The last time I posted was March 19. Here we are on day 50 of our stay at home quarantine orders from the governor. We have tried to abide by the rules, only going out to grocery shop, buy a take out meal now and again and go to medical appointments. I have broken quarantine twice. Once to check on something at the airport and once to look for a dress at the second-hand stores in Idaho. Otherwise, we have behaved ourselves.
Except for missing church, the quarantine really has not changed much in our daily routine. I still stay home and do housework and yard work as usual. Rick still goes to work at the office because he was not sent to work at home and Nathaniel still goes to work at the grocery store. The only thing that gets confusing is we lose track of the days with Sunday being a stay at home day just like the rest of the week.
We are grateful our pastor has been uploading the sermons to Youtube so we can still get the spiritual nourishment we would normally get on Sunday. That has been good.
I am grateful for spring and being able to spend time out working in the yard and planting a garden this year. It helps break up the day and gives me some good outdoor time that is good for me.
We try to go for walks each evening and we have gotten to visit with our neighbors from a distance. That has been nice to get to know the neighborhood more.
We are thankful so far that God has spared us and our loved ones from this plague. We know that as the state is opened up more that the number of cases will rise again. We pray that we can escape it, but if not, that God would be merciful to us.
Our daughter got engaged and has planned her wedding for July 25...we will be flying to NC for the wedding. We pray that the airlines will not be full so that we will have less chance of being around someone who might be sick. We pray that the wedding guests will all be well too. Going to the wedding is actually scarier to me than the travel out and back for it. But we don't want to miss this special day.
