Check In: Day 56
Day 56 – Two months. Eight weeks. Wow! I never thought it would be like this. For Mother’s Day tomorrow I have asked for a day of family cleaning without complaints from anyone. They are usually pretty good about cleaning but I want a whole day of wiping baseboards, scrubbing the kitchen floors and cupboards,…
Ham & Cheese Braid
Day 55 – It is predicted to stay cooler through the middle of May. With the highs struggling to get to 50 degrees people are getting a little stir crazy here. The nights are getting longer – this was at 8:50 pm the other night. The beaches are open but so far people are mostly…
Western Quiche
Day 54 – Trying to find new ways to amuse ourselves. We are doing tons of cleaning now. For the longest time I think we resisted it. Don’t get me wrong we sort of cleaned more than usual but not the really deep cleaning I wanted. The scrub the living room carpet, take everything out…
Twice Baked Ham and Cheese Potatoes with Fried Eggs
Day 53 – Looking at the report in “The New York Times” the other day about how deaths are projected by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to be possibly double by June 1st and that cases of Covid-19 are still going up made me incredibly sad. It was one of those days where I…
Grilled Tandoori Chicken Skewers
Day 52 – The weather has been super nice here for the past few days. It has gone to 60 or 70 degrees from the low to mid 40s of the past month. It seems like everyone is outside. We live on a corner and the traffic has definitely picked up quite a bit. It…
Old Fashioned Au Gratin Potatoes
Day 51 – With the “Stay Home. Stay Safe” order extended here until May 28th both kids are searching for what this all means for them. We had the dreaded conversation in our house about school in the fall. Both kids have been questioning what school will look like when they go back in September…
Checking In: Day 49
Day 49 – Week 7 down. We are doing well. Now that we have had 2 birthdays and a graduation here it seems that this is normal now. We have a new routine and things are settling down. My son still has 5 more weeks of virtual school so the goal is to get him…
Loaded Baked Pierogi Casserole
Day 48 – Happy May! I think we have finally hit our stride in all this after almost 7 weeks. My daughter is finally beginning her dance classes, via Zoom, next week. This will bring some order to her life again. My son’s high school classes have settled into a routine after two weeks…
Spinach, Feta, and Mushroom Quiche
Day 47 – I had a meeting the other day with some of the agents in the travel agency I work for and when they asked how we were all coping with the changes in our lives. I mentioned how in some ways I have really liked this time and am settling in to it….
Honey Cornbread
Day 46 – Today is my son’s birthday. Birthday number 2 in “Safe home. Stay safe.” I love that we don’t have to order out for the kids birthdays they want me to cook their favorite dinners. We did order a cake from the local grocery store decorated with Star Wars for his birthday. We…
Texas Beef Chili – Slow Cooker
Day 45 – One of our favorite television shows for a long time was “The Big Bang Theory.” My son is a Sheldon. For a long time he would look at us and say “I am nothing like him!” We would all laugh because that is something Sheldon would say. Now he can look back…
