Making Memories: June 28, 2020

For those who follow this blog, I am sorry I have not been more diligent in keeping it up to date. My only excuse is that not much has happened since this Covid 19 pandemic hit the world in March.

We finished out our winter season in California arriving home on April 5th. We were instructed that a quarantine was in effect and that we could not stop anywhere along our route from the Canadian border to home, and that we should stay there (at home) for 14 days. That wasn't a problem for us, as we had stopped and shopped in Bullhead City, Arizona and had enough groceries to l last a month. Our little city of Greenwood was in 'lockdown' anyway, so really? where were we going to go???

It was nice to be home, got all settled in and put the motorhome to bed for the summer.

So now, what have we been doing since we've arrived? Michel has been busy carpentering. Three years ago we talked about putting barn doors in our bedroom to replace the bathroom door and the closet door. I bought the railings and this year it is done. Picture below. I am thrilled!!

That project out of the way, he is now working on an arbor for outside. I will post pictures when it is done.

We've had quite a bit of rain this year already, so outside work has been at a minimum. It is a good thing that my garden out back is all perennials. I just had to buy a few petunias for the pots..... It's looking pretty good!

And Michel had cataract surgery on this left eye on June 23rd and is scheduled for surgery on the right one on July 7th. That just put a small delay on the arbor.

As for myself .... last winter I took a class from Maureen (our painting teacher at Desert Oasis) in sculpting with wire and fabric. I posted about it on March 4th. That really peaked my interest, so I have been "building dolls" so to speak. I've been using a different product, but in the end... (I have to waterproof them with a spray) they can go outside too.
