Corona Thoughts, part 19 (Tartan Day)

4.6.2020

Today was another gray day.  A bit of misty rain off and on.  And lots of "work at home" work to do.

Today is Tartan Day in the United States.  It is a National Day of Recognition of those with Scottish heritage and is often commemorated by kilted parades in some of the larger cities.  New York has a particularly large one, but not this year.  




Images from Tartan Day parades in the past.  It would be cool to see one of these days!


In our own remembrance with sported the tartans at home today.

Today, being Monday is one of the days that Sadie's school provides lunches.  We are told that it actually helps the school when lunches are delivered because it allows them to show contact time with students.  It also provides a bit of variety for Sadie around here.

News reports are now that people should avoid grocery stores and pharmacies for the next two weeks.  They are predicting a surge in cases, but I have not seen a good explanation as to why.  More testing?  Don't know.

Stephanie had a faculty meeting through Zoom, and I worked off and on through the day on class management and grading essays until my eyes crossed.  She also did an online video advertising one of her businesses - Color Street.  In this weird world, when women cannot get to nail salons, this could be a good time to sell easy nail polish.  

Supper was Sticky Chicken, which was an Asian recipe Stephanie found.  

Evening's entertainment:  Doctor Doolittle (1967) with Rex Harrison.




Here are some pictures of us in our tartans from the past few years!

Happy Tartan Day!!!

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
