Just a few weeks ago I did my last blog. WOW !!! How things have changed in a few weeks. I don’t know about everyone else but. I totally took my freedom for granted. And it was freedom, I now feel almost like a prisoner in my own home. Yes we can go out nobody is standing at your door stopping you. BUT do we want to? Do we dare step out of our home with the risk of catching the “Covid-19 virus ?” I think not. And then again I need some food here and there. So out we go gloves, masks, and hand sanitizer all packed in a to go bag with us. Wiping down the car and ourselves everywhere we go. Then in the store the carts get a wipe down, and we only touch the things that we are for sure going to buy. Finally we get home and again everything gets washed, your coat, shoes, clothes, and all the groceries you brought in too. Grocery shopping has become a chore a big CHORE !!!!! I don’t like doing it anymore.

Now as though shopping is not bad enough Jamie and I are in the middle of moving from our home. We had the best layed plans. Or so we thought. Then this pandemic hit us and we were in an uproar as to how we handle this. We had a auction planned and I worked very hard getting everything ready, weeks and weeks of sorting through everything I owned. What to keep, what to get rid of and what to put into the auction. Finally the auction got close, we were all ready . Then our auctioneer decided to pull out, he didn’t want to do it because of the covid-19. I was in total disbelief. Jamie was away through this and I had to handle our next move. Now you need to realize I had my whole house set up with sale items my garage and stuff all over my yard. I was in tears as to what to do now. Lucky my friend came to our rescue and the auction was back on. We had to re-organize everything and re-label everything. And over the next 5 days setting everything up. Luckily Jamie came home through this and was able to help. Most things were done but he was my support now too. And God knows I needed his support now more than ever. I love that man so much he stood behind me and beside me with my new decision to take on a different auction company. We now had an on-line auction, much safer with our social distancing in place Off we went together now, moving forward toward our new life together. S we are having an Auction !!!!!!! As many of you might have seen as I share on my FB page constantly. Lol lol…..You can find it at Global Auction Guide, or Live Auction World. Click on Bills Consulting Services. It is an on-line auction. And is really pretty neat. We have something for everyone, household, furniture, and lots of tools and shop things, some large items a couple cars a John Deere tractor, a Kubota side by side, a truck, a sea-doo, a holiday trailer with bunk beds, and a 40 foot c-can That is to name only a few things. Over 1000 lots. So please go check it out everyone. I want you to take it away instead of me. Lol lol I am doing pretty good with getting rid of things too. Not as much attachment as I thought. Until I did my Angel cabinet. That got to me. Of course it was always my special tribute to “BJ” then we moved his old truck last week to Mac,s house. I cried as we loaded that up too., and watched it drive out of the yard. I also have a new great nephew. Who is absolutely adorable. He is 2 1/2 months old and I have not seen him since he was a month old. It is so unfair. Because you only want to show off your new baby and they can’t leave the house. Who would ever believe something like this would happen? But it is our new normal. We need to keep that amazing beautiful little boy safe and health. We will get through this and put it all behind us. Eventually !!!!!!!!! So how about those grocery stores ? I mean the shelves are bare. I would never have believed it if I had not seen it. The toilet paper craze? Only a few people in a store at a time. Only one way isles in the store and then you have to line up on the X. All for our safety. But thank good ness for all the frontline people. Who go out everyday to make life better for us all. They are the hero’s in this pandemic. If you know any thank them for what they do. For without them we would really be in trouble. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

With our new world of social distancing things are really crazy. We spend time everyday talking to our grandkids on FaceTime. It is so hard as I just want to hug and love on them. I miss that human touch and just human contact. But we want to be sure we are all healthy. So social distancing it is.

This last weekend was a Easter, it was the saddest Easter I have ever spent in my whole life. The best part was my sisters and I made a sign saying Happy Easter and we love you for my Dad. We went to the seniors lodge where he lives we went outside his window on the second floor and phoned him. We all got to see him and talk to him in person. The first time in a month. It really felt good to see him. We miss him. But it is even worse for him as he can not go out at all. He is in lockdown, only goes out to eat the rest of his time he is in his room. Long days for him. It is so sad. But really the only way to keep him safe and virus free. The statistics say that 50% of the deaths in Alberta are seniors. So let’s keep our seniors safe. Stay Away. We love you Dad ❤️💋

Jamie and I are also finding it hard to not go anywhere. Anybody who knows Jamie knows he is the social one. Keeping him away from the grandkids has been the worst. When this whole thing started he was away at work so he didn’t really see it starting. But it sure smacked him in the face when he got home. Although I always say Jamie is my best friend. I must say sometimes I want to see other people besides my best friend. Lol lol you better have a good relationship with the one your locked up with. Because it could be a long haul. I seem to spend more time on my phone calling people. That is our new socializing. As Jamie and I move into our downsizing trailer in the next couple of weeks. I hope the downsizing smaller home has come at a good time. Because there is no getting away from each other In that little place. lol lol I love you babe. Here’s to downsizing and the covid-19 virus. May we all get through this together. STAY SAFE………. EVERYONE.

Today’s saying: Hard times will always reveal true friends ❤️
