Heroes and Reflections

Some things get me emotional, and I confess that this photo of Shauna and others preparing to deliver breakfast to the residents got to me.

As of Sunday, Shauna has worked for 7 straight days and doing overtime too while helping out in areas that are, like this, well beyond her job description. She expects this to be her new normal for the time being.

I imagine the outfits are to connect with Hawaii and palm trees on Palm Sunday. They do what they can to spread cheer even if it isn't in keeping with the religious connotations.

This morning, I checked her location on the Find Friends app; apparently, she stayed there overnight. I don't know if this was a one-off or if it will be the new norm.

=======================

Speaking of Shauna and her residence (and residents). They were grateful to receive this from a local distiller that has reconfigured its production to meet COVID needs.

=========================

Another example of Good People Going Above and Beyond: a friend of Sha's  who also is Sue's manicurist picked up a few items that WMart missed in our recent order.. We made arrangements for her to leave this single bag out on the porch for us to, in turn, pick up from her.

We now have eggs and cat food, and she will do a main shopping for us and others once per week. That along with online+pickup should keep us in good stead. We'll be fine.

While I do feel that I could move about safely to shop, Sha and her friend have gone to lengths to help us, so Sue says the least we can do is stay safe, so it is one less worry for our overburdened daughter.

======================

After picking up the groceries we drove to the river for just a few minutes, Since we don't stop for a coffee when we do this anymore, we don't stay long. It is not the same, and it also seems somewhat frivolous at this time when people are asked to stay home. In our case, we were out already for the pickup, so it didn't seem so wrong.

It was overcast but calm so there was a nice reflection in the pond between the parking lot and the river. The pond was considerably larger last spring. It will stay flooded for perhaps a few weeks before the area dries out until we do it all again next spring.

This was to be another reflection photo, but I ended up cropping away the reflection part on the lwoer half because I like the composition better this way.

=======================

Finally, we don't have a funny selfie to share today, but I'm sure we will be back on the ball tomorrow. So here's a Lacey as a lagniappe.
