though with less offices and people....certainly without me!

We are healthy enough, although Tom went out to the lab for blood tests the other day and he has to go in for a cystoscopy on the 15th. My fingers are crossed for no cancer like he thinks, but the doctor didn't seem as positive when he told us the cancer was back..... :-(

My hair. 'nuff said.  :-(

Social distancing

It's the very scary, stressful time of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic. 
I am Max challenging at home with Ivona's Facebook videos and Tom and I  are doing a lot of tv viewing of movies and shows and computering. No dancing or eating out, not much food shopping. No golf. Some doctors appointments and a hint of HR Block (but Tom wants it over for me....he is in the very vulnerable category).
No movies! No Prospectors!
Speaking of Prospectors, I came across this photo (it's from the night we didn't win Garth at Prospectors tickets).

I don't know what is going to happen in the US...or the rest of the world.

People who aren't taking the crisis seriously are really hurting our chances of getting through it. :-(

I worry about what's going on with the economy, with our survival (everybody, not just us), and the aftermath...because it will be over eventually....and, hopefully, we'll be prepared with vaccines and treatments for the next one.

CMA Fest hasn't been cancelled...yet. 

I have appointments on the schedule for HRB. I wonder if all non-life sustaining businesses will be ordered closed before Monday? (I heard that was done in PA...?)

Meanwhile we're just hunkered down. God bless us every one.





   

March 2020-Sue and Patrick!

I am heading out to the annual DKG multi chapter lunch in faraway Deptford today so no HRBlock until tomorrow.

We had so much fun when Sue and Patrick came to visit and lots of photos to prove it!

I can't wait until the next time!

Just checking in

Wow, seems like I haven't written in awhile!

Things are good. I have been working non stop at HR Block and Tom has been attending his normal rounds at the doctor offices and labs. We throw dancing and movies in there upon occasion, but not that much in social interaction. (Well, we had fun at the Diamond Rio concert at Prospectors on the 7th.

and lunch with my Delran retirees today).

Sue and Patrick (the newly retired!) (Patrick, not Sue yet) are coming East and visiting us on March 1st. Whoo hoo! Can't wait.

New Year, Old Memories

Jeff Kaye....so many memories....




(I hope this never leaves Youtube..I can't figure out how to save it otherwise).

Holiday time 2019

Tom and Roberta at Dooney's Pub

      I was delighted to have Tom join me for the last DEAR lunch of the year. Sadly, he couldn't make it to Mark's open house nor the annual Christmas Eve morning breakfast with the old Fifth Grade Teachers group this morning....and I can't believe I didn't take any pictures at either event! It was good to see Allan and Judy, Ron, Kathryn and Chuck, Jackie and Harry. All seem to be doing well and will be praying for and keeping Tom in their thoughts.

    We saw Star Wars at 1:15 a.m. Thursday night and got home so late I decided I might as well go right to the 5 a.m. Max class! We haven't gotten to Bombshell yet, but I was happy to go with Marcia yesterday to see Jo Jo Rabbit, which we both really liked.

     Oh, did I mention Trump was impeached? Yes. I am not making public comments about him but my inner thoughts are very dark.

   

Garth Brooks at our Prospectors! (December 2, 2019)

No, sadly, I didn't win tickets and wasn't there, but Tony Romeo posted this ending performance on Facebook for those of us at home.



and this one, too
