Grands, Coffee, and Cookies! Our Weekend.....

We have great grandchildren in Big Spring and they are homeschooling, too.

Peircyn is doing his homework.

Chandy is wearing many hats these days with Teacher being her latest!

Now that everyone in her household is home nearly all day everyday.....it's a wonder she doesn't live in the kitchen! Thank goodness her husband is a Grill Master!

I love that we stay in touch and Chandy encourages her children to not forget 

Grandmom and Granddad!

Did you see how Bella was motioning Piecryn to say hello??

She is a Little Chandy!

Granddaughter Kaitlyn!

Don't you love that long beautiful hair??

She was up late Friday night baking a cake!

I celebrated Friday night with a homemade Margarita!

Not nearly as good as a restaurant one but it will do.

Louis Dean and I went out to admire the night sky before going to bed.

No matter how badly the world is reeling from this terrible Covid 19 -

the night follows day and the seasons and time continue.

Saturday morning I made fancy French press coffee using the Christmas gifts my son, Jesse, gave us.

Amber gave her dad that John Wayne cup a couple of years ago and I finally talked him into using it!

I firmly believe in using the nice things we have! If not now - then when??

Every day I video chat on messenger with the grandquads.

I love seeing their faces and hearing their voices.

Saturday afternoon I baked cookies.

The chocolate chip cookie recipe has been well used.

I believe it's the same one on the chocolate chip bag but I always use this one in the book. 

I don't always date it since I make it so often....but this time I did.

I nearly wote something about taking cookies to people during the Coronavirus....but I didn't.

This morning (Sunday) after watching church online.....

I went out to deliver the cookies.....sometimes leaving them on the porch or maintaining 6 feet between us as I pitch them the bag. I carry a can of Lysol spray with me now, too.

After my deliveries, I decided to go ahead and pick up a few groceries.

Using that can of Lysol, I sprayed a paper towel and went first to Aldi and wiped down the buggy handle before shopping. Everyone was very polite is keeping our 6 feet of protection between all of us. I called Louis Dean to tell him I was on my way home and he asked me to go to Krogers and get him a box of wine. Not that he was out but he doesn't want that to happen!

I found the shortening there as well as the wine and then I decided to go ahead and look for some toilet paper.

Nope!

I will have to shop a Senior Shopping Hour next Tuesday.

I made a steak dinner with salad, baked potatoes and garlic bread tonight.

I meant to make this yesterday but as I was turning off the lights and getting ready to go to bed - it hit me that I forgot to cook dinner!! Louis Dean stayed up in his music room learning a new song and he was still up when I checked on him at 3:00 AM and at 6:30 AM!!

By the time I woke up at 8:30, he had finally gone to sleep in the guest room.

So he was sleeping while I delivered cookies and shopped for groceries but he was awake to haul them all in for me. He also had two rags with Lysol on them and wiped down everything he brought in. We are being very careful.

Tonight I painted on Winston....

I just need to stop!

It's much harder for me to paint something paticular for someone.

I'm always afraid it won't be what they expected.

And a portrait is really supposed to look like its subject!!

Now we are ready to start another week.
