My husband is working from home and I am accomplishing copious amounts of knitting. The Squatter in the People's House has no business being there. The idea that he projects opening the country for business on Easter Sunday is beyond absurd. My only hope is that all the Governor's will stand their ground and keep us all home and out of the way of those who must go to work. Vigilance of the strictest order is what is required.Mundihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192233136687265457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-50747808591113996662020-03-25T17:15:08.958+00:002020-03-25T17:15:08.958+00:00Maryland has directed that all non-essential busin...Maryland has directed that all non-essential businesses close, as of four days ago (Monday that was).

Not only will you enjoy all the attendant decisions surrounding the purchase, you will bring pleasure to many when you write about said decisions, not to mention the pictures. Oh yes, it's your clear duty to light a candle in these dark times. :)nosenabookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066810098426775837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-70144619136099496752020-03-24T19:02:00.848+00:002020-03-24T19:02:00.848+00:00We are right in the middle of the country, Chicago...We are right in the middle of the country, Chicago suburbs, and the 3 states around us, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, are all on lockdown. My daughter is working for Target (groceries, pharmacy, and everything else) so she is on the front lines. The company is being very good to her, but we worry, from afar.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651495016849228263noreply@blogger.com
