Dealing with the jack-asses in our lives

There are those in our resort who resent having things shut down without their permission and will expound (quite loudly) that "they are adults and can make their own decisions!"  I always have a mental image of them stamping their foot while saying this.

However, it is my belief and apparently the belief of several others that these are the people that would continue life as normal and be a threat to the rest of the community.

When I saw this cartoon, it summed it perfectly.

Puzzles are the new hot activity

One of the kind ladies out walking asked if I'd like to borrow some of her puzzles and I agreed wholeheartedly.

She stopped by and gave me a really run looking 1500 piece puzzle to do and so I gave her the 1000 piece one I finished.

It was like doing a bunch of mini puzzles.

It's good neighbors like this that  keep us going during our stay-cation.

Talking to Myself...and the Cats

I'm enjoying the extra time to be able to cook and bake, but there seems to be a lot of additional snacking going on as well.  

I made the mistake of stepping on the scale and it said "due to social distancing...one at a time please".  I was hoping that Left Brain or one of the cats was applying extra pressure behind me but no...it was me.  All me. 


I'm starting to feel I can communicate more and more with Gracie.  Here she is clearly telling me to find a pattern from my newest book.

This is puzzling

I really should be cleaning the house or something productive, but these stupid puzzles are so addicting!

It seems with the quarantine that doing jigsaw puzzles are the new hot activity.  Who would have ever thought I'd be a trend setter?

I like using my over sized cutting mat to work on as it allows me to turn the puzzle easily as I work on it.

This is the last one I finished.  It's my version of working on the garden.

Ironically, while enjoying all this quiet time and doing garden puzzles my plants in the planters seemed to have fried from lack of water.  Ooops.

Here's one way to dine out!

I've been enjoying our quiet life, but do miss eating out and going to the movies.  But these are minor interruptions.

My neighbor Wanda found a way to actual go out to eat recently.

Here are some of the lovely entrees she enjoyed lately.

All she had to do was drive herself to the hospital at 2:00 AM and have her gallbladder removed.

Boy, the things people will do to have a vacation during this time of "stay at home"!
