Just Keeping on...

Well, it's been about 2 weeks...we are still social distancing.  I leave the house only to go to the market, about once a week.  John is, of course, still considered essential so he's going to work every day.  I'm not happy about that but he is being careful.  His temp is taken each day before he enters the hospital and he really doesn't have any contact with anyone who might be sick.  Mom is being really good about being kept inside the house. I took her for a ride yesterday but didn't let her out of the car.  We drove thru Braum's and got ice cream sundaes then ate them while parked in the parking lot.

It has been reported that the US was more prepared for the pandemic than a lot of other countries...yet we are still seeing so many cases and deaths.  I know that we are doing all we can to 'flatten the curve' here.  But there are so many people who are just not getting that it takes everyone participating to be successful in the shortest amount of time.  The longer it takes for everyone to stay at home, the longer the quarantines will last!  

I was able to finish my Round 1 socks for Sock Madness 14 and get accepted into the next round.  I admit I really don't care for colorwork, and these were a trial for me.  And I had to perform some sock surgery before they were finally accepted by the moderators.  But they are done and that's all that counts.

The legs on this pair are almost 9 inches long...not quite knee highs but definitely longer than normal.  The round ends early Thursday so I only have a few days before the next round begins...hopefully no colorwork this time.  I'm on a faster team than I've ever been on before so we will have to see if I go further than Round 2.  I'll keep you up to speed.  Promise.

A cuteness picture...no explanation necessary.

He's over 4 months old now and quite cute.  His feathers are coming in on his belly, ears, tail and butt.  And he's so smart!  My buddy in the studio during this time of quarantine!  

Thanks for stopping by. Be safe. Stay Home!
