We appreciate all of your sharings, and updates. here in our state, our govenor Ned Lamont mentioned, that it's most likely, that schools are gonna remain closed the rest of this school year. my dad and Lisa have been working a bit at domino's. their manager there, is low on workers right now, with many workers not coming in. both my dad and Lisa, are kinda nervous about going into work, with all that's going on. There's been some talk, that the manager of dominos may be closing the domino's, due to lack of workers coming in. i'll keep everyone updated. we saw on the news, about the stimulus package being passed by the senate, and that relief checks are going to be sent out. my dad, Lisa, Jenn, my brother's Bobby and Charlie, Alyssa and Aj, are all eligible to recieve the checks. it'll be very helpful, especially during these times. my brother Charlie lost his job last week, and filed for unemployment. it's been very different times, for us all, and adapting best we can right now, to all of the times, changes, and different things going on.

Happy birthday week!! :))
It looks like you’ve had a wonderful week, with lots of people sending their love and best wishes from across the miles. This year is a milestone birthday for me, and next year is a big one for you, too. Will you save up and do something extra special?
I’m sorry the layoffs are affecting your family. We heard today that those of us on contracts may not get renewed if things get really bad. Today’s count of infected people in Brisbane is 555. New York looks like something out of a horror movie. Have you seen the movie Contagion?? I recommend it, although it’s a little like life imitating art now :(
Stay safe. Sending love xxxxx

Hi Chris and Holly You are right==so many things are changing right now. But some of them are good changes. Families are forced to spend time with each other. With no outside activities, they are eating meals together and spending time with each other at home. John and I have been following the guidelines and staying safe. We are fortunate that we have John and Kelly close by that we can visit with. John and John split firewood yesterday afternoon since the weather was so perfect. Glad that your family is staying safe. John and I will also qualify for the checks. It will really help us pay the propane bills that we had throughout the winter.

Love the pictures of the birds. They are so cute. We were watching the birds at the feeder earlier this morning. We ran to the grocery store for a few things early this morning before they got busy. I was almost out of bread and was out of milk. Kelly brought up some leftover corn beef and cabbage they had last night so I won't have to cook supper this evening. I put it in the crock pot and it smells so good cooking.

I am making no bake cookies today for John and Kelly. Kelly won't make them because they never get hard for her for some reason so I told her I would make a batch for them this afternoon since she brought me supper. We love making things for each other.

Hope you and Holly have a great weekend. Enjoy baking this afternoon. Wish I could come and bake with you. It would be so much fun but we are with you in spirit. Hugs to all your family. Stay safe--Debbie John and Allie
