Quarantine Day 44

Emmy has hit her proverbial wall. She is so bored that she asks me to just drive us around. We just drive. She listens to the radio, does her dances, and laughs honorably at my jokes. We went late one night so that we could see the light show on the 'new' bridge downtown. It is pretty cool and I am glad we finally did it. It seems like this is making us taking a lot of time to do things we never thought to do before.

Quarantine Day 43

During one of our drives, we headed downtown to see the lights on the bridge. They are pretty amazing. But the strangest part was how empty Beale Street was!

Quarantine Day 42


Quarantine Day 41

The hardest part of this has been staying away from the people I love. The Jackson kids are just about the best thing ever and I miss them terribly. They send me sweet Easter pictures and I replied by sending them this hug:)

Quarentine Day 40

Lots of crafts.

I have made ornaments, shirts for John's band, shirts for me, shirts for Tara's family. Lots of crafts.

Quarantine Day 39

In an effort to find things to do, I was coloring pages in my adult coloring book which I then mailed to our friends. At 44 years old, I still am an excellent colorer.

I also had John draw an outline of me on an old row of fax paper. Then I decorated it and sent it to the Jackson kids that it was a hug from me. I am sure they are currently asking their family "why is Aunt Tara so weird?"

I had a doctor appointment so the whole family rode with me. I waited in the parking lot and the nurse motioned to me to enter and gave me my mask. Before we left I told Emmy to put on some pants and she replied that she thought she didn't have to go inside. I told her she didn't but we still had to wear pants!

On the way home, I noticed that my favorite lunch spot with my friend Tina was open for pick up so I got us an order to go and John a margarita--there are a few perks. I called Tina and told her to meet me on the porch with a plate and a knife and not a single question was asked.

I made a picnic table for the squirrels in our yard.

Quarantine Day 37

Each year, we attend the FedEx Family House Gala to support the house that we as a company and we as a family support so much. This year, the gala was postponed. It certainly did not feel right to give up my fancy dress and heels to continue my pressure washing.

Well, this was an odd Easter.

Quarantine Day 25

A few months ago, there was a goofy hoax going around that birds were fake. The ideas was that birds are really cameras they government uses to spy on us. Nothing like a good crisis to expand on hoaxes.
