79 ?

I turned another year older yesterday. Didn't really do anything, but we did drive to Mayfield and had supper at Burger King - drive through, eat in parking lot. Dominic went into Walmart for a few things, mainly milk. He also bought a pecan pie to celebrate my birthday. I think I'll have a piece of it now.

ZOOM!

We're still spending most of our time at home, but we do get out some, mostly to pharmacy and grocery, and fast-food drive-throughs. Our neighbor, who is an X-ray tech, gave us two masks, and Alyssa has given us two that she made. She has been making them and giving them to friends and neighbors. Masks are mandatory in Illinois now, and will be soon in Kentucky. I don't like wearing them, but of course I will.

One of my online knitting groups has started having online meetings on Zoom, and our rector is having Zoom coffee hours. I was lamenting the fact that I can't join in, because there is no camera on my computer (and Walmart is out of them), but Alyssa said there is one on my iPad. Carmen bought this iPad for me when I was in the nursing home, but I couldn't figure it out, so it has just been sitting here. Alyssa and the kids visited us a week ago and she set things up for me. Yesterday at 11am, I joined the Grace Church coffee hour. There were only six of us, but it was nice to see everyone. Then at 6pm I joined the KnitTalk group. I think there were 18 of us, and it was very interesting to see these people I've been communicating with online for several years. I knew what Alison looks like, because I have her book of shawl patterns and I followed her blog for several years (I'm not following any blogs now). But I had no idea what any of the others looked like. I had sort of pictured Robin as looking like a woman I go to church with, but she is very different.
