Janice & Dennis arrive

My honey left for golf on Saturday morning (3/13), while I slept in a bit before doing intake on a new customer quilt.  Both my cell and home phones were ringing off the hook, but I finally made it to my studio around 11 AM.  

I spent over an hour on a ‘computer chat’ to try to get my GARMIN VIVOFIT to update for daylight savings time, with (finally) success!!  After that I was STARVING and headed upstairs for breakfast.   

In the early afternoon I was once again downstairs and got a lot of quilting done on Paula’s quilt, and got the border on my QoV zig zag:  

I am SO in love with this new quilt pattern….but the next time I make it, the one small tweak I might do is to make that mulit-color border smaller and then add dark blue to the very outside.  As it is, I will bind this one in the dark blue.  

My honey came home very happy from golf with a score of 83.  He didn’t have any birdies, but he did hit 3 drives over 200 yards and was SUPER excited by that.  

Janice & Dennis arrived around 3:30 PM and Paula came down for a visit:  

Michael left for rehearsal, Anne came over for dinner, then we all left for Lancaster….first to drop off Janice’s machine at Loree & Reg’s house, and then on to the play (12 ANGRY JURORS) in Lancaster.  The play was EXCELLENT and we were home before 10 PM.  Michael and Dennis headed to bed early as they are both playing golf this (Saturday) AM, while Janice and I sat out on the lanair until 1:30 AM….talking over EVERYTHING  :~).

Given what has happened in the last 48 hours, I hope in November you all remember this timeline coming out of the White House (in his own words):

January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”

February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”

February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”

February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”

February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”

March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”

March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”

March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”

March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”

March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”

March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”

March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”

March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”

March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”

March 9: “This blindsided us."

March 9: "The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant.”

March 10: "It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away."

March 13: National Emergency declared

As usual, a whole lotta gobbledy-gook, nothing of any substance, and no help what-so-ever.
