Mari’s Mural

During the break we decided to paint the basement. Mari decided to take it one step further and is paint a mural on one wall. She drew up some drafts and a friend let us borrow a projector. Mari copied her ideas onto a clear sheet and she is off!

Daily Walks

So, it looks like we will be taking a walk every day. The sequence of events today really reminded us of life on the RV trip. We worked and did practical things all day and then in the evening we took a walk, before a late dinner. I have a feeling we have many more days like this to come.

COVID-19 Begins

It started well, but not really. We have been planning on going to Cincinnati for spring break, then coronavirus (COVID-19). Things have been getting a little weird lately, with schools closing, business closing, and social distancing increasing. We left Des Moines at about 10 in the morning, and both Susan and I were already feeling a little hesitant about traveling during this time. Literally halfway there we decided to turn around. The roads were empty, Ohio was shutting down, and it just didn’t feel right. We go to Cincinnati to be social and that wasn’t going to happen.
