*A RECAP OF THE LAST THREE WEEKS*
AMERICA: Oh my god! Coronavirus! What should we do?
CALIFORNIA: Shut down your state.
AMERICA: Wait... what? Why?
CALIFORNIA: Because 40 million people live here and we did it early, and it's working.
OHIO: Whoa... whoa... let's not be hasty now. The president said that this whole coronavirus thing is a democratic hoax.
CALIFORNIA: He also said that windmills cause cancer. Shut down your state.
TEXAS: But the president said that we only have 15 cases and soon it'll be zero.
CALIFORNIA: The president can't count to fifteen. Nor even spell it. Shut down your state.
NEW JERSEY: Us too?
CALIFORNIA: Yes, you guys too. Just like when Christie shut down the bridge, but it's your whole state.
FLORIDA: But what about all these kids here on spring break?? They spend a lot of money here!
CALIFORNIA: Those kids invented the tide pod challenge. Shut down your state.
LOUISIANA: But wait let's have Mardi Gras first. It entertains people.
CALIFORNIA: It also kills them. Shut it down.
GEORGIA: Ok well how about we keep the state open for all of our mega churches? Maybe we can all pray really hard until the coronavirus just goes away!
CALIFORNIA: Which is working like a charm for mass shootings. Jesus told us to tell you to shut down your state.
OKLAHOMA: What about the tigers?
CALIFORNIA: What about a dentist. Shut it down.
WYOMING: Hold up, maybe we should go county by county like the president said.
CALIFORNIA: Stop acting like there are counties in Wyoming. There are no counties in Wyoming. Wyoming is a county. Shut it down.
PENNSYLVANIA: But big coal.
CALIFORNIA: But big death. Shut it.
WEST VIRGINIA: But we were the last state to get coronavirus!
CALIFORNIA: And don't make us explain to you why that was. Shut it down.
NORTH CAROLINA: But the republican national convention is coming here!
CALIFORNIA: SHU... ok fine, do what you want.

For the beauty of the earth...🎢

Thinking of my friends and close relatives with warm loving hugs during such a tumultuous time in our lives.

Please try to stay well and sane!

Re: ’BREAKING’ NEWS (2)

How traumatic, LJ!  You have been through a lot!  Hoping you are on the mend and that the wafflette is playing a big role. It's great that you have so much support. The Madison sisterhood supports you from afar.
Love
Linda

Synopsis of BN (1)

It was a sunny, windless day at Point Lobos, one of the most beautiful spots on earth (immediately south of Carmel).

The shades of intense blue, turquoise, pale green waters a sight to behold!  A perfect day ...for pictures...to be hiking...together with a great pal!

The editor of "Breaking News" refined   'breaking' with a fall that took us for a ride in a ranger's car (no ambulance πŸš‘ could access the scene) to Carmel hospital.  Yup, broken fibula plateau. 😭

Now go to bottom of pix...😁



NOW, the best news, I am using crutches (no weight on foot situation) and  I find it difficult not to over-do.

I have laid out all of the utensils and materials needed to play with my new wafflette device to make cinnamon waffles tomorrow morning.

This is all such a leap from The Cove, beginning in mid-August ... 😩

And would not have been possible without a squadrons/flock helping me "every step of the way."

Gratitude is seems anemic for how my soul and heart feel.

With love,

Laura/LJ


My pristine bed stand for 15 minutes.



Five weeks and two days later, it was time to "move" back to my bedroom.

Chauncey Cove was established to surround me with all I needed - meds, water, coffee, peanut butter and a lot of etcetera!


Absolutely magnificent bouquet to Oma from Kimi.  The magic of flowers and the scents they offer is superb soul food.

Re: ’BREAKING’ NEWS (2)

Hey, LJ, so sorry to hear about you injury.  BTW, when i looked up "fibula plateau" all I could find was "tibial plateau."  Same thing?
Very glad to hear that you have lots of support (in both senses), and I wish you a complete and smooth recovery, my dear.
Keep the news coming!
Love,
Shirley

Re: ’BREAKING’ NEWS (2)

That sounds wicked. (Had to look it up before responding)
So very sorry this happened.
Your are brave to go through all this but you don't really have a choice. Your choice is to meet this head on and keep going. Just like you. So many would give up. I know you will do all your therapy and recover. I imagine the hardest is yet to come when you start to put weight on it.
Sending love and prayers
Carolyn
