May 1, 2020 . . .

The guest speaker today was to be Cria Kohl, Great Lakes Marine Historian/Scuba Diver, Seawolf Communications Inc., talking about Great Lakes Shipwrecks. So, today was going to be a mystery (at least to me). Today we were supposed to hear about old ships that went to the bottom of the Great Lakes.
But, today, I rediscovered why we had to have some rainy days. There was a row of tulips blooming right next door! There must be some truth in that old saying – ‘April showers bring May Flowers’.
I guess we can choose to be a lot of things, now that we’re all cooped up at home. I chose to be happy; to look on the bright side, and I hope that all of you are happy, regardless what boat you are in – happy and safe. And, what more could I ask for? Here I am, alone with the love of my life, Inge, together with our old dog, Rosie, stuck, alone in our house! Life could sure be a whole lot worse! I really hope that it’s going just as well for everyone else!
Our hearts go out to the people who lost loved ones in Nova Scotia. What a tragedy. That an individual could be so disturbed that he would resort to such violence.
For those of us with the technology – a smart phone, tablet, laptop or computer and internet access, we can tune in to Cake and a Concert at 7 PM on Saturday – Tomorrow! Wow! And you thought we were all just stuck! I sent an email out yesterday to everyone that I had an email address. As I said in the email, the WSO String Quartet was going to play for us in June, but had to cancel due to the Covid-19 attack restrictions – They’re doing this online concert instead.
Here we are, at home, a very familiar place, in a really scary world – but as I said, earlier, it really could be a whole lot worse.
Stay safe, stay well, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
