Thursday - April 23

Rainy and chilly Thursday at Lake James    We watched the 2nd episode of "The Last Dance" and then I started a series "Call the Midwife" which took place in 1957 in London.    Oh my.....after 3 episodes (actually after the first), I am sooo hooked!

So today the IL and NC governors issued new stay-in-place orders,     5/8 for NC (1 week more than originally scheduled) and 5/31 for IL (another month)! 

Connor will graduate on May 13th as planned but it will be a virtual Mass on facebook at 6 PM with no graduates present, of course!

It rained off and on all day - really chilly out there!   Good day to hunker down!    It was a far cry from last night's weather for our "distancing" picnic - beautiful weather!

Big news for our family....................Liam and Connor (and Anne) are getting a new puppy on May 15th.    He is 1 month old today.    Gibson is an Australian Shepherd and is named after Patrick's favorite guitar.    Our other grand dog (Jinx) here in NC is also an Australian Shepherd - very protective of children.

Mark is a happy camper with new computer that arrived today!    

On this gloomy, wet day, here's something to make you smile - saw this on our walk a few days ago!

Pretty clematis climbing the mailbox

Another fun night of euchre - Anne and I beat Bob and Judy 3 out of 5 - more close games!
