ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
I know exactly what you’re saying — Atlanta malls closing at 7 — does that mean everyone before 7 is totally well??
What of the partying college spring breakers in Florida partying like it’s 1999??
Maybe they all know something I don’t, meanwhile I quest for toilet paper
Some things they don’t know. The value of good health, a clear conscience, a sterling character, and a fabulous faith in Christ. Poor souls.
May the Will of Almighty God be fulfilled as we all surrender to what has been put in place by our Governments to assist us. May the truth that knowing our ‘eternal ‘ destination is more important than our time on this earth be proclaimed. . Take care all. Take normal healthy precautions. Let us all worry less about the personal needs ie like Toilet Paper. I have been praying in gratitude for what I still have and with His enabling gently and not letting FEAR that is not of the Lord influence how and what I am still able to shop for. Isolation is our normal lifestyle but we do have to get food. Blessings and divine Strength for you ALL.
Hey, Faye, do you notice how often we are on the same wave length regarding the real priorities of life. Taking normal healthy precautions. Yes. I guess normal now has to be a bit abnormal, however, since we are not in normal circumstances. 😀
I supposed closing at night gives the impression, albeit insufficient and false, that they are doing ‘something’ without giving up their profits. LOL.
Maybe you are right. A bit like “I can’t do 100% but I’ll do 80%.” 😀
Yes, just like that! 😂
“Why close bars, restaurants, casinos at midnight? What can the Bug do after midnight that cannot be done before? Seriously, friend, I would like an answer.”
You are absolutely right Oneta. We all need answers for these kind of stupidity.
Namaste🙏🙏, no handshake😀
I didn’t know before that we had been doing “social distancing.” Won’t change our friendship much, huh? Oh, yes, we are “social distancing” friends. No handshakes, holy kisses, or bear hugs. 😀
If and when I meet you in this world, be ready for a bear hug. No nameste, no handshakes. Beyond that, I can’t promise😀
😀
Almost everything is closed where I live. The restaurants and bars are all closed, except for takeout food from the restaurants. The schools are closed, the college is closed, the library is closed, museums, the civic center, and gym facilities are all closed. The courts, however, are still operating. I have jury duty right now, and it won’t end until September 4. I was one of the 12 jurors on a trial last Wednesday. Another trial is scheduled for this coming Tuesday. We don’t have any way of knowing how many trials may be coming up between now and September.
The jury box and the jury room are much too small for social distancing. Almost half of us are over 60. Several of the jurors were coughing last week. But we have to do our civic duty, or risk jail time and/or steep fines.
I don’t mind doing my civic duty, but this is a little unnerving!
Much as I hate having my wings clipped, I’m grateful that I do not have to go where there might be danger. Hope you can wear a breathing mask. We’ll outlast this. Hang in.
The jury clerk just informed us today that the US Supreme Court has ruled that all jury trials in the country must be postponed until after April 30. I am breathing a little easier, knowing that. Still, I am with you, I don’t like having my wings clipped!
Hope that all turns out for the good. Thanks for letting me know. Best to you during this trying time.
