Hey! Joyce is back! Yay!
1. Howdy Hodgepodgers. It's kind of fun to be back, isn't it? Last time we met was September, 2018. Tell me something big-important-happy-or sad that's happened in your life since that date. Just one thing. We don't know how long this current isolation situation is going to last and we might need to dole out our news bit by bit.
I celebrated my 53rd birthday in very low fashion and that is ok. Like I told my parents, I'm not a child, I don't really need birthday accolades and that's the truth. This is the last year I can switch the numbers around to the 30's; 35. wink.
2. Might as well get this out of the way early on...COVID-19. On a scale of 1-5 how serious are you about keeping your distance? Explain. fyi-I didn't create the scale but have seen it several places online. Also fyi-we won't only have virus related questions each week, but for this first one it feels right.

1-Not at all, living normally
2-Cautious but still going out
3-Going out as needed, mostly home or working from home, still seeing friends/family
4-Extremely limited, only going out when unavoidable, minimal contact with people
5-Full lockdown, no one in or out
Explain.
Number 4. Received a stern talking to from my own mother. Reminded me how ill I was last spring with some unknown illness that involved reoccurring pneumonia and flu like symptoms. And the very fact I am in that age group that can die.
3. Raise your hand if you think you might run out of steam in the cooking department before it's all said and done? What's something delicious you've cooked or eaten in your own kitchen in the past week?
Well, since the restaurants are closed down (I wouldn't count BK or Taco Bell as restaurants), we have been cooking and baking...boredom is setting in. I did make a pretty good chili oh and my Moms' recipe for Rum cake.
4. What's a television show or movie you've seen recently (it could be an oldie) that you really liked?
Love that show.
5. Share something funny you've seen or heard this week.

Birthday presents. I know most of you saw this on FB. Gift certificate to Erie Line Antiques, Gift Certificate to Harmony Blue (clothing/used boutique) and 1955 Chevy Nomad, my dream car with a sweet card from my son, "Maybe one day Mom, you will get a real one. Dream Big!" Although, mine is a 1956-1957 Nomad
He found this 1956 Nomad in Arizona, he said it was $75,000. I better get 3 jobs to afford it. He said, "Mom, its ok to dream and set goals. You spent four-five years in college and now look, you are graduating!"
