It was a nice relaxing, and peaceful morning :) We enjoyed a nice breakfast, and had some tea :) cheers to family, friends, good health,and keeping strong together :) i enjoyed some nice time here on DS this morning, writing to friends :) we've been very thankful, and so glad to be able to get in some good shopping runs, to the stores, to get items, supplies, goods, essentials for our home. it's felt very different, in recent wek, shopping, with all that's been going on. we've been stocking up on some items, and also being very safe, cautious while shopping. we bring our hand sanitizer with us,and are also careful, using our sleeves when we open the doors. with all that's been going on, things have changed for us all, and in the current times, it's best to keep safe, to be cautious, and continuing to take very good care :) around mid-morning, we were getting ready to go shopping :)



Saturday Shopping Adventure :) my mom, dad, Holly, and i enjoyed a nice car ride over to the shopping center :) We brought our hand sanitizer. We're all taking precautions. We arrived at the shopping center, and parked our minivan, and walked over to the dollar tree :) We got some shopping baskets, and began to browse around :) We wanted to get a few items, and some treasures :) we were finding some nice treasures :) we were enjoying browsing around :) we noticed the workers were wearing gloves. it felt very different in the store today. we were doing ok, and keeping safe :) it wasn't busy in the dollar tree. we got some more snacks, foods,and also some cards :)



i'm so glad i bought some cards :) i love to write cards :) my mom, dad, Holly, and i were sticking close together in the store :) on the foods aisle, a customer asked one of the long time workers there if the dollar tree was closing, she whispered something to her. my mom believes she heard, that the dollar tree may be closing on monday. our state is closing all non essential businesses on monday. we're hoping some places like the dollar tree will remain open if they can :) over by the kitchen area, i bought some more treasures :) we all then went to the checkout :) we checked out together, it went smoothly :) we're so glad, and thankful everyone being safe in the store. after we were all set, and checked out, we walked outside, and got some nice fresh air, and felt a great sense of accomplishment :) On the way home, we didn't see many cars out. with all that's going on, many people staying home, and i believe with our recent preps, it will help us to be able to stay home more, during these times. our govenor hasn't called for a shelter in place, but could soon. We're keeping strong, and all gonna make it through these times together. We're so thankful we were able to go out to shop today for a bit :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS , AND MANY HAPPY RETURNS , such hard times , glad you got your shopping ,I had my shopping delivered but so many items missing and no handsoap , really hard to get ,also some food but got most of the drinks and veg, fruit for the week , here its really bad , we have to stay indoor under advice of the government ,elderly and disabled . Not been here as I was ill in January and Charlie was sick and needed looking after , sadly she crossed the RAINBOW BRIDGE last February , I have been grieving my little one and cannot believe she is gone , she is buried in the pets cemetery and in her little coffin we put the ashes of our dogs gone over the years ,now they are all together , have visited the cemetery and we are going to plant some flower and tidy the grave , right now is just soil , Lici is all alone and sad , we need time to grieve also this virus tragedy is not helping . You have a happy party ,enjoy your birthday , give my love to your family , thank you for the cards ,you are so kind a sweet angel with a loving heart , loving hugs Lucy**
