Saint Paul MN - and staying home goes on.....

Not much to report here.  I am good at staying home. 
Other than the daily walk, and now bike rides, I am hanging close to home.
Not complaining at all - have a routine that fills the days.  And finding many new streets and corners of the neighborhood to wander through. 

Saint Paul MN - Another day another walk

Another day another wander. 
Been lots of great mornings this week - so a whole lot easier to get out there.

Saint Paul MN - 2 constants day to day

There are 2 constants I walk and I stay at home. 
That is life as we move from Q1 to Q2 of 2020. 
The walks get longer to keep the days from feeling that they are getting longer. 

Saint Paul MN - Celebrating 65 for Mary in 2020

Still sitting at home as part of our Covid19 effort.
So Mary got a Zoom party to celebrate he 65th Birthday.

Saint Paul MN - Another day, another walk

We are pretty consistent with our first thing in the morning walk - may miss one a week. 
Today we ran across a little neighborhood work out spot with some unique touches. 
Gotta enjoy the little things you find in the current environment.

Saint Paul MN - Happy Easter 2020

Well despite the craziness of Covid19 we set another record as the most snow ever on Easter Sunday. 
Why not - took the day off from walking, but still had a nice enjoyable day. 
They say we got 4 - where it stayed I had a whole more than that on my deck.......

Saint Paul MN - Social Distancing walking buddies

We are getting in 2 hours plus/minus walks almost daily to get the day going.
Ghost, the dog, keeps us moving.
We might as well keep walking, it just fills more of the day.
Fabulous Saturday morning so we did a double hill walk. 

Saint Paul MN - Hmmm only in Minnesota I think

We got a fabulous spring afternoon today.  And so social distanced my way to the Post Office on foot. 
On my path I ran across a niche protest group that made me laugh - only in Minnesota I think!

Saint Paul MN - Surviving the "Stay Home Plan"

Cheikh seems to have enough class work to keep him busy and out of trouble. 
I had added a puzzle to my daily schedule - way behind Eileen and team DeMarkey that seem to be kicking them out almost daily.

Saint Paul MN - Hanging at Home

Not much to post when you are asked to stay at home - and nothing is open to go to anyway.
Been getting in long walks each day and working on miscellaneous projects day to day. 
Seems like early spring is going to happen so that will open up the deck, yard and biking as well.
Had a couple visitors hanging out in the front yard when I came back home earlier today. 

Saint Paul MN - Getting a bit of life back

Wow, a few very quick weeks since my mother died.
And she planned it well.  Had she gone on a week longer, not sure what kind of celebration we would have had.
Since then, the world has closed down - and likewise for me......LOL
But we took a moment to celebrate Greg's birthday last night on a Zoom call - it was a big hit and a big success and we got everyone that remembered to get on the call, on the call.

Rochester MN - Celebrating Grandma Day 2

We hit the ground running at 9 on Saturday and piece of the day went as well or even better than planned.
We finished up the official events at the cemetery and then headed back to Dooley's to gather with friends and family still around to have one more toast and lots and lots of conversation in honor of grandma/mom/Evie.

Rochester MN - Day 1 Grandma send off

With a short time line we were still able to gather almost all of our gang for our last night enjoying the country club as a family and celebrating grandma/mom/Evie's life.
Great night - and one that extended on for many once we got back to the hotel.
