I have not been on here since jun of last year, lot has happened since then. Marie and I are both officially retired now and looking forward to the next chapter in our lives.

The reason that i am on here is we are facing huge challenges as a country right now with this Virus. most states have placed travel restrictions on people tryin to curb the spread of this Virus. most are remaining in there homes except to make grocery runs for critical supplies. Some of the biggest things that are no where to be found are toilet paper hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies. Marie Elli and I are doing fine under the circumstances we have gotten into a routine and we play cards/games every night. the order has not come to Georgia yet but we have stocked up on supplies to last 4 to 6 weeks with not having to leave the house.

The Virus started in China, it's a animal virus that jumped to humans some how and first spread all over China and then it jumped from country to country. Now its here and doing lots of damage. I think the biggest reason it's hitting so hard is that China underplayed its effects to save face and it spread much more quickly. The virus attacks the lungs and it hits the elderly and people with pre existing conditions much harder.

So far Robby and Karaline and our first grand daughter are doing fine out in Washington State, Shirley is also doing well in Texas. I worry more for Shirley though because she is a health care professional and that will put her in harms way a lot more with greater risk.

I will try to get on here more often now that Marie and I are retired and we start to do some traveling once this virus crap is over...
