| Dallas county update for June 2, 2020 |
Just saw this on the news this morning. Our numbers (Dallas county) are back up to 200+ new Covid 19 cases daily... but no deaths (that's something).
And of course the protesting is on the news constantly now also. This is OK. People have a right to protest! And there's certainly a reason to protest. However, I do draw the line at looting and damaging property. IMO it negates the power of the protest. But of course it's the few, not the majority that cause the problem - and it's a shame as these few could possibly ruin the good that could be accomplished.
*****************************
Also DH went to see the Oncologist yesterday. It was his first visit after his radiation treatments. I asked him to be sure and ask the doctor if he thought it would be safe now for us to get together with family (kids and grandkids).
I see others doing this and even saw pictures on Facebook of some of our family in New Orleans getting together with their grandkids.
I really don't mind the "sheltering at home" so much... but do miss being around the kids. However, I do realize the risk and know that it may be too soon.
Anyway, the doctor said he would recommend waiting another month... and see how things go.
It's all seems so strange... but we will do what we have to do.
********************************
And our daughter sent me this video of their cat trying to get their old dog to play...
It's pretty funny. Gizmo (the cat) is young and extremely playful and Willow (the dog) is old and very patient.
Also my grand daughter who is 7 was texting me this weekend. She has 8 fish... and was telling me what kind they were.... and sending pics on the phone. DH was concerned because she said that she had Tetra in the same tank with some others and he was afraid that the Tetra would eat the others.
So I texted her "what do you call a Tetra?" meaning that I needed to see a picture of what she called a Tetra. Well, she was quiet for a while (I guess thinking about what I'd asked). Then she texted me:
(DH and I got a good laugh out of that)

Thanks for sharing my world... such as it is. Now I will start reading your blogs and step into yours!
Have a good week. Stay home and stay safe...
Hugs,
Rian
That's precious. I can understand why you long for time with the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a strange thing to be separated from your family. Thank goodness for Skype, text, and email!
DeleteCan you do driveway visits? You know, drive over to their house, you stay on one end of the driveway, they stay at least 10 feet away on the other end of the driveway. Not ideal, but better than nothing. Agree: It all seems so strange... but we do what we have to do.
ReplyDeleteTom, I'm not sure that would work with our grandchildren. Trying to tell my grand daughter that she can't run up and hug us would be near impossible.... and on my side too. Best Skype to be safe. This will end at some point, right?
DeleteStay safe and keep the faith.
ReplyDeleteYou too,Tabor!
DeleteTexting with your granddaughter sounds like so much fun! Something more for me to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteAnother month, that's too bad. I hope you're able to get together with family soon.
Take care and stay well!
Texting, Skyping, and writing letters to each other is fun! I will keep these letters forever!
DeleteGizmo needs a playmate! It looks like the dog isn't having any of it. And I do so hope that by next month you will be able to see the grands again. It's tough but necessary.
ReplyDeleteGizmo has not only Willow (the old dog), but Moose (the Great Dane) to aggravate. He is a hoot!
DeletePoor Gizmo, just wants someone to play wif.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, he can get into enough trouble all by himself. Flew across my grand daughter's bedroom one time, hit the shelf, and knocked over the little fish tank!
DeleteYour grand daughter is funny. Children are so literal. Hope the month goes fast for you.
ReplyDeleteLaughed at the cat trying to sneak up on the dog.
Kids and animals - they do make you laugh! Don't know what we'd do without them.
DeleteSweet tesponde on the fish. And cute, cute, cute video. I Love Cats! Ya, I think it's too soon also, but I'm always Leary of the unknown.
ReplyDeleteWe love cats too... they are so funny. And I'm with you about the unknown. Wait and watch seems to be the call.
DeletePrayers for DH. Gizmo's antics had me laughing out loud and the granddaughter conversation is priceless. Glad you have bright spots amid medical uncertainties.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prayers, LC. Gizmo and grand daughter keep me laughing.
Deletei am praying for world peace, hoping this unrest comes to an end soon!!
ReplyDeletethe video was absolutely adorable, someone really needs a playmate!!! your granddaughter is adorable, that text is definitely worth saving!!! i hope your husbands stays well, i agree with staying home and away from others. i have MS and that is the advice i am still getting!!!
and thank you for the sweet, sweet comment you left on my blog. it meant the world to me!! xo
Me too, Debbie. I do think prayers are powerful.
DeleteStaying home and away from others is good advice I know... just hard to keep up when there doesn't seem to be an end... but it's the best thing to do to avoid the risk.
And you are welcome. I do so enjoy your blog... and your pictures. Please continue to share with us.
