Life in close proximity to your spouse and fur-kids can be fun, but also a little disturbing.
For instance, I never knew George had this ability before...but here he is giving Gracie a deathly laser stare.
I'm not sure I'm going to sleep well tonight after seeing this. I recall a movie when I was a kid that my cousin Bonnie took me to see (and shouldn't have!) called Village of the Damned.
The children in the movie had these freaky eyes and could cause all kinds of sinister things. I really was too young to see it, but apparently she was stuck babysitting me and she wanted to go...so along I went. I had bad dreams for a long time.
And now I find out I have a demonic cat.

One of my favorite things to make are these little tote bags. They are a nice size for carrying a few things to meetings, in the car and such.
I had a bunch of the material cut out and packaged ready to go from the last time I worked on them, so it was full steam ahead!
Pretty soon I ran out of the Pellon for the inserts and that project came to a halt. So it was off to JoAnn's for supplies.
With their new social distancing policy only ten people are allowed in the store at a time. So, I arrived at 9:30 and stood with the others in my early group for half an hour.
The first thing was the rush to the cutting table for elastic. I was told they'd only give you one package...but they didn't have any to give. So I went in search of the Pellon needed and was prepared to purchase the entire 10 yard bolt but there was a two yard limit. Apparently interfacing is used in some of the masks people are making, but this would be too heavy for that. But...I didn't want to argue, these people are working hard in this strange time to accommodate people.
There is a wonderful woman in our park who is making and giving away masks and I went to see what hers looked like. They were much more time consuming than what I was doing and she had a list of about 60 people waiting for masks from her. It's amazing how many she's done for our residents.

Everything is shut down due to Covid-19 and people are entertaining themselves by walking and biking. I've even taken the cats out for a stroll just to move my body a little and soak up some fresh air and sunshine.
The pool is pretty sad looking with nobody there. Oh wait, there was someone in there yet when this was taken. Well trust me, it's empty now.
The hot tub is the little square in the back.
The bump out area is where we play water volleyball. I miss that the most right now. It's so much fun...just a lot of laughter and silliness.
This shot was provided earlier and I just had to work it into a blog post some how.

I had a pleasant surprise when one day my neighbor came riding up in her bike with a basket full of roses.
Our mutual friend, Delrae, has a lovely rose bush and she granted permission to cut them and distribute to friends.
They were lovely to enjoy visually and had a lovely scent as well.

The cats seemed to have noticed that something is off kilter.
We've never been home this much before and I'm not sure if they are enjoying all the extra time we're here or resenting our intrusion into their routine.
They seem to like all the extra lap time, but now the weather is getting warmer and they seem to prefer the floor or windows more. Or maybe they're getting tired of us.
We feel that we are becoming more in tune with their life. We sleep more, eat more and lounge around a lot. It's not a bad life. I think we're on to something here.
