The Lockdown continures

The world has slowed with the corona virus circus...James has been sent home from school and we are still unsure but we think that the year was all over for school.  He has had to sit around the house and self quarantine.  Well, I don't think he's minded too much actually....Laura and Catherine have spent two of the weekends up at the lake with some friends...No, they havent been doing too much social distancing....They really like to take off and go driving somewhere, whether it be covered bridges or some areas of Lake Winnepesaukee.  Jack has spent alot of his quarantine over Ant Jo's house.  I call him every day and he's having an absolute blast...I get his texts and facetime videos updating me. 

Quarantine time at the lake

It was time for us to do some social distancing.  Oh and what about that bra....Two weeks ago was our wedding anniversary and is always the case, it was impossible to buy anything for Lyn.  So, I decided I would get her some workout clothes and other sweaters and such.  During the picking out of items I was FaceTiming Laura to get her opinion about colors and style etc....as I was walking through the ladies department Laura thought it would be a great idea to either get huge panty hose or a huge bra.  So, of course a size 38 DD was purchased....after Lyn turned it down Laura knew she had to give it to Alice.  Those two goofballs have been taking turns wearing it to different businesses....and then it was my turn

Ahhh, don’t you jut love a great fire.  It was s’mores time on Friday night inside the the side of the road chimney that I found .

Black Gordon is still cool

One good thing about this pandemic is that the college boy gets to come home...under strict orders to stay home, we went to the earl for breakfast and as long as I had them in my wallet, I am going to visit our favorite train and tender!!!  

After we got home there were two others that needed attention so off we went 

Where did they go??

Okay, not a good way to start the year with skimping on the blog....yes, i know.  Life gets a little busy and my firewall at work doesnt allow me to edit the blog so i'm kind of stuck on pause.  Anyway, whats been going on in this household the last three months??  Well, Jimmy is at college and now he's home avoiding the corona virus.......The best thing is that he and Jackie have been hanging out, especially yesterday when they both went to play basketball and I guess Jackie was starring with his three point shots after being given some shooting pointers from Jimmy and Charlie...Word is their three on three team went 5-0.  They were both home today and after complaining about being sore, they helped me with some yard work....Oh, there was some major complaining but they helped dear old dad....i needed the help!!!
So Laura has just has been out of this world with her swimming.  She went to a meet in Florida with swimmers from all over the country that go to qualify for the Olympic qualifiers.  so she was swimming with Olympians....not only swimming with them, she was competing.  I had gone to a funeral for Big Bill's mom and after the funeral we went for a meal gathering.  While i was sitting down eating, i recieved word on my cell phone that Laura had made the finals.  Needless to say this somber event was interrupted by my yelling "ARE YOU KIDDING ME".....Of course everyone was concerned as to what was wrong and i was just stunned, in a happy way.  Just to be there is an  honor but to make the finals in such a meet is quite the accomplishment......So while she was there she jumped into a warm up lane with Ryan Lochte and Caleb Dressel...of course she did!! She also got a picture with Dressel.  She was quite star struck......sooo, thats all well and good, but a couple of weeks later Laura and I were at the New England Age group championships and the little stinker continued on her winning ways and she qualified for the Futures meet in Columbus Ohio in August.  This Futures meet is apparently her biggest meet attained up to now. 
My little Catherine has been healing with her back injury and she is looking forward so much to the track season.  She says that she cant stand not being involved with a sport because she gets bored.  She's always been so busy with gymnastics and swimming so it's good to see that the track season is around the corner.  Jackie boy has been involved with his soccer team on Sundays and two nights a week he's been practicing for the baseball season.  They have an indoor practice where the kids practice pitching, hitting and fielding.  He's really committed to it and likes to play baseball.   I will tray, i swear to keep up with this blog....i swear!!
