On Thursday morning, Princess brought her two kids up and we spent a nice few hours visiting, going out to lunch, and enjoying regular world activities.
After that, nothing seemed normal. Bossy called to tell me that Sam's Club had all of the checkstands open with a dozen carts waiting in each line. There was no toilet paper, eggs, flour, bread, cheese... shelves were empty and still people poured into the store just hoping they might be able to find what they need.
Baby Doll and I went to Parent Teacher Conferences alone because my sweetie was in St. George with Curly for a baseball tournament. I couldn't go because Scout had a volleyball tournament, Baby Doll had a dance competition, and I had 600 boxes of cookies that still needed to be sold during 6 hours of cookie booths scheduled for Saturday.
Except one by one, all of those things were cancelled except the cookie booths. Ours were scheduled for the last day they were allowed to be held. My world was rapidly falling apart and there was absolutely nothing we could do. All County libraries are closed, Rec Centers and community buildings are closed, museums, even Disneyland, all closed.

The final ax fell today when all public schools in the entire state of Utah were closed to students for the next two weeks. Schoolwork will be online and parents will be hunkering down with their families while they watch for the Corona Virus storm to pass us by.
Dear Heavenly Father, please watch over us all.

I meant to say I enjoy your blog and pray for you and your family..It looks like your foot is healing praise God for that..too bad you had to have the operation but I feel that God watches out for his faithful seervants..I live around a lot of LDS families and they seem far happier than the others, they have always been so kind and loving to me and my family..They seem to live their faith and happy with their faith..too bad that others cannot have that faith because the times we are in are testing many and in my opinion ONLY GOD will save a person..Have a most wonderful week with your loving hubs and loving family...peace to you & yours!!!!!!!!!!!!
