A DOSE OF GRANDKIDS, AND A DOSE OF ORGANIZING

Wow! The world is changing so much! It’s rather crazy out there. Have you washed your hands lately?? Sterilized your light switches and door knobs? Are you under a Lock Down or Shelter In Place? We are learning a whole new way of life, and we are under a Shelter In Place mandate.

The empty shelves at the Grocery Store

We can go to the grocery store, and stay 6 ft. away from other customers. Many of the shelves are bare, because people are hoarding toilet paper, sterilization products and various kinds of food. I tried ordering, online, at our local HEB store. I went and picked up my order. Luckily, I had to wait on the car in front of me to get their order. Meanwhile, they brought another load of groceries out, and called my name. WHAT? I already had my order. The gal had given me the wrong order, and so they unloaded my trunk and put in the new order. They’re doing the best they can, but having lots of people from other departments help them out.

Batman and the Princess…they kind of fought over the magic wand.
Such pretty rainbows!
And then they mixed the paints together. Oh brother!
Teaching them to play Mother , May I?
Finally, even Batman needed a nap!

At the beginning of our Shelter In Place order, my grandkids came and visited from Austin area. They stayed the week with us…they were on their Spring Break. My youngest grandson, Isaac, came for a couple of days to join them. They were delightful and playing and playing. We did some Nana school, made green pancakes for St. Patrick’s Day, and Batman took care of the Princess. He finally wore out. Boppa and Nana were also worn out. But it was entertaining for us, and it was so quiet after they left.

I sold this for $65.

I discovered Facebook Market Place, about a week before our mandate. I was excited to sell my old milk can to a guy from Wichita. He was so excited! I also sold some old VCR videos that I used in the classroom. Since then, I haven’t tried much to sell anything.

Organizing on the futon.
The futon also serves as the garage for the cars.
oh dear. Toys everywhere.
The mess.
I feel calmer now. My daughter painted the big monkey. It’s little bitty dots.

I was thinking about selling the futon, that folds out into a bed, in the playroom. It is a small room, and it just took up too much room. The grandkids don’t usually sleep on it anyway. But when I folded it up, it made such a difference in the room, that I kept it. It was a good place to sit. I organized the playroom, recycling a stacked drawer cart that we had in the garage. I put it in the closet, and put extra things in those drawers. Sent a bunch of things to Goodwill. It all looks a lot neater. Now…just to keep it that way.

We just bought paint to work on the inside of our house. That, and working outside in the flower beds, will be our next project. I’ve started on a closet that is driving me crazy. I gave a couple of piano lessons over Zoom. I have much admiration for teachers, who are using Zoom for their lessons. What a neat app!

How are you doing? Everyone have enough essentials? I’m missing my friends. Need to play some poker!!! Need to play some Bunco! But I’m blessed to be able to walk the neighborhood, and have enough food. Everyone stay healthy! I know it’s hard to respond on here…let me know on Facebook or Instagram as to how you are doing.

Thinking of you,

Grandma Sherry
