  1. I am working during this. Delivering food from restaurants via postmates. I figure someone has to do it and I need the money. That first photo is beautiful! You should put that one on Instagram. I always love seeing your furry family. Oh and there is a glimpse of the kitchen. I love. I’m still planning on a kitchen overhaul. But other things to be done first. I got electricity run to the garage last week. Had a fence guy out to discuss a new fence but now waiting on my landscape guys to clean up my yard so the fence can be done. It’s more than I can handle. And still waiting to hear from both brick guys I spoke to about brick repairs. I don’t know how these companies stay in business…they are so lax in getting back to you.

  2. Do you know which internet company is offering free service?

  3. I put less in my kitchen garbage can, and change it more often so I lift it. There are other tasks I divide like this. The last two years it is essential.

  4. There are a lot of really good people in our country and our world, including you, Brenda. I think we lose sight of that during ordinary times as the bad eggs are the ones that make the news. Thanks for your inspiring post and reminding us that there are those who care about the welfare of others and demonstrate it through acts of kindness that they do.

    I had to cut my own hair last week as I didn’t want to possibly expose myself to the virus by going to the hairdresser. I have done it lots of times before but not for a long time. It turned out okay, though, and feels so much better. Brenda, you won’t have to worry about a haircut any time soon, will you?? I remember when I lost all my hair when I had chemo for breast cancer and my head was always cold. I even slept in a little hat. Hope it is getting warm enough in Tulsa that you won’t need to do that.

    Be safe and stay well. This, too, will pass.

  5. We had food delivered yesterday. They left it at the back door but I could see her, to thank her, though the glass. I was so grateful. And yup, I gave her a huge tip…

  6. One of our local policemen posted notes on doors of senior citizens homes and offered to pick up groceries and meds for them…anytime just call the department.

  7. You are such a kind and thoughtful person Brenda! I’m sure the delivery woman appreciated the gloves and the generous tip! That is a beautiful picture of Ivy ! I was thinking the same as you about cutting my own hair, when I get to the point when I can’t stand it any longer I’ll ask my daughter who lives with me to cut it !

  8. You are such a wonderful person and you and your blog gives such joy to so many. Kindness is contagious and speaking of that, we must be very thankful that even though many more people are testing positive for the virus, the good news is that the number of deaths is still rather on the low side, thank the good Lord for that…even though not one is okay!!

  9. So glad I am a Retired Registered Nurse.

    I exposed myself to germs for 44 years when I was working. I even had an AIDS patient. Thank goodness I never acquired any of these germs . We always used Universal Precautions. Gloves masks and washing our hands a zillion times a day.

    1. The washing of the hands we all are learning now to do every time we turn around. Dry hands!

  10. I have been making masks and giving them to people what has to work

  11. We are all humans and our needs for basics are the same. This is a wonderful post showing how much we need human kindness. xo Laura

  12. Brenda, wonderful inspiring post today. Thank you.
    How can I find a local FB page that might serve the community? What did you search for?

    1. I didn’t search. My older daughter sent me an invite. But I’d go to FB groups or just Search on FB and look for Covid-19. That’s what this one is called. Shop Local & Covid 19.

  13. We have more testing available in the USA than other countries so our reported cases will be more according to the news. There is information about how to isolate and clean packages we receive. I saw a doctor who showed me how he wearstwo pairs of gloves. One was for his personal protection. He does not take them off. The second he wears over those and replaces them after each patient. Be safe.

    1. Actually our rate of testing is behind other countries. When we actually have more testing available we will see a substantial increase in the number of reported cases. This may serve to decrease the percentage of deaths as compared to actual cases, although there are more than likely deaths that have not been attributed to the coronavirus.

  14. I also saw that US surpassed those countries. But be aware that they’re talking tiny countries and take per capita into consideration. Comparing the US with Italy for instance is no comparison. Be careful of scare tactics. Having said that, we should still maintain our quarantine.
    It’s nice to see others doing kindness is this mess.

  15. This was a great post Brenda. I think we all need to help and show kindness in whatever way we can. Thank you for showing such kindness and giving the delivery person some gloves and a nice tip. I am working on some beautiful gift bags to give to my daughter’s cancer clinic she runs. It gives me motivation and makes me feel wonderful to do kindness for those on the front lines of this.
    Have a good Friday and wonderful weekend.

    1. That’s wonderful, Kris! I told my older daughter about the Xmas time gifts of toiletries you send to African girls. (I think it was African? Could be wrong.) Concept is the same anyway.

  16. Just read of a girlfriend posting her boyfriend was out of his construction job and looking for work. So daughter sent her a message saying we needed some repairs with our chicken coupe and included my number. He never called. Maybe he got a job at one of the grocery stores hiring now. That was so nice of you to leave her the gloves. You can truly see the spirit of people changing in these troubled times and it is wonderful.

    1. It brings the best out in some people. The worst out in others. Now I have to figure out how to cut my hair because it drives me nuts as it grows because it’s so thick.

  17. How lovely, Brenda – did you ever see that movie from ages ago called Pay It Forward? It was sooo good and speaks of doing kind things for others and they then turn around and do kind things for someone else and so on…you may enjoy it!

    The sun is shining here today and I’m hoping it will melt this snow so I can get back out soon and clear some more garden beds. Hard to believe next week is April!

    Enjoy your weekend, my friend – xo

    1. Sounds like something I may have watched. I’ll look it up. I have an iris about ready to bloom so that makes me happy.
