Face Masks

I hate this Coronavirus face mask thing!  As a result of having to wear hearing aids, half of what I do when listening to someone is read their lips.  Not only can I not see lips, but voices are muffled.  I probably seem even more clueless than usual since I just smile and nod!  They are ineffective except maybe on sick people who are coughing, they are hot and uncomfortable and they take away my ability to interact with people even more than usual.  Bah, humbug!!

My Brick Wall

No new sightings of James Galloway Parks, born Virginia, died Indiana (at least where he lived in old age).  Born 1791, he married my great great grandmother, Eliza Jane Clevenger Thornburg in 1845.  I need help on this ancestor!

Easter 2020

Easter Sunday 2020 was spent at home, watching part of Calvary Chapel St. George livestreaming, Pastor Rick's The Promised Land Resort Easter message from Fruitland, UT, listening to part of Andrea Bocelli's live concert, and finishing up with Franklin Graham's message from Central Park, NYC.  Very different but very blessed.

For your Easter ham leftovers, here's a crazy good lima bean and ham soup recipe.  This year I saved three sandwich bags of one cup of ham for future soup cravings.  Switch out lima beans for split peas!

We are in the middle of Coronavirus


Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Also known as: SARS-CoV-2, nCov, 2019 Novel Coronavirus
People are in panic mode

COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus.

Symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are a cough, a high temperature and shortness of breath.

Simple measures like washing your hands often with soap and water can help stop viruses like coronavirus (COVID-19) spreading.

There’s no specific treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19). 

Treatment aims to relieve the symptoms until you recover.

It's not known exactly how coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads from person to person, but similar viruses are spread in cough droplets.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.
