The weather is nice, sun shiny and melting and though there is bare ground nearby, I have a miniature skating rink at my door (facing north). Fortunately, Skylar was sitting outside putting fishing line on her reel when I used my ice for my double axel complete with scream. She was quick getting to me. My elbow cracked the stone house and a couple of sore knees and a soaking wet behind (the melty day). She was very patient helping me up. I was just coming home from a nice afternoon, Sr. U.C.W meeting. Our hostess, Lorna Russell. Betty filled in as president in Lynda’s absence. Pauline, Betty Jean, Joan and our newest member, Laura. A helpful household hint was our roll call. A few readings for St. Patrick’s Day, a dessert after our lunch, a most wonderful fresh berry trifle, yummy!
Received word March 16 that the Tehkummah Hall is closed until further notice!
Skylar also found the screw nail that had fallen out of my falling apart oven door. We got that fixed up Tuesday, I can bake again!
The March moon is looking in my windows again tonight, looks like a great round of cheddar! Very beautiful!

I was a bit achy this morning then, to help matters, Cleo jumped up and knocked my cup of coffee all over my nice new Easter and special notes. I was writing and sealed stuck my envelopes became sealed. I said darn it/grumble!

Skylar went with me on Friday to help with laundry. What a wind. We drove to South Baymouth before coming home to see very small waves compared to the wind that would have broken my arm if it had been in the way when it slammed the car door shut.
Mollie phoned, as everyone is so concerned these days with the shutdowns, closure and panic, pandemic. She calls it the human lottery game. Sounds about right! Are you enjoying your self quarantine? We will go stir crazy, talking to ourselves, oh, it’s OK, I’m a brilliant conversationalist! Geez, that’s a long word!
Just received a call that church is cancelled for a week or? I like my church!
Be awful if Canada’s civil war is caused by a TP issue. Hopefully the spring winds dry out all those leaves laying on the ground, we may need them!
So nice to say “hello” to Erwin Thompson, we did an elbow bump!
