Hello from Social Distancing

We are now cruising into July ~ the rain has stopped and the temperature has moved into hot and sweaty.  

Amy and I continue to curtail 99% of what we ever used to do.  Amy goes to the barn and occasionally the drug store and occasionally Weaver Street Market.  I go to work and wear a mask and use hand sanitizer every time I touch anything.  I will go to the grocery about twice a week and the drug store less.  We do carry out sometimes.  And that is our life outside of our back porch and back yard.

Our neighbor, Rhonda, is in our bubble.  She will come over to our house and the back porch.  I have had dinner in her back yard.  We are really isolative.

Jane's roomate, India, was brought back to school last Friday and they asked to stop at our house.  Amy got the message and said "I will ask the gatekeeper".  Well, I said alright and then worried.  I decided to have barbeque and serve it out on the back porch with paper plates, plastic utensils and paper napkins with a trash can on the porch to put everything. (Thank you Mary Discher for that idea!)  But on Friday morning India texted us to say they were not coming.  They were getting a late start.  I am a horrible person, but I was glad.  I love India's family but I really did not want to open the house to other people.

I see people everywhere with no masks.  And Durham really never closed ~ Jim closed the building and people come to the front door to talk to the cell phone repair company and the CBD company.   The mail man doesn't wear a mask.  Last Friday, the city of Raleigh announced that if a person was outside their home, they needed to wear a mask.  I am waiting for Durham to go that way.  The numbers for COVID keep going up.  I wonder what is going to happen.
