Thanks to everyone who has called, email and sent texts checking in on us and we hopefully have touched base with a lot of you through those communication means. With Social Distancing the norm, many changes occur hour to hour and sometimes even soon.
We are doing well -- and try not to watch too much TV to up the anxiety and stress. Here at North Ranch they have cancelled all activities until June 17 or until further notice. So that means the clubhouse, activity center, pickleball barn and any and all special events are closed and locked.
I remember other critical events ie. Y2K, 9/11, Avian (Bird flu), the 2008 financial crisis -- and I can even go back further to the fuel shortage in the 70's and a lot of you go back to Viet Nam, World Wars, other Wars, depression and on an on --- we have a marvelous brain function that forgets "heavy duty" painful events --- and so we can reflect back and remember that we came through!!!!
We are trying to minimize our exposure with only essential activities like doctor appointments, grocery shopping and post office runs. We stocked up on books today because it is likely the library will close at some point. And as mentioned in an early post, we are finding all kinds of "RV" home projects to complete -- and shed cleaning/reorganizing. We are trying to up our exercise to alleviate the worry and when the weather cooperates, a few desert rides are on the way.
Fortunately, Yavapai county has no known cases so that is good news. We are healthy and we have essentials for about 2 weeks (maybe a little more with creative meals) --- as with so much of the country we are in a wait and watch, and trying to remain positive that this too will pass.
I am amazed at the positives and kindness (no matter how small or large) that I find each day online, in the news or shared by family/friends ----- today I received a free pattern from one of the cross stitch shops I follow and they sent out a pattern to download during this crisis ....
We keep all of you in our prayers and please let us know how you are doing! I guess the saying "What doesn't kill you, makes you Stronger" says it all --- I just didn't think it would apply to a Pandemic!
Sending love and blessings from the road,
Susan & Darrel
