Aw, thanks Janice! I am blessed beyond measure…surely won the ‘Parent Lottery’! And I am so glad that you find some enjoyment from the blog! I really do love this little blog job of mine, but it all the more enjoyable when I know that there are readers like you on the other end of my musings who find them entertaining or useful!

You do need to stay on track with that blanket! But it really is beautiful! And we just finished watching Season 3 Ozark too! Oh my, so good! Did you finish Season 3?

Stay safe my friend!

Hugs,

Lynn

Hi Leslie,

It does seem rather ‘out of body’, doesn’t it!? And we will learn (well, I hope we will) from this experience and be better.

And Mom and Dad are hanging in there. Mom is concerned that dad will not remember her at all when this is all said and done, which is heartbreaking. The nurses try to set up a facetime between mom and dad, but that is just too much for him to grasp. I guess it is what it is. But it is a sad, ‘what it is’.

Stay safe my friend.

Hugs,

Lynn

Hi sweet friend! Mom is adapting…so proud of her. Been scrounging up jigsaw puzzles to keep her busy…she’s plowing through them!

Hugs and Kisses (socially distanced, of course!)

In reply to Chloe.

Thanks Chloe!

You are so lucky to have your parents so close. While my parents are only 5 miles away, right now that is a FAR 5 miles. And your hubby sounds like the perfect SIL…in general, we need to take care of our ‘greatest generation’…they are our treasures.

Stay safe my friend!

(Socially Distanced) Hugs…Lynn

Lynn, this is such a lovely message of perspective in this difficult time. I am so blessed to have my parents living in the apartment above our garage. Today my husband and I went out for groceries and did not just buy for us, but for them, too. They need to stay home. My husband made them sit in their recliners as he stepped inside their front door and left their groceries for them. God bless you and your mom and dad!

In reply to Penny.

So very true Penny! And kudos to your MIL! That generation is tougher than we give them credit for!

Love your idea of the group text. We haven’t done that yet, but hope to get a group happy hour tonight or tomorrow night.

Thanks for writing in my friend.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones!

Hugs,

Lynn

Your story was very inspiring. Here I was feeling sorry for myself without human contact most of the time but then I realized that our 9 person family text group is staying in touch so much more everyday than before all this began. It is really fun to even share what we are making for dinner! Especially with my mother-in-law who is 90 and still cooks a nice dinner for herself every night. Parents are so great no matter how you get them. Take care, Penny

I’ve been thinking about you and your dad on lockdown and your mama. I’m glad she is adapting ❤️. Hope you are well and hope your kids are ok and happy to be with their mom and dad–nice to have family under one roof right now. Thinking of you and sending hugs!

These are such strange times we are in right now. Almost seem like something we should be watching form afar and not in our own homes. But, it is and I too believe we will come through better, stronger and kinder.
The story of your mom and dad was sweet balm to the soul. thank you for sharing!!

Hi Lynn, loved the story about your mom and dad. Your mom sounds so fun! And just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog. I’ve been working on your beautiful Linen Stitch Throw – well, I’m trying to work on it. I have to keep unknitting because I lose track of what I’ve just done unless I’m really concentrating, haha. Watching Ozark is not a good idea while knitting, just saying. But I love the look of this blanket. So pretty. Thank you for such a positive post!
