Quarantine

Today was sunny and warm, finally a break from the winter temperatures. Everyone is tucked away in bed but me; I haven’t slept well since everything with Coronavirus started a few weeks ago. My doggie Zoey is laying beside me, keeping me company but sometimes drifting into deep dreams that cause her to wimper and wiggle her legs. Makes me wonder what she is seeing in her sleep; she’s such a good girl, I love when she snuggles up on the couch.

We recently had spring break, and now school is canceled for April due to the virus, although we have been doing e-learning at home. The kids are doing well, Zaidey has her first loose teeth, the two middle ones on the bottom.  Lincoln did great with wrestling this year, but sadly we missed the state finals due to the virus. Trinity has been missing her dance classes and school, but seems to enjoy the e-learning her teacher has organized.

Everyone is currently under quarantine due to COVID - 19, and my family has been doing our part by staying at home. We haven’t gone anywhere in two weeks except for a couple of drive up grocery orders. We’re all getting pretty stir crazy. However, we’ve gotten lots done and made some amazing memories.

Here in rural Indiana, things haven’t been too abnormal, but I hate to see so many people across the world struggling. I’ve been praying for our country to be strengthened and to have faith that we will get through this. Thankfully, Spring is here and if nothing else it lifts my spirits to see everything come back to life after a dreary winter.

Re-Purposed Suitcase

Recently re-purposed this suitcase my mother-in-law gave me, and turned it into a decorative desk in my kitchen. I originally wanted to buy a buffet for under my windows, but after looking at the cost I started to rummage around my barns for other ideas. The suitcase worked great along with an old bench from my husband’s family and a wood chair from my dad’s grandma.
