Sorry, Officer

We left the house after working in the morning and went to the Temple to recycle our newspapers.

From there, we went to the Fruitland Park Public Library.  It's a new building and they now have a cafe on the premises.

For some time we were the only patrons in the cafe.  Terry had a chicken salad sandwich and I had a chef's salad.  Another couple wandered in just before closing.

We sat in a room filled with books on sale through the Friends of the Library.

Marilyn - with booklet in hand (see rest of the story)

As we left the library, I thought it would be fun to follow the booklet (in the photo above) and take a driving tour of the properties of note in the area.  We started following the booklet and promptly got lost and found ourselves on a street and in a school pick-up line of cars. 

To our left was the City Hall and a parking lot leading into another street.  It had three cones blocking off the City Hall Lot, but I moved one of the cones and proceeded to the parking lot and then got out of the car again to replace the cone I had moved.  A local policeman drove up and admonished me for moving "one of our cones."  I told him we had been at the library and got lost and apologized. He told me not to do it again and left me go!!!

From there, we went to Pier 1 to get two more of the balls in dark shades of blue.  There were only two balls left so I'm glad that we stopped.  I have enough of the balls now.

The more I am reading about Type 1 Diabetics and this new virus, and people over 60 and the virus, the crazier I am getting. Have cancelled Miranda's trip (again). If she got the virus going through two International Airports, I would never forgive myself. I'm  also discussing with Terry leaving early to go home.  Stay tuned.  Yes, I know I am over reacting, but sometimes you have to listen to your gut.

The stock market is in free fall again - they had to stop trading for a time today.  Trump said "any President who had a loss of over 1000 points in a day should be shot through a cannon."  Anyone want to contribute to that cannon ride for him?

Was catching up on the new JUF News and saw my cousin Samantha's photo in there.


Samantha is on the right
