Another week of quarantine

I didn't write this week, because there really hasn't been anything to write about.  One day has literally blended into another.  In fact, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday could not have been less distinctive.  Yesterday, today, and tomorrow Catherine is working so that helps us better keep track of the days.  We also did a video chat with some friends last evening.  Overall, we are generally hanging in there.  Because of meetings and video conferences, things are beginning to have a little more of a schedule.

We did venture to see my mom today.  She was having trouble with her cell phone, and that is not something she is going to be able to handle on her own.  I took Thomas along because let's be honest, his tech knowledge far surpasses mine!  We were able to help with a few things at my grandmother's house while we were there.  I was also able to bring home the one thing I truly wanted from her house.  It was a Christmas decoration I had given her five years ago.  It was a table top decoration that listed all of the names of the great-grandkids.  One has been born since then, but otherwise it was complete.  I will enjoy having that at the holidays.  Mom also sent home some pictures of my family that we had given to G.G.  She even sent home my own high school senior picture!  It is kind of fun to have those things.  Mom's rules are that if something was given to G.G. as a gift, the giver has first dibs.  I'm not sure there would be much there from me beyond the pictures.  I don't plan to ask for much else.  To be honest, my memories, and the pictures I've taken over the years mean more to me than most other things!

Happy Good Friday!
