So some of them said flour and yeast were short... so I got those and then it happened here. Now they say cleaning and clothing and canning items etc so this is interesting. Our community is helpful!

Like a line is there between say your and your parents farm and you are their carers.... and just like that you cannot get to them. It is terrible and people are going to be ruined or worse. We will keep fighting. It is not right a baby cant see their paediatrician. It is not right cancer patient cant get to treatment. Nurses and teachers cant get to work! And farmers cant tend to their animals! Yes you can bet we are fighting! Thank you!

My niece, who is her last year of high school, received a call that she had been in close contact with someone with Covid. She was instructed to quarantine for fourteen days. Her dad was sent home from work to quarantine also. My sister, who works at the hospital, was told she could continue to work. <br /><br />Everything is very confusing. One place says handle Covid this way and other places says another way. No wonder we can't get it under control!<br /><br />I went shopping Monday and added some more to the pantry. I plan to do an inventory again this week and see what else I might need to add. I continue to see empty shelves and announcements of shortages. With us heading into fall and then winter I don't forsee that improving. <br /><br />As hard as thing may be, or become, all we can do is keep moving forward.

I do think the mood could get worse as the election gets closer. So I agree on your idea to prepare. <br />The blackberries sound beautiful. Jars or jam are lovely gifts. And your camp out! Your Grandson will love it! So exciting. I would love to do this! I will remember this idea. Kids would think that is so exciting. I hope the online schooling goes well and he gets along well with it.

My list doesnt always all get done... but I have a good go at it. Well this helps me. Yes it is different now but I can plan what I want to do t home, make etc.<br />I think this is a time for projects or maybe even learning a new skill that we never had time to do before. This makes it less frustrating and more useful, time wise.<br />The property does have part in South Australia. Your idea is good and this week we have been looking into if this would work! <br />Your harvest sounds good even if not as good as most years. It all counts!

Apart from some discomfort for him lying still for 4 hours as it was necessary for the test he did well when they helped him turn to alleviate the pain.<br /><br />With Lucy and Sidney's pediatrician can the pediatrician travel to them for a home visit ?. The reason I am suggesting this is that doctors can travel over the borders as they have a medical exemption to do so as part of their job. I know this as we have a few close friends who are doctors. <br /><br />I hope your city trip goes well and you get what you need and get out as we did :).<br /><br />Thank you for your encouragement.<br /><br />Sewingcreations15 (Lorna).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-45457807380756418412020-08-16T16:03:08.594-07:002020-08-16T16:03:08.594-07:00Jenny, I loved reading your post and hearing that ...Jenny, I loved reading your post and hearing that you found things you and your d-i-l need.
