Then I slowed WAY down. I had a list of things I could/should do...like clean out the spare room which has become the "dump it in there" room. None of it has happened. I've read books, gained some weight, streamed some shows, sewed a few masks, given my daughter fabric for masks so shed didn't try to find fabric online (and it didn't even leave a dent). I think many of us are in the same place. Enjoy your week and any time you get with the grandkids.Rochelle aka Bella Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493294172036878044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-68548353867043829702020-05-30T15:16:54.142-07:002020-05-30T15:16:54.142-07:00So, how about I sew you something and you sort out...So, how about I sew you something and you sort out my pictures? Well, yes that would be an unfair trade, so let's not. This is such an unusual time that I think it's both unfair and unrealistic to expect we should be PRODUCTIVE, in the way only Americans can have such expectations. Although desk assembly and a donut that's sugar free are both worthy accomplishments. You make me laugh a little every week, thank you.Robbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963176990398590719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-20158094946840506272020-05-30T08:21:54.122-07:002020-05-30T08:21:54.122-07:00Going through all your photos is a huge accomplish...Going through all your photos is a huge accomplishment! Not to mention all the other things you've gotten done. Go with the flow of the moment. Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm trying to muster the motivation to go through old print photos. They have been organized but never purged so are full of bad prints. I'm also purging in other areas of the house. Trying to take advantage of the motivation when it strikes. Sometimes it's sewing. Sometimes it's yard work. Sometimes it's purging. Whatever it is, at least it's progress.Anne / Springleaf Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114887911414187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-15577666862026860032020-05-30T08:00:57.410-07:002020-05-30T08:00:57.410-07:00People are saying things are open and I am saying ...People are saying things are open and I am saying not so fast!

These are the times that try men's souls, or something like that. We need to acknowledge our feelings and give them the space they need. I do fine most of the time, but when my daughter sent me a photo of her oldest son's teachers in masks, holding an encouraging sign at the end of their driveway, I cried for all the children who have lost something this year. And then, the next day she threw her kids a Star Wars Christmas party with food and decorations to help relieve their boredom. Life these days is really a roller coaster. Be good to yourself Cindy. You're doing fine.Charlotte M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09017648602174503289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-18341301915074542622020-05-29T17:34:01.098-07:002020-05-29T17:34:01.098-07:00Your plant is a type of sedum.
