More ribbon came in today so I got to make more face masks. I had finished making 25 yesterday and have another 25 either made or pinned. I should finish them this evening or in the morning. Have one more ribbon ordered so I can make the last 25. I need to decide if I want to make more. Amazon is really slow these days (understandably) and if I want to make more I need to get things ordered as it is taking 7 – 10 days to get things in.
Had a neat experience with the face masks this afternoon. I went to the grocery store to mail a package and the guy that checked me out didn’t have a mask on. I had taken two extra with me into the store. He gratefully accepted my offer and took one. The girl that was bagging my groceries said she had two of them already and declined my offer.
I went out to the parking lot and as I was getting in my car I saw a lady about my age getting out of her car to go into the store. Something told me to give her a mask. When I offered it to her she first asked how much I was selling them for. I told her it was free. She started to cry. She told me she had been afraid to go in the store as she didn’t have a mask to wear. She was very appreciative of me giving her one. Made my day! Now I know why I am making them and how to get rid of them.
Other than making masks and planting the flowers Jim got yesterday I didn’t do much. I fixed chicken chimichangas for dinner. Tried a new recipe – they were good.
It was another beautiful day here in Stillwater. Temperature was in the mid 70’s and light wind. We took a one-mile walk after dinner. I wore a sweater but shouldn’t have as I took it off and had to carry it.
I didn’t do any home work for the Crisis Text Hot Line program today. Decided to take the weekend off. I will get it finished up Monday and Tuesday. I did go back and read back through all the lessons. They make more sense now that I have the context of what they are teaching.
I got a letter from my brother Gene today. It was good to hear from him. I haven’t written a letter to someone for two days now. Some days I can’t make myself do it and some days I write three or four. Maybe the urge will hit me yet tonight.
Stillwater is lifting their shelter in place orders May 1. The governor of OK has decided to open the state even more and it is hard to have one city closed when the rest of the state is open. Phase One allows for beauty shops, pet grooming, etc. type of shops open. If after two weeks the case count doesn’t jump they go to Phase Two which opens restaurants, etc. Phase Three comes two weeks after that again if case counts don’t jump. That allows churches, etc to open. It will be interesting to see what KS decided to do. KS has a democrat as a governor and surprise surprise the governor in OK is Republican. Time will tell which one is wiser.
Tomorrow we will watch church on Facebook live at 11:00. No other plans than that. Hard to believe May will be here next week.
It was another easy day for me. I am grateful when they happen. I can’t make them happen but I do attempt to remember to be grateful for them when they do. I had a long streak when they didn’t happen that I am extra grateful for them right now.
Grateful for the letter from my brother today, grateful for the lady that accepted a face mask today, and grateful for my peaceful valley.
