I'm laughing that you found the actress who played Anne a little annoying! I can see that. How wonderful of your daughter and son-in-law to bring you groceries! A home delivery service! Joanne R.

But if they're all as well written as this one by Lois Lowry, I'd consider reading them. <br /><br />I'm also concerned about people stopping social distancing too soon. Like all those people on the beach in Florida! Joanne R.

This one sounds really good. I have been thinking about the Spanish Flu of 1918 and the waves. That is what I think the biggest concern for me is. Everyone connecting and stopping social distancing too early. Love that you are keeping a record of what you are doing! <br />Stay well!<br />~Jess DMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-32569153385515992792020-04-21T13:40:30.874-04:002020-04-21T13:40:30.874-04:00Wow.

I watched all the Anne with an E shows and really enjoyed them, although I found the girl who played Anne a little annoying. Good to know you have plenty of food. I was able to order a huge package of toilet paper delivered from Sam's Club. If you're a member, it's a good source. My daughter and son-in-law bring me groceries every couple weeks. They have been so great. There are some good documentaries about the 1917-1918 pandemic on YouTube.

Thanks for the tip about Walmart! <br /><br />As for how long this virus might go on: it seems other countries are doing better than we are. I just read this morning that New Zealand, under strict lockdown, has managed to keep it down to 12 deaths. We're already up to more than 41,000 deaths in the US! Here's a link to the Guardian article about NZ: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/20/new-zealand-plans-to-ease-coronavirus-lockdown-in-a-weekJoanne R.

I'm worried too for how long this is going to go on and how unsafe we'll be in large crowds. Makes me glad I work at home. Sorry I don't know of any books about that time.<br /><br />I was on a family zoom meeting yesterday and some cousins were mentioning Anne with an E. I have to start that show. <br /><br />I've been on the hunt for toilet paper because my mom uses a lot. Check the Walmart website frequently because they sometime have some that can be delivered. I just got some. And order quickly before their supply runs out. That happened to me once. Stay safe and healthy.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.com
