What a day. I got up feeling better than yesterday. We watched our church service streaming online, (which was so nice.) Now, I’m back to running a temp now and coughing quite a bit, again. I think I have tracked how I was exposed to this virus. I have 5 other family members now showing signs. Today, I started a…

Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 7
My husband came home from Minneapolis a week ago, today. By this point, I had purchased our groceries and was buckling my seat for what I thought the week might bring. I can’t believe it has been a week. We’ve taken classes, played games, and eaten almost every meal together around our table. My younger children have suntans from the…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 6
We’ve spent much of our day cleaning in the yard again. We have pressure washed a good bit of the house. We are working to clear trees that have fallen following a season of lots of rain and storms. We planted an entire bed of zinnias and sunflowers. (I’m super-excited about these!) I took photos…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 5
Today’s menu: Breakfast- Grits and a mandarin orange (thankful for fresh fruit in the house!) Lunch- Leftover fajitas (These turned out pretty great! I wasn’t sure since they already had sour cream on them.) Dinner– Taco Salad (I’m trying to use up the salad greens we have in the fridge. This was a pretty great way to make good use…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 4
I had a friend use the phrase, “makeover your leftovers”. That is a good motto for what we are doing in our home, too. Today’s meals: Breakfast- Bran Muffins from the freezer with Little Smokies we found from Christmas, (also in the freezer) Lunch- Chili Mac and saltines (the chili I made yesterday cooked with elbow macaroni from the pantry)…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 3
Day 3- No symptoms. We are still hearing stories. We haven’t had to go to the store. I see some folks finding what they need at local stores, and some are leaving empty-handed. Our meals today have been good. I think we are enjoying family time around our table together. I made broth from my last rotisserie chicken. The chicken…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 2
And here we are…a day in. The world seems to be on edge. The news is full of heart-breaking stories, BUT GOD. “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” Psalm 42:11 Today, we started trying to create some type of…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 1
If you had told me a week ago that I would be writing about being quarantined in my home, it would have sounded like a work of fiction. Paul was in Minneapolis when we started seeing this virus taking its grip on our country. As a result of sporting events across the nation being cancelled, his company’s entire fleet of…
